3 World Baseball Classic games on the TV while I drink a cocktail and snack on Old Bay peanuts
In retrospect, building a bar in my basement was one of the better decisions of my life
There was some extensive cleanup, but my mom still lives in that house. I think the oil truck realized their mistake relatively quickly, so they didn't dump a whole tankful on us. Probably helps that it was and 1870s rowhouse and that part of the basement was pretty unfinished.
When I was a kid, my parents had our oil heat replaced with natural gas, and the oil tank in our basement removed. Our neighbors still had oil heat. One morning, we woke up to an overwhelming toxic smell and the basement storage room covered in fuel oil.
Probably time to switch over to that one now. Raining in San Juan.
Hell yes
Panama/Puerto Rico has been a fun game so far (and Edmundo Sosa is up right now)
It's so important! But clients for some reason think their ads are more valuable to their bottom line than my playtesting.
The more raw version recorded for Tim is so so good too
My account from last year still seems to be working somehow. Just in case you haven't already tried logging in.
Since this post I've shifted my standard ratio to 2½:¼:¼ but even at this ratio it's still pretty delicious www.instagram.com/p/DP5IHXKDeQs
I agree, Armagnac makes a great Stinger!
I've been using a split of both. I like the added complexity of the Branca Menta, but I want more clean mint than it provides on its own. Giffard Menthe-pastille is what I've been using, so no green in mine either.
Cosmi's Cutlet Hoagie 4 Life
I live in South Philly 3 blocks from the Pat's/Geno's intersection. Or as we locals call it, "Little California"
I thought California invented the cheese steak
I hope @garlicbuffalo.gobirds.biz is okay tonight
Taryn is gone?
Also true of the dudes from my middle school who went on to form Yeasayer
But flagon with the dragon or dragon with the flagon?
It's wild that it only aired for 3 months, because I could still sing you the theme song right now even though I haven't seen it since
Two Martinis in coupes
The bottles of ingredients for the cocktail
What a week. Time for some Martinis 🍸
3 oz Ford's gin
½ oz Cocchi Extra Dry
½ oz Gonzalez Bypass Amontillado
2 ds bergamot mango bitters
grapefruit twist
We just finished rewatching S1 last night to get ready
Perfect album, no notes
Everybody has three mortgages nowadays
Pistols only, license to kill, no Odd Job
Went out, poked the ice with my toe, sprinkled on some pet-safe ice melt and went back inside. That'll need to soak for a while.

You made me want to revisit this (at least to verify the ratios I quoted). I think when I landed on this ratio, I was using a mix of rye and brandy. But this is working well with just rye. See picture for the bottles I used.
Yeah. I'm not great with names. Based on the components, "Zappa" could be in there, but I actually don't know enough of his music to think of something clever.
Still toying with ratios, but I've found that Zucca and apricot liqueur are a promising combination. Rye (or rye + brandy) as the base. I think most recently I was at something like 2½:¾:½ spirit:Zucca:apricot; stirred, on a rock, orange twist.
I will die as I lived (mouth full of egg yolks)
