Episode 49: Winter Cocktails and DIY Gifts. Dec 19, 2013
Show notes

We felt it was high past time to reprise our exploration of season beverages. Back again is Eron Rauch, cocktail enthusiast, photographer, food blogger and friend. We sit down around the microphones to warm up in spirit of the season with some seasonal spirits! Following that, we discuss some simple DIY style gifts ideas.
Mulled Wine
One bottle of wine
2 tblsp whole allspice
2 tblsp whole clove
2 tblsp dried orange rind
2 tblsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar or honey
2 cups orange juice/Triple Sec/brandy (optional)
2 tblsp vanilla extract or 1 bean (optional)
2 tblsp star anise (optional)
Place all ingredients in a pan over low heat. Do not let it boil, you'll lose your alcohol! Allow it to mull for at least 30 minutes. A crock pot will work quite well. Ladle into mugs, and enjoy!
Hot Port Sangaree
15 oz of ruby port
2 oz pomegranate molasses
3 1/2 oz simple syrup
3/4 oz lemon juice
3 dashes Angostura Bitters
5 dashes Orange Bitters
Combine ingredients in a 750 ml bottle. If not being served immediately it will keep, tightly corked, for up to a week in a refrigerator. Pour 4 ounces of sangaree and one lemon twist for each serving into a pan over low heat. Allow to heat to just under boiling and strain into a mug. Garnish with a strip of lemon peel and some fresh grated nutmeg.
Hot Buttered Rum
1 stick unsalted butter
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
2 cups brown or raw sugar
dark or spiced rum
Cream together all ingredients except the rum with a spoon or a mixer to form the batter.
Put on a kettle and bring to a boil. Place a heaping tablespoon of the batter in a mug, add an ounce or two of the rum, and top with 2-3 ounces of hot water from the the kettle.
The Stinger
2 parts Brandy or Cognac
1 part White Creme de Menthe
Add spirits to an ice filled cocktail shaker and give it a good shake for about 20-30 seconds. Strain into an ice filled rocks glass and serve.

Episode 48: Giving Thanks in 2013 Nov 27, 2013
Show notes

Here at the S.T.E.A.M.Geeks crew, we know we're lucky and have quite a bit to be thankful for. In the spirit of the season, we reached out to our closest friends and asked them to tell us what they're thankful for this year. Here, like a turkey dinner for your ears, are the thanks of The League of S.T.E.A.M. family.
Thank YOU everyone!

Joining Nick and Glenn are: Ken Braden, James Fail and Kim Beierl of The Adventurers League of G.E.A.R.S. (YouTube); Austin Serkin and Megan Maude.

Episode 45: Nerf or Nothing! Oct 24, 2013
Show notes

We couldn't call ourselves "geeks", now, if we didn't devote an episode to discussing all things Nerf. Glenn and Nick, who are the biggest fan of Nerf in the S.T.E.A.M.Geeks crowd, are joined by fellow Nerf-a-holic James Fail, of The Adventurers League of G.E.A.R.S. Along the way they discuss all things Nerf and foam dart related.
Will we determine if it truly is "Nerf or Nothing!" ? Well, there's only one way to find out!

Show notes

Once again it's our favorite time of year. Halloween season, of course! Nick, Glenn, Russ and Andrew convene to commune with the dark powers. By dark powers, I mean breakfast cereals, and by commune I mean eat. General Mills has issued for this Halloween season the it full line of spooky sugary cereals: Fruit Brute, Yummy Mummy, Boo Berry, FrankenBerry and Count Chocula! Suitably fortified with several times the daily recommended allotment of vitamins and minerals, we tell tales of Halloweens gone by.
