The Bottle of Jim Beam that just won't Quit

I am a vodka girl. Grey Goose and tonic is my drink of choice, I'm also happy with Stoli or Absolute. Gin is good, tequila is tasty, but for the most part, I always stick with vodka. I have never been a "brown liquor" kind of girl, hence no Bourbon or Whiskey. Put a glass of Whiskey in front of me, I'm likely to sniff it, let it touch my tongue, scrunch my face up into a contorted "I think this is dukey" look and let it sit there getting warm until the bartender serves me something with vodka in it.

So in an effort to use up some of the Bourbon left over from the Salmon recipe, I incorporated it into our meal the other night. I pan fried chicken with onions, then added 1/2C oj and 2 TBL bourbon and simmered it until the liquid was gone. I also cooked 3 carrots in 1TBL honey, 1 TBL maple syrup, 2 TBL water, 1/2 TBL butter, and 1 TBL bourbon. The carrots were really good.

Next I'm thinking about bourbon bread pudding or grapenuts pudding with bourbon. Hmmm.
