I’d bet she would. Adding it to my to-try list, thanks!

We made tepache last summer and it was fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried it. I wanted to try bottling it but got too scared from all the explosion stories online.

My brother in law makes mead and he’s had a couple explosions. And once he gifted us a bottle that we didn’t drink for a while and when we opened it it rocketed everywhere. Only had about an inch left in the bottle afterword haha.

Martinez sounds cool!!

I made a Black Manhattan and yeah it’ll be my new Manhattan go-to for sure. Super good.

Tried Mezcal for the first time yesterday and am a big fan so I’ll have to try a Dead Lady soon, currently don’t own Falernum though

Sounds like really cool modifications! Sometimes I wish I wasn’t such a lightweight so I could experiment faster…

I really liked my Old Fashioned last night, I mentioned in the high-scores edit to my original post that next time I’ll try diluting more and I probably won’t use sugar cubes moving forward (simple syrup instead).

The Monkey Gland was good too! But see above for why I probably won’t make it again 😜 The history just makes my nethers tingle in a bad way.

The Teresa was a great suggestion for me! Crazy how close it is to a Negroni even though it kinda comes from a different direction

Alcohol destroys my sleep so I usually only drink Friday and Saturdays, but the fun of making drinks has made me want to get really good at mocktails. Sometimes I make a good one, but it’s kinda hard to not just end up with super sweet juice…

But I always drink my water without ice. No judgement on ice people, but to me water is for hydration and ice just slows you down. /s

I tried a basic recipe first and it was great! Super excited to riff on this drink. My wife loves St. Germaine so that’ll be fun to try. I put this drink pretty high on my high-scores list that I edited at the bottom of my original post

My friend, I loved this cocktail and will be enjoying them the rest of my life. Hadn’t had mezcal until today and I really liked it. Wife is a big fan too. Thanks!!

This is the recipe I tried and it was excellent!

Probably depends on local air quality and how recently the snow fell. But I and everyone I know eats snow so I hope so…

Thanks for the suggestions! Added to my to-try list. And yeah life’s been great leaving that church. I’m still trying to accept that Sundays are fun now and nothing to dread on Saturday evenings 😅

And my best 3x3 solve was 18.83 seconds. But my average is closer to 24 seconds, that solve was just kinda a lucky one!

Oooh, haven’t heard it called the Twice Up, but here in Montana the Whiskey Ditch is popular which is just whiskey and water. In winter we use snow and I definitely like snow/cold water with mine. I guess people here used to use actual ditch water which I kind of love and will never try

Looks like a great book for me, just ordered a copy!

Are we that degenerate already??

Since I’m dramatic I burned a bunch of things my ex gave me in my parents’ backyard. Years later I noticed my brother had a metal necklace with some discoloration. It was one I burned lol. I felt too weird to tell him.

Today I’m experimenting with Ansible. Wanna try setting up a Docker hosted RSS reader with it. Hopefully will write up controls for my whole Docker server with Ansible once I’m more familiar.

The hot dogs I’ve been eating all my life didn’t even make the list…

As a teen, I once went to open the microwave but the handle wasn’t attached, it just lifted off. I think one of my siblings broke it and then placed it back carefully. Half my family was in the room when I lifted the handle off and to this day they don’t believe me that it offered 0 resistance and that someone else might have broken it. We kept that microwave for years after that and just had to pry it open with finger nails.

I didn’t figure it out… Haven’t gone back to visit. But the water definitely could be part of the issue - it’s well water that’s super high in Sulfer so it smells like a hot springs. I didn’t really notice the smell unless I was showering. But I didn’t consider what it’d do to the coffee!

Thanks! No Asian markets in my town… Don’t love being so reliant on Amazon 🙃 Anyway, I looked up the Korean morning coffee and I guess it has an egg yolk, pinch of salt, pine nuts, and a couple drops of sesame oil. And you either leave the yolk intact and have it like a prairie oyster at the end of your cup, or you stir it in as a kind of creamer. I don’t have pine nuts, but I tried both methods without them this morning - prairie oysters are not my favorite… And then you have an egg aftertaste instead of a coffee one. Mixing the egg made the drink very rich, which made me imagine strong chocolate notes. Feels a lot like breakfast in a cup, which I think is by design. Probably adds a good amount of nutrition. But I don’t think it improves upon plain black coffee. Kinda just a different drink. Fun to try, I’ll try it again after I pick up some pine nuts.

I’m excited for the Vietnamese egg coffe - I watched a couple videos and it looks super fun
