I make home-fermented ginger beer and no shit, Lemmy Shitposters, I can tell when it's done by listening to it, it hisses. My husband laughs at me because I will lean down with my ear to the pitcher, but it's the easiest way to tell.
An Eclipse. Definitely my kind of drink.
2oz Tequila
3/4oz Aperol
3/4oz Cherry Heering
3/4oz lemon
Mezcal rinse
Put mezcal in a coupe and park it in the freezer.
Measure everything else & shake with ice; retrieve the coupe and decide there is no way you are gonna pour any mezcal down the drain. Swirl and leave it all in there. Pour drink into glass.
Pregnancy can accelerate some sorts of cancer too - it's obviously your/her call but I would be very worried about the potential harm to your wife, more than the risk of infertility. ( ETA: I know not one, but two single fathers who lost their wives because of cancer that accelerated during pregnancy and the women would not abort to get treated and died soon after giving birth.)
Sorry you are going through this, and I hope it's resolved easily and your fears are not realized.
I saw them before they exploded into fame, and absolutely couldn't imagine that music becoming popular. There were like 30 people at the show, they were touring in a little van, all the way to Florida! My little brother's friend had given me a tape with a bunch of grunge bands on it, Tad and Mudhoney and Nirvana among them so when they came to play here I went.
Was absolutely dumbfounded when they started getting radio play, it was so different from everything else being played on the radio.
I think I'm probably older than most of you - it's hard to overstate how weird and countercultural this music sounded before it became the norm.
Anytime we get a duck I spend a long time skinning it and rendering the fat, because holy crap it is so good, and the de-fatted duck meat is easier to work with anyway. I do also render lard if we have pig, and other than that keep butter, olive oil and avocado oil on hand. Not really for health, any of that, it's to have good food but I do think less processed is likely healthier.
Chicken fat, schmaltz, is good for cooking too - put 4 salted, skin on, bone in chicken thighs in a cold iron skillet skin side down, turn on the stove and let them cook until the skin is brown, flip and finish, remove, then into the hot pan chopped greens, saute them in the chicken fat with a little white wine, so good.
Beef tallow is not delicious, though. It just doesn't taste good.
The new Michael Kiwanuka album, Small Changes. Also Florence and the Machine because my kids have been listening to her stuff.
When I split from my ex, who had become abusive, my second to oldest daughter said she wouldn't even go to his funeral if he died.
It's been ten years, and in the intervening time, he's quit drinking and become more reasonable, and she will talk to him occasionally.
So my question is, do you have reason to think he's changed? If not, I'd say change your phone number or block him. But people can change. If you think he's changed, then yes it might be good for both of you.
I love them, they are so engaging and the different cultures are distinct in understandable ways, the plot hangs together, they are good books. Not like hard sci fi but effortless placement of a dramatic story in a different universe.
If I can have anything, I want to explode into a bunch of butterflies.
If only real options are available, I am hoping composting is legal by then. Just be turned back into dirt and plants.
We have an electric kettle, husband uses it for instant coffee; before we got together he used the microwave to boil water. The kids use it for tea. I use it for hot water for Moka pot, boiling water for grits, whatever needs hot water.
Electric kettle, microwave, and coffee grinder are the only appliances that live on the kitchen counter, all the other things are in the pantry.
They are two:
Kimchi grilled cheese, like the video "late night kimchi grilled cheese". Strain some kimchi, save the liquid. Chop the solid and fry it in butter. Assemble the sandwich with the kimchi between cheese, cheese between bread. Mayonnaise the outside of the sandwich. More butter in pan, and add the liquid from the kimchi. Fry the sandwich in this kimchi butter. So it's got kimchi fried in butter on the inside, and is itself fried in kimchi butter.
Close second place roast beef and sharp cheddar with sliced sweet onion, on good rye sourdough, with horseradish and mayonnaise. Yum yum yum.
Delicious. Yes my camera refused to focus on the drink, it wanted to focus on the flowers.
2 oz bourbon
1 oz Giffard Abricot
1 oz Heirloom Pineapple Amaro (any not too dark Amaro would work fine)
1oz fresh lemon juice
Shake all together, pour into coupe, drink whatever doesn't fit straight out of the shaker.
If you want to highball it, omit the amaro and add 4 oz dry ginger beer.
Running out of things!
1oz bourbon (end of the bottle)
1oz Cognac (end of the bottle)
1 oz Amaro Nonino
0.5oz Aperol
0.5oz Campari
1.5 oz fresh lemon, squeezed in press right after squeezing some orange juice, so hint of orange.
Really good but sort of like making soup, just using up ends of bottles! I do recommend adjusting Paper Plane though, it's so much better with twice the bourbon and I find I also like it better with that half-Aperol, half-Campari.
Yes, again. Tepache and bourbon have such an affinity. Irish or Canadian whiskey also so good with tepache. This one is one shot of Even Williams bottled-in-bond, 7 oz tepache, juice of one lime (my tepache is finished and fizzy but still quite sweet).
Closing out the weekend, back to work tomorrow.
Lemmy doesn't like the picture, I will try to add it later.
A person again, female again, in a developed country again. I would do this again. Please.
