Oronoco Rum

For a few years I've been a devotee of 10 Cane rum.

Today, I may have become an Oronoco convert. Or, more likely, I'll concede that there's a place in the world for both of these excellent products. 10 Cane is slightly less expensive, if memory serves. Both have a deliciously fragrant aroma of sugar, vanilla, and caramel that make them appropriate for either sipping of mixing, though Oronoco isn't quite as sweet.

And because a cocktail does not a dinner make, we had colcannon as well. It's an Irish dish consisting of sauteed cabbage mixed up with mashed potatoes, milk, butter, salt, and pepper, then baked/broiled until crusty and hot.
