OH! speaking of F2Fery, I (with spouse) will be in NYC in a week, Thursday - Sunday, and would love to meet up with Buffista-style humans! Evenings are pretty booked, but we're otherwise free.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I know you stayed with Vortex a good while ago; did she happen to take you to Teaism, our local tea version of Starbucks?
I did not. I confess that somehow I didn't know that Scola drank tea and had none in the house. I felt terrible. So, now I have some. Which I throw most of away every six months because I don't like tea. But, I have it for guests now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, I always find it so charming when people keep stuff in stock just for guests.

This made me realize I've had a half bottle of Old Overholt whiskey for guests' benefit that hasn't been touched in the better part of a decade. Maybe I need to look up some recipes that involve whiskey in the cooking?

Our wings are not tired.
Whiskey party at Matt's! It gets better with age, right? (not a whiskey fan)

Should you want to stop in DC, you are welcome to stay with us, as long as 7-year olds, dogs and early risers aren't an issue for you. (our life is, understandably, not for everyone) You can walk to the Red Line from our house.
I also have a big thing at work on the 24th, so can't take that day off, and we have a bar mitzvah to go to at 10 a.m. on the 25th, so I would have to shirk a lot of hostessing duties.

I think the aging process stops once you bottle it, but couldn't swear as I'm not much of a whiskey drinker myself. Which, I guess having the same half-full bottle since 2008 underscores.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've been enjoying hot toddys this winter - lemon, honey, cinnamon stick, whiskey (or rye or bourbon), hot water. Super-easy and if you don't like whiskey you can just add more honey and lemon.

I will take any unwanted whiskey. Happily.
I need to hit up one of our liquor superstores to see about getting a new bottle of fancy Whiskey. Not sure if there is any more St. George's small batch whiskey out there, but if so, I want it.
I kinda want to set up a "birthday cocktail" station for the party tomorrow featuring whiskey, but I normally drink my whiskey straight. Never been a big fan of Manhattans or Whiskey Sours. What is a good "starter" whiskey cocktail? (I know this is Natter...so I'm gonna crosspost my question there).

Brandy in these parts. We've been drinking a lot of them this winter.
