MOP's BOURBON BRUNCH with Graham McTavish and McTavish Spirits!

My Outlander Purgatory Presents a Bourbon Brunch with Graham McTavish and McTavish Spirits!! Join MOP’s Carol and Tracey and their VERY SPECIAL GUEST, Outlander’s own Dougal McKenzie, Graham McTavish!!! We discuss Graham’s newest venture, McTavish Spirits, and its first offering, the Warchief—a 7 year bottled-in-bond bourbon whiskey that receives big thumbs up from both the MOP lasses. Graham explains what led a Scot to want to make Kentucky-style bourbon, schools us in what makes bourbon unique, and gives some drinking tips to bourbon novices (like us!). And we wouldn’t let him get away without a little Outlander talk….what’s in store for season 7, saying goodbye to Outlander, PLUS a possible season 3 of Men in Kilts??? 🙏🙏🙏  But that’s not all—the MOP ladies walk you through the fixing for a holiday bourbon-based cocktail, run down what they’ve been up to during Droughtlander, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

SPECIAL OFFER FOR MOP FANS: 10 percent off the Warchief and McTavish merch!! Just visit mctavishspirits.com and enter the code PURGATORY at checkout!

Droughtlander Diversions: The ECHO FILES!

Wassssupppp??? We're WELL into DROUGHTLANDER season 😭while waiting for Season 7 Part Deux...so why not take a walk down MOP MEMORY LANE with some videos from our An Echo in the Bone reads?!? Enjoy! 

Remember Paoli 💔

...the Most Dreadful Scene I Ever beheld.

A British officer reported his impressions:

[General Grey] came to the head of the battalion and cried out "Dash on, light infantry!" and, without saying a word, the whole battalion dashed into the wood, and guided by the straggling fire of the picket, that was followed close up, we entered the camp and gave such a cheer as made the wood echo. The enemy were completely surprised; some with arms, others without, running in all directions in the greatest confusion. The light infantry bayoneted every man they came up with. The camp was immediately set on fire, and this, with the cries of the wounded formed altogether one of the most dreadful scene I ever beheld. Every man that fired was instantly put to death.

Remember Paoli 💔

My first visit to the Paoli Battlefield, despite having grown up in Paoli! 🤦‍♀️

Much Thanks to Herself, Diana Gabaldon for remembering Paoli. ❤️

Join us as we break down every moment, including the HUGE NEWS that WE’RE GOING BACK TO SCOTLAND and all the deets on how YOU can join us; why Claire’s level of bad assery in rescuing Jamie was top three of the series; why Jamie’s reference to cutting off his finger actually had a purpose (and why Carol loved this whole scene); what Bree has in common with Peg Bundy; why Roger and Buck are the superheroes of time travel we never knew we needed; whether or not they maybe should have given the whole rescue thing a few more minutes of planning; why Rob Cameron should just rob a bank if he’s so hard up for cash; why Rollo got off easy for eating the goose grease; why we are worrit about Ian and Rachel (and it doesn’t have to do with danger); how Pee Wee Herman (RIP Paul Reubens 😢) helps us try to get at the Ian Problem (let us know in the comments if you agree there’s a problem or if you think we’re off our rocker!); why Nice Guy Benedict Arnold threw Claire; why Sam must have been super happy about that Morgan back performance; why the Emmys should have a best adapted teleplay category because the Outlander writers would sweep; why we’re confused about terms of surrender for a battle (and why William can’t just sneak to another regiment); why the civility of a Redcoat coming into the rebel camp is very impressive; why we LOVEDLOVEDLOVED the Fraser cousins and their entire scene (RIP Angus the Bruce); how Jamie and Simon represented the division that so many families went through at that time; how Granny Gates really had to twist Jamie’s arm to get him to take Angus the Bruce back to Scotland; how Rachel made us SOOOOO happy (cause we’re heading to Valley Forge in the back half of season 7!); why Sophie gets a slow golf clap for the goodbye scene; the reappearance of ARCH BUG!!; why those sweeping shots of the ships on the water are EVERYTHING; why Outlander doesn’t get better than the last minute of the episode, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

We Interrupt This Outlander Blog...

SPECIAL NOTICE: Our recap of episode 707, "A Practical Guide for Time-Travelers," will be delayed--vacations schedules are messing with our recording time, unforch.

MOP VIDEO: Episode 706 "Where the Waters Meet"

For those of you who prefer to skip over our opening banter, the actual recapping begins at 15:44.

Outlander “Where the Waters Meet” Season 7 Episode 706 recap! My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the latest episode of Season 7 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment, including why we’re called My Outlander PURGATORY in the first place; how the SAG/AFTRA/WGA strike might affect season 8; Carol’s revelation about Sinead’s version of the Outlander theme music; why Angus the Bruce (aka Angus Macfadyen) showing up as Simon Fraser was Carol’s favorite thing EVER; why we’re surprised Jamie’s “I’ll carry them” offer didn’t receive more offers; why Jamie made some questionable decisions in the woods; why we are DIGGING hot ‘80s Roger; how Jamie managed to throw an ax at redcoats without killing his own son (and why Ian with an ax later is giving Karate Kid vibes); why Show Ian is basically Jamie Jr. by now and maybe that’s a bit of a problem; why herbs heal all maladies on Outlander; why Richardson has the 18th century equivalent of the corner office (and why you might want to add Richardson to your bingo card); why spitting up movie/TV blood is a sure sign that your character is a goner; why Claire not recognizing William is a bit of a head scratcher; why the courtly William bows make Tracey weak in the knees; why we are ashamed for not noticing Bree and Roger’s fully stocked bar last week; why we are relying on Y’ALL to explain the ley line business; why Jamie must think that all this Claire rescuing is getting super old by now; why it’s surprising that Ian let someone else touch his bow; why Roger teaching the wee ones a Gaelic song put a little tear in our eye; why Claire should have just given poor Walter the full flask; why the Roger and Rob Cameron scene was like a good game of pickleball; why Ian needs to play it a little more cool when he's trying to rescue someone; why we are forgetting everything by the end of this video (we it's like midnight by this point); why we can’t be onboard with a makeout sesh that involves unbrushed teeth; why if we’re Rachel we’re Team William at this point; why we did not get why Daniel Morgan was wearing something the Bob Mackie of the 18th century designed; why we STILL hold a grudge about Jamie not wanting to know about Claire in the reunion episode from season 3; who the mystery man Roger catches might be, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the latest episode of Season 7 of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment, including why this was a rather over the top episode (and why we’re glad it wasn’t the first episode of season 7); why Bree and Roger should turn the trailer into a garage bar; why we weren’t sure what the Easter egg was all about even though it’s probably obvious (tell us what you think!); why it might have been Bree’s time of the month during this episode; why we’re worrit about Jem; why we’re split on whether we’d race to the history books (like Roger) or back the hell off (like Bree); why Jamie and Claire are the only people with sense in the entire American Revolution (or at least at Fort Ticonderoga); Jamie’s irregularity; why we’re trying to ignore certain accents; why history dictates that General Pepe Le Pew not be around; why Pepe’s over the top-ness is a little much; why the Ninth Earl of Elsemere would never eat a rat; who Rachel should choose (you tell us!); why hard hats and going commando on the first day of a new job is not where WE’D go, but whatever; how Tracey’s yearbook PROVES that Bree needs a new 1980 hairstyle; how Bree buried the lead re: her first day at work; why “personal reasons” isn’t an excuse when it comes to the military; why everyone at Ticonderoga needs to learn how to say FRAY-zer; why the Hunter casting is *chef’s kiss*; the significance of Swiftest of Lizards and his new name; why you should go back and read MOP blog posts from when we were reading the books; why we’re shocked that ANYONE is getting the belt in school in 1980; how Mrs. Raven’s freakout channeled both “Airplane” and Jan Brady; why Denzel Hunter just might be from 1980; how Dr. Pompous and General Pepe LePew serve the same purpose; Eff, Marry, Kill: Rachel Edition; why Roger would make a good therapist; why a pen is NEVER a good gift for your wife (despite what Bree thinks); how General St. Clair took his sweet time showing up (maybe he was napping); the return of BOSS BITCH BREE; how MOP Tom would have LOVED the Inverness pub ❤️ 🍺; how leaving the wounded behind in Ft. Ticonderoga was so Titanic; why the fade to black was so great; and MUCH MUCH MORE!!

Come See What's New in the MOP SHOP, Y'all!

 

Outlander Season 7 Preview—MOP Chicks Break It Down!

Happy Birthday MOP TRACEY!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Bring on Season 7!

Alright, y'all. A new year, a new season of Outlander. (In life, all roads lead to Outlander. Remember that.) 

Admittedly, I'm no a giant fan of US Weekly's ads that pop up in my face when I'm trying to ogle Sam Heughan. But hey, they gotta pay the bills, and this article by Nicole Massabrook is pretty thorough in updating what we can expect in Season 7 of Outlander, premiering this summer! Also have to give Nicole a wee shoutout because she went to Monmouth University, an amazing institution of higher learning. (My own Wee Ian refuses to apply there because it's practically in our back yard and my-man wants to spread his wings a little.) More than a few of us know why Monmouth might be topical in an Outlander post. The rest of you who haven't read the series? You'll have to keep watching, my friends. Lordddddddd keep watching. 

“America really is in sort of turmoil. There’s revolution, and Jamie and Claire are separated,” the Waypoints author teased. “There’s also the prophecy of Jamie and Claire’s death, you know, that they’re supposed to die in a fire. There’s just so much going on.” ~Sam Heughan for US 

As you may or may not know, depending on how long you've been visiting MOP, all roads ALSO lead to the American Revolution...so you can imagine how stoked I am to get this show on the road. Since things started heading toward "Give me liberty or give me death", I've been waiting for this season with bated breath! Why? Umm...REMEMBER PAOLI!

If I'm honest, I'm hoping the writers/producers/directors are fans of TURN: Washington's Spies...because they did it RIGHT. Every...single...second of that series is gold. GOLD!!! (And the reason I cried at John Andre's sarcophagus at Westminster...but that's a different conversation!!) 

Another series that will get you jonesing for Revolutionary War times is Poldark. (Say it soft and it's almost like pray-ing.) le sigh...BOY do I miss Aidan Turner's bare chest. LOL I'm kindof kidding; I'm more into the courtroom scenes when Ross PolDARK is yelling at everyone before going to a hot dinner made by Demelza who, oddly enough, is probably still wearing something resembling rags.

At any rate...I wanted to let you know how excited we are for this summer, and not just because it's margarita season. I also wanted to let you know that Tracey and I will be making a video sooner rather than later...just to catch up, discuss our theories/hopes for the upcoming season, and share some altogether merriness for the new year with you fine people whom we miss so much. ❤️

JE SUIS PREST! 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from MOP!

 From our homes to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy and Healthy New Year from My Outlander Purgatory! (And of course, Pocket Jamie!)

MOP VIDEO: "I Am Not Alone" Episode 608

Outlander “I Am Not Alone” Season 6 Episode 608 FINALE RECAP! My Outlander Purgatory's Carol and Tracey are back to recap the Season 6 finale of Outlander, the Starz series based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series. Join us as we break down every moment, including why our drinks are boring AF; why jet lag hits you harder the older you get; all the fun we had on our MOP Goes to Scotland trip (include the Highland Malt Whisky Experience at McGregor’s Pub in Inverness, the Dunrobin Castle in Sutherland; Hopetoun House near Edinburgh; a swordfighting demonstration from Paul MacDonald and Grant McGregor; dancing around the stones at Clava Cairns, and a special performance from Season 1’s Bard, Gillebride MacMillan); how it’s hard to believe that the same person directed this episode AND the last one; why the Easter egg scene got us all jonesing for a Jersey diner breakfast; WTH Jamie and Claire are doing with an arsenal of guns (and why they don’t have a hidey hole); why Claire was more badass than we’ve seen her all season; why they should consider blowing out the candles before they flip a table they are on; how Richard Brown would have found out that Marsali killed his brother; where the hell Bree and Roger got that two-room tent (and how they put it up); why we think that some of this episode was better read than seen; why Roger was the hottest thing in this episode; how we can still recite the Act of Contrition; why it’s crazy that Jamie and Claire are putting up with all this shit; why we found it hard to believe that Claire would care about anyone’s wounds at this point; why Tracey is obsessed with Titanic, what Richard Brown’s true motivations really are; how Bree was able to keep from tossing lice-infested Jem off the wagon and away from her long flowing locks (and how they managed to remember the Breedal Sassoon scissors); how Wagon Jamie and Claire harkened back to the J/C of yore; IAN IAN IAN; who else besides Claire we might know rotting away in a Wilmington jail cell; the awesomeness that were those final moments; and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!

MOP VIDEO Recap: The World Turned Upside Down" Episode 606

RIP (or not) Lord Lovat; Simon "The Fox" Fraser

Photo Credit: Wikipedia 

It was on this day, April 9th, 1747 that the real life Simon Fraser aka Lord Lovat aka Jamie Fraser's wicked grandda...was the last person to be beheaded in the UK, due to his participation in the Jacobite Uprising of 1743. 

Photo credit: John Morris on flickr

Apparently there was a giant crowd at the execution and a "timber stand" collapsed (a scaffolding, built to hold spectators), killing 9 people. Fraser laughed as he thought this was amusing, thus creating the phrase "laughing your head off." 

Photo Credit: The Crown Cronicles

Simon Fraser was thought to have been buried at the  Wardlaw Mausoleum, Kirkhill, Inverness.  
However in 2018, the crypt was opened and the coffin was exhumed. What did they find? The remains of a woman. They now believe he was never the Tower of London and may be buried somewhere on site.

Herself is FINISHED!

SPOILER WARNING!! 

The following contains SPOILERS about Diana Gabaldon's OUTLANDER series!

Dear reader,  People always ask me, “What’s your favorite novel in the Outlander series?” And the answer is always the same: “The one I’m working on.” Now that Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone is finished—it’s still my favorite. When a new book comes out, I’m always in love with it; when I get the finished book, hot off the presses, all pristine and new with a lovely cover, I want to read it right away. I carry it around the house with me and take it on errands, fondling it at stoplights. I don’t expect every reader to feel it quite so intensely, but I do hope that you all share my joy in the new book and will spend many happy hours with me in its pages! —Diana Gabaldon

The past may seem the safest place to be . . .  but it is the most dangerous time to be alive.

Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone will release on November 23 but is available for preorder now! Preorder Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone Penguin Random House ▸

About the Book

Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1743 and it took them twenty years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible.  Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s tea-kettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split and it won’t be long until the war is on his doorstep. Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the twentieth century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s—among them disease, starvation, and an impending war—was indeed the safer choice for their family. Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father’s identity—and thus his own—and Lord John Grey has reconciliations to make, and dangers to meet . . . on his son’s behalf, and his own.  Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. And with the family finally together, Jamie and Claire have more at stake than ever before. READ MORE »
