A Herringbone Newsboy Cap Made Just for Cats

The herringbone wool blend Newsboy Cap created by Etsy shop CatAtelier is a rather dapper-looking fashion accessory made just for cats. A light elastic strap is attached to keep it firmly on the feline’s head.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!…

It is made of a soft black/grey herringbone wool blend in the classic newsboy shape, with a very slight slouch to the side. The brim snaps down to the crown, so it can be worn unsnapped (poufed up) if you want. There is a small herringbone cover button on top, as all proper newsboy caps will have…

In the photos, Toki Nantucket is wearing the herringbone Newsboy Cap with a black turtleneck and a striped shirt, which will be available soon in separate listings.

Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer

In 2006, Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer was created by homebrewers Tom and Athena Seefurth who wanted to create a beer that would pair with a wide variety of foods, including pizza. Using a surplus of oregano, basil, tomato and garlic, they came up with this “debris-free” pizza-flavored beer. The Seefurth Family now sells their pizza spice-filled beer online through Malloy’s Finest Wine & Spirit shop.

The Margarita pizza is put into the mash & steeped like a tea bag. A whole wheat crust made with water, flour & yeast is topped with tomato, oregano, basil & garlic. The essence of the pizza spices is washed off with hot water and filtered into a brewpot, where it is boiled for a long, long time. During the process, we add hops & spices in a cheesecloth type bag & filter the cooled liquid into a fermentation vessel. (big glass 6 gallon water jug). After a week or two, the beer is good to go. Keg it or bottle it.
