I have one serving of rye that came in a little bottle attached to a big(ger) bottle of Bailey`s Irish Cream. Is this the very best thing that I can do with it.

First the "screwdriver" post, now this. You drinking away your early retirement, raptor-dude?

I prefer bourbon, but I do like me some Templeton that parents/friends bring me when they visit.

I thought this was going to be about bread. *slinks away*

Me too.  :)  I just got a free bag of rye flour.  I was hoping for some ideas of ways to use it.

Traditional rye drink was rye and ginger ale (and of course the ginger ale was Canada Dry ginger ale, at least in Canada).  Rye makes a fine homemade Bailey's, just a bit different than Bailey's made with Irish whiskey.

On the rare occasion that I drink pop, I like my ginger ale neat. But homemade rye-Bailey's is a definite possibility.
