Weirdly, I adore cilantro
That is weird. Well. I think anyone liking cilantro is pretty weird. I realise this means I'm categorising the great majority of the human race as freaks. Sounds about right.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
My supertaster DH would agree with deb completely, except that he dislikes the taste of alcohol so much he can't abide champagne either.
I manage the bubbly because - yes, this will sound as peculiar as it gets - I can taste the fizzles in it, the CO2 or whatever is used to make it fizz up. Add peach nectar and I'm happy.
Beer, to me, smells like weasel pee. Hard booze smells like something I'd clear out a clogged drain with.
Cindy, the green pepper thing? It's weird, because I love roasted red, yellow or orange peppers. It's just the green ones. Gah.
(OT, sort of) BTW, speaking of beer, our homeless friend John sends his thanks. We've been bringing him all the beer left over from the BBQ, since neither of us drink it. He does, though.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I didn't care for the Fernet. I'm sensitive to bitter flavors and that just did me in. Don't like anise flavors at all.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Dude, yeah, the Fernet tasted like ASS. And it definitely *tasted* like it should be flammable, even though Jilli and juliana proved that it isn't.
Me for bourbon. Or beer. Or wine. Just not Fernet.

move out and draw fire
I kinda liked the Fernet, and I hate ouzo or anise in general. A little dab'll do ya, however.
Finally got photos on Flickr from the F2F. I didn't take many, but here they are: [link]

Awesome pics, Raq!
I love this one even though I look like a midget in it. The hard hat shot--classic!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It has been suggested I try the Fernet Mente. Mint is a good thing but maybe it'll just taste more like toothpaste than the mouthwash it does now?

Igniting alcoholic beverages can be tricky, and yes, not all of them are. But for the ones that do ignite, you'll frequently have to chose a narrow glass, preferably with more or less straight sides, and cup your hand over the top for a minute or two to allow the vapors to build up in the glass.
Of course, I wasn't present for juliana and Jilli's demonstration, so all of this may have been done anyway.
