In preparation for the End of Days

ksmith...I am now the proud owner of a Red Cross-approved self-powered hand-crank radio, which came as part of a pledge premium. Now I can be assured of picking up that last signal until it dwindles away...
On a cheerier note, I dug a piece of flank steak out of the deep freeze and will be prepping it tomorrowwith a whisky marinade. I say whisky instead of bourbon because I have Canadian Club on hand. I've had it on hand for years now because I'm not much for the hard liquor, and I need to start using it up. And so I will, a quarter cup at a time.
For some reason, I feel as though I've been hit by a truck. I think we'll be popping the vitamin I in a few minutes. Then will come grocery shopping. Laundry. The usual Saturday excitement. I would work outside, but there's a chance of rain later, so we'll see. I may wait until tomorrow, when it's supposed to be sunny.
Over the past week, I have found the bodies of a young bird and a mouse in the backyard. There are a number of feral cats in the neighborhood, but I would think that they'd have eaten things like this. IOW, I have my suspicions about a certain innocent-looking pup, who is currently on the couch beside me, napping.

I use bourbon in my crisp. Makes it strangely popular.

Do you add more than the usual 1-3 tablespoons? Any particular fave recipes?
That apple bread I made last week...a shot of whisky would have been nice, I think.
