Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love eating Kraft Mac N Cheese right out of the pot with a wooden spoon.

mmmmm

David, two ingredients does not make "a proper cocktail," no matter how you serve it, so why make dishes? Dishes suck.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION, how could I determine if a particular book is in any bookstore in the area? Call the publisher and ask if any area stores have bought the book?

Gimlets need sugar, dammit!

That's why you have simple syrup. Rose's is yuck compared to real lime.

Yeah, it does. A highball is just booze plus mixer. 7&7, Rum and coke, etc.

It's very satisfying to build a proper cocktail.

Especially because in our house, it usually involves antique implements, setting something on fire, or, on really good nights, both!

But they aren't made better by being put in a glass! Rum and coke is made better by adding a lime, but then you have three ingredients! Is what I was getting at.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think a cocktail needs a garnish. Twist of lemon for the 7&7 and a lime wedge for the rum & coke. Therefore if you take a swig of diet coke, add some vanilla vodka and squeeze a little lime before you swallow that'd be a cocktail.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

antique implements

Pete makes all the cocktails?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

As a serious gimlet drinker, I respectfully dissent.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I will agree with Hec, though I'm likely biased since even at home, mine are made by a professional.
