Sub in a Minkoff and a Lion Heart for those jerry cans, sharpen your shovel, and we're ready for Capetown on Acid!

Ah. The old spunk in the crock pot trick, eh? Bummer.

Archie Shepp -- Kwanza

How about chocolate covered curry bacon?

All true, but Dan (I think) and I (I'm sure) were noting that Dusty doesn't seem to leave the crock pot going when he leaves home, which is one of the key features.

Hey Shelly, I used to drink vodka pretty often for awhile there and I usually bought Ketel One, Chopin or some obscure potato vodka. Right now, I would either buy Chopin (potato) or get a Charbay flavored vodka like the Meyer lemon, pomegranate, red grapefruit or blood orange. They are flavored with real fruit, as they explain here: http://www.charbay.com/VODKAS.aspx I actually think that she would love many of your gin cocktails and may even learn that she doesn't have to limit herself...just sayin'. As for vodka cocktails, the vodka tonic is obvious, but tasty, but here are some real cocktails to consider: Triomphe Cocktail 1 1/2 oz Vodka 3/4 oz Lemon Juice 1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse 1/2 oz 1-1 Simple Syrup Shake well with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon peel. Yokohama Cocktail 1 Dash Absinthe 1/6 Grenadine 1/6 Vodka. (1/2 oz Awamori) 1/3 Orange Juice 1/3 Dry Gin Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. [she'll never know she's drinking gin unless you tell her! You could also just double the vodka] Madras Cocktail 1 1/2 oz vodka 3 oz cranberry juice 1 oz orange juice 1 lime wedge Pour all ingredients (except lime wedge) into a highball glass over ice. Add the lime wedge and serve. Cape Codder 2 ounces vodka 2 or 3 ounces cranberry juice cocktail 1/2 ounce lime juice club soda Glass Type: Collins glass Instructions Pour vodka (or white rum) into a Collins glass, add cranberry juice cocktail, the juice of half a lime (some leave this out,) and a couple of ice cubes. Top off with club soda or seltzer (some leave this out, too, doubling the cranberry; we don't). Garnish, if you wish, with a slice of lime and/or a sprig of mint. Madras Cocktail Mix 2 ounces vodka and 2 ounces OJ in a Collins glass, slip in a couple of ice cubes, and float 2 ounces of cranberry juice; serve with a stirrer and, if you wish, a wedge of lime (people like something to play with). Moscow Mule1/2 ounce lime juice 2 ounces vodka 4 to 6 ounces ginger beer Mike Romanoff [*]2 ounces vodka [*]1 teaspoon Cointreau [*]1 teaspoon apricot liqueur [*]1 ounce lime juice [*]2 dashes bitters

Not to pile on, but that was what I was thinking too. Aren't they made for turning on in the morning, leaving the house, and then returning home to slow cooked foodstuffs?

Came to City Beer to get a beer for IPA Day on the way to a firm event and they were unaware of the new holiday. I had a Palo Alto Brewing Rye IPA to celebrate anyway. Now quaffing a Canadian Berliner Weiss by Hopfenstark. Nice and tart.

Nothing wrong with that!

Sorry man, getting hacked sucks.

Nice Mike! How was the drunken cherry?

^This. And I am a little sleepy, too.

Turtles fucking rock.

One of my partners just moved half of his 401K into some kind of zero interest bond thing to avoid the big dip. Might be a smart idea (might have been even smarter last week).

The Lucky Thompson Quartet -- Lucky Strikes

What the fuck is wrong with that place?! You had better start a brewery and bring in Duggeh to help.

The dreaded cunt punch! I have only seen this in girl on girl violence such as Kill Bill, but the close-up on a man punching a woman seems moar extreme (especially with the close-up)!

Had a sudden urge to hear this: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds -- Dig, Lazarus, Dig! Prolix! Prolix!

The recipe calls for anejo and I think it would be good.

Nice gets Ric!

Bacontastic!

August 27 or 28 late enough?

Martilla Adapted from a recipe by Bas Verhoeven, Door 74, Amsterdam. 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila 1 ounce dry vermouth 3 teaspoons maraschino liqueur 1 lemon twist, as garnish Instructions: Put the lemon zest in a mixing glass and fill it with cubed ice. Add the remaining ingredients and stir for 10 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add the garnish. Doubled the recipe so I could start watching The Trip, but used Reposado instead of Anejo. Very interesting. Tequila flavor comes through but a bit sweet and lemony. One of the better uses of Maraschino, I would say.

Kitchen is looking good KG.

Ain't Kaki grand?
