The food insects newsletter I found easy to read and kinda funny.
Probably a good quiche, with apple a close second.
I made a pie this Thanksgiving that was based on the Whole Foods $60 holiday pie, that was cranberry compote on the bottom, brown butter almond frangipani in the middle, and topped with sliced apples in a glaze of apricot. This i would make again but with more cranberry, and I can wholeheartedly recommend apricot jam & a splash of apricot liqueur in apple pie, the apple layer was so delicious.
Or their dying screams, I don't know, but the sound is the way I know it's time to bottle it.
No. A priest, sure. They should only offer religious marriage to those who conform to the religion, whatever it is.
State licensing of the relationship, if offered at all, needs to be offered without discrimination. That is separation of church and state. An official of the state must officiate according to the law, not their own personal beliefs.
I would tell my husband he was right, and would be very surprised.
But it would have to be the actual aliens making the announcement for me to believe it.
Wow, I can do this too! I thought it was just a human thing, like being able to evenly split something in half or hang something on the wall level without a level.

I do drive, but also walk a lot and yes, I hit the hood of the car if crossing the street and someone starts to turn without looking the way they are going. Smack the hood, they stop, I cross. Can't even count the number of times I've done that.
As far as dealing with the anger, I would say your response was appropriate and it's much better you didn't smash her mirror.
I would hate this superpower. Having grown up with brothers, I learned to breathe defensively without smelling, but it's also so nice to be able to use scented products and perfume without it hurting.
Yeah I can't. I think in words, in English, very occasionally Spanish, but always language, words words words.
A person again, female again, in a developed country again. I would do this again. Please.
Not much to look at but tastes good.
1 oz whiskey (bourbon is all I had but I would try with Scotch)
1oz Mezcal
1/2 oz Ancho Reyes
3/4 oz Cynar
1 oz lemon, 1 oz honey syrup
It's quite good, I found the original on Mixel app, it seems they scraped it from Reddit? Original omits the whiskey, halfs the lemon and sweetener. But even with the additions I taste mostly mezcal and Ancho. Bitter in a good way.
A boozy Saturday drink.
2oz bourbon
.75oz good mezcal
.75oz berry liqueur (any will work, or berry syrup, I used Montbisu Framboise)
Bare splash of vanilla liqueur, shake of bitters, or splash of absinthe or amaro (I used the vanilla, if you have a more interesting berry liqueur it might not need anything here but mine is not complex)
2 dropperful of fire tincture
4 strawberries plus one for garnish
1/2 tsp sugar (might not need if you have better strawberries)
3/4 of a lemon
Quarter the strawberries and put in shaker with 1/4 if the lemon, add the sugar and muddle the fruit. Add the booze, tincture, and juice of the half a lemon. Shake with ice and double strain, serve over big ice, garnish with the remaining strawberry.
It's very good, I like bourbon with mezcal and like bourbon with strawberry so thought it worth trying. Lemon peel muddled adds bitter edge, don't omit.
I was trying to make a strawberry heart but it came out more like wings!
I am really sorry I didn't get a picture of the finished drink, too dark but it's gorgeous. I don't like the gin I have and thought vodka and mastiha would be more to my taste so:
1.5 oz vodka
2 oz adjusted grapefruit juice (juiced one sweet pink grapefruit and one lime, mixed, then measured 2 oz of the mix)
1/2 oz each of the St. Germain, the Campari, and the Mastiha.
Shaken, poured what fit into a coupe and drank the rest from the shaker, it's delicious and the dark pink with foam is really beautiful.
2oz tequila
Juice of one lime
Grapefruit Jarritos
Stirred and poured.
A simple Sunday drink. If you have followed this community you probably know I am a big fan of bourbon and fruit mixtures. This is:
2oz bourbon (Evan Williams bottled-in-bond)
1 oz St Germain
1 oz Aperol
1.5 oz fresh lemon juice
1.5 oz bottled mango passion fruit juice
Shaken then a splash of Topo Chico, dirty pour into pint glass.
This one is, oddly, a little too muted in flavor. Not sure what it needs, but some adjustment. Maybe just a more assertive tequila, the Ocho Plato is so smooth, I love it but it doesn't stand up to strong flavors, or maybe it just needs a little more bitterness, shake the lime peels in with the rest of it.
2 oz tequila blanco
1/2 oz each of orange liqueur, Ancho Reyes Verde, green chartreuse, mezcal (the good one. The Chipicapa is so delicious you can just mix it with tequila or whiskey and sip it)
Juice of one lime.
I am having another split base version of one of my standards:
1 oz cognac
1 oz bourbon
1 oz Heirloom Pineapple Amaro
1 oz Giffard Abricot
1.5 oz fresh lemon juice
Shake shake shake and strain over ice.
I am not one of these overstressed working women now because:
My kids are older (youngest is still in high school, one in college, the rest adult now)
My husband does as much around the house as I do, including what is referred to as the "mental load", he was a single dad before we got together.
That's it. When my kids were younger and their dad didn't do as much, yeah I was stressed. It's stressful.
My job is demanding but somewhat flexible too, that does help, but mostly its because no little kids and a husband who doesn't think all the kid and house stuff is my job.
