Queer up! Worst show on television!

I was going to take this opportunity to plug one of the vexillology circle jerk communities, but they both seem pretty dead. So I'll just enjoy this cool rat flag and be on my way.

This is why it would be hard for me to make a fruit tier list. I think you need to have 2 lists, a list for each fruit at mid and a list for each fruit at its best. For example, I tend to eat apples, strawberries, or grapefruits pretty regularly even when they are not at their best because I still enjoy them at mid so in my mind they would be top of the mid list. But something like a peach or a pineapple will be at the top of the other list even though I probably won't eat them at mid. I have a simple rule for peaches which is if I am in the store and I can smell them, I have to buy them. Works every time and I get damn good peaches that way. I've always wanted to try a fresh peach off a tree and I imagine it's like fruit heroin.

See... You have to get into the mind of a straight man from the 1950s and ask yourself one of 2 questions: Is this a woman's thing? Or would I fuck this thing? Cars are considered "beautiful" and "sexy" and therefore fuckable by a man. I hope this has been a good lesson in outrageous sexism.

I try to get this song played at every wedding I go to. Some DJs are skeptical and reluctantly put it on and are then surprised when everyone gets up to dance.

There is an excellent album by Cheekface called "It's Sorted" that talks about all kinds of mundane modern problems. They sound sort of like Cake with a comedic element.

This already exists!!! I typically can find them at gas stations and airports.

Thanks for the suggestion!

My friends and I started an "Indie Game Club" which is similar to a book club but for indie video games. It's really helped to branch out and try new things that I wouldn't usually try. And of course, if you finish the game fast enough, you can get back to the one game you have 10000+ hours in. But I'd say probably 1/3 of the games we've played I liked so much that I didn't want to stop playing and go back to my usual and used the whole time to just keep playing. It's been an excellent experience!

I'm watching The Chair Company which is Tim Robinson's latest show. I can't recommend it to everyone, but if you're into his style of comedy, you'll love this show. It's framed as a serious mystery drama, but there's so many rediculous jokes sprinkled in I can't help but laugh in spite the serious tone.

I always return my cart rain or shine no matter how far away the return is. But there was one time I didn't when I moved to a new neighborhood and went to the local grocer for the first time. This particular store shared a parking lot with a hardware store. I parked in a spot I thought was on the grocery store side of the lot, but I guess not? I bring my cart out and I'm almost to my car when suddenly the wheels lock up and I can't move the cart anymore. turns out they have a system in their carts to prevent people from stealing them. But I guess the zone for that is up to interpretation because I really feel like I was parked on the grocery side of the lot even if off to the side a bit. I ended up leaving the cart and just walked my groceries to my car. I blame the store for not properly marking the zone or improperly setting it in the first place. Not much I could do about it otherwise.

 

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.

 

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.
