That is mostly the fault of Army of Two on my 360, but that's neither here nor there.  I was up until almost 4 AM last night, and then had to get back up today to make a field trip with

I know, I know, this is a bit early.  I've got a good reason for that: you see, in all odds, I won't have time to work on this tomorrow, so I thought I'd go ahead and update with mine.  After all, it just has to be by Monday, correct?

The best Cocktail a la Louisiane ever.

Recipe from Cocktail Chronicles:
3/4 oz. rye
3/4 oz. sweet vermouth
3/4 oz. Benedictine
3 dashes Pernod (all I have; he suggests Herbsaint)
3 dashes Peychaud's bitters

Well, there's no snow, per se.  And I ain't dashing anywhere but into my beverage.

I often make double size drinks.  For a lot of them, it can make it easier to measure the ingredients.  Also, it gives me more drink to enjoy.

With tmfiii trying not to get sick, I figured I'd make a drink that he'd like, and one that would work on some of the stuff ( Read more... )

Obviously - it's late.  I'm not, as you might have surmised, drunk however.  A long night last night helped encourage me towards that.

But I was back on the feet.  It wasn't the greatest day in the world, especially since someone messed with my Harley.  I added an extra fork lock to the bike, hit the gym, promised Barbara dinner soon in exchange for ( Read more... )

Forgot to get to it last night...
