While that is what this looks like, both comment/post histories just look like normal accounts to me.

Bro if you like any of these things then who cares? What matters is that people of all wakes of life have added their flare to pizza there are so many regional and cultural varieties of pizza it's akin to dog breeds and is something beautiful. Pizza forever.

Has anyone watched the most recent season of The Rehearsal? Nathan mentions that an episode of his previous show "Nathan for You" was taken off Paramount Plus because it had a segment where he started a fashion line where the profits would go toward holocaust education and remembrance. So even though this was a positive thing, it still brings up the holocaust and is therefore too sensitive subject to air. He then proceeds to paint Paramount Plus as literal Nazis in proceeding episodes to drive his point home. Highly recommend if you haven't seen his new show yet.

 

Walked out of a movie at the Alamo Draft House to this. Lots of people out partying after the Cubs game suddenly scrambling to get inside.

This is going to effect a lot more than those real estate platforms. Not a lot of people know that the same systems are currently being used to artificially and slowly raise the price of typically cheap produce. The best example currently being potatoes. I've certainly noticed potatoes going up in price the last few years but didn't think much of it because of all the crazy shit happening that's making lots of stuff expensive. Turns out the reason is because of price fixing on staples and now it's only going to get worse.

I was lucky enough to experience the 4 day work week for 1 glorious year. I used my extra day to schedule weekday appointments without taking time off, taking care of chores so I could enjoy the weekend more, and doing more hobbies when I wasn't doing those other 2 things. It was the best quality of life I ever had.

I was going to say, I didn't have Internet until college we still had CD-ROMs, game consoles, and of course the public library for Internet when needed. Not that these options aren't excellent free entertainment.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but the real trick to managing pests in your home, is to allow the right predator pests to exist. The best ones are spiders and centipedes. Centipedes are especially the best because they won't ever hurt you, they mostly stay out of sight, and they don't leave webs hanging around. But when you do see one you will probably freak the fuck out. You just have to remember that they eat earwigs and mites and such and try not to kill them. Spiders are also great to keep around, but there should be a big asterisk about how I live in Illinois and most spiders are harmless here.

You mean they "w" don't know.

For me it's a JewelOsco way to travel 😆

 

Mr.Brody won an Oscar time for Brodyquest!!

 

Oldie but a goodie

 

I wanted to try out the Wray & Nephew rum that @Infynis used in a previous post and I think it turned out great! It was a LOT cheaper than I expected which is always a plus!

Recipe:

  • 11/2 oz Virgin lslands Rum
  • 11/2 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 3/40z Cream Of Coconut
  • 3/40z Fresh Orange Juice
  • Fresh Grates Nutmeg Garnish
 

It's been a very long week working 10 hours days. So I'm ending it on a a sweet note with one of my favorite dessert cocktails!

Recipe:

  • 1 oz Bourbon
  • ¾ oz Mr. Coffee
  • ¾ oz demerara syrup
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ oz heavy cream (oat milk and chickpea milk work good as alternatives)
  • Nutmeg for garnish

Combine ingredients except nutmeg and dry shake (shake longer if using a milk substitute). Add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into coup glass and grate a nutmeg on top for garnish.

My personal favorite version uses barista oat milk, but I'm sure you can use whatever milk or milk alternative you like.

Gettin' too big and stretchy for its pot!

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation and I'm super happy to see that the community didn't implode! Thank you all for being respectful while I was away and making my first mod experience a good one. I'll have to find a mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣.

 

I'm back from vacation and it looks like this community died while I was away 😭. Not to worry, my husband turned into a mad scientist and decided he needed to make angostura ice cream. Is it a cocktail? Probably not, but I'll let you decide. If you want to give this a try without making homemade ice cream, you can just top some vanilla ice cream in angostura bitters and enjoy!

Thanks everyone for being respectful while I was away! I need to get a new mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣. I'll post an actual real cocktail soon.

 

This is my husband's creation and it's quite tasty! Also I'm aware that I've posted a lot of matcha cocktails lately, but I guess that's what I've been in the mood for 🤷.

Recipe:

  • 3/4 oz. St. George spiced pear liqueur
  • 2 oz. London dry gin
  • 3/4 oz. Honey syrup
  • 1 oz. Lemon juice
  • 1 Egg white
  • 1/4 tsp. Matcha powder
  • 1 Basil leaf for garnish

Combine ingredients in a shaker and dry shake for about 20 seconds. Add ice and shake until chilled, about 10 more seconds. Double strain into a glass and garnish with a basil leaf.

Out of all the recipes I've tried, this is my absolute favorite non-alcoholic recipe from the book Regarding Cocktails! It does contain angostura bitters, but you can leave those out if you want the drink to be 100% alcohol free. But even if you don't, it contains no more than kombucha would. Excellent recipe to make in large batches that you can add soda water to when ready to drink!

Recipe:

  • 1 oz. Lemon juice
  • 1 oz. Pineapple juice
  • 1 oz. Ginger syrup
  • 1 Bar spoon of maple syrup
  • A dash of angostura bitters
  • 3 oz. Soda water

Combine all but the soda water and shake vigorously with ice. Strain into a Collins glass with a spear of ice and a straw. Carefully top with soda water. (There isn't a garnish in the book, but some suggestions I like to use include mint, cucumber, lemon peel, or candied ginger).

 

This is my first focaccia made from Claire Saffitz's book Dessert Person. Here's a video with the recipe for those interested.
