'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I am home. I have survived three days of teaching, and now I have a day off.
I have definitely been wearing my ankle brace for too long each day. I'm getting sores on the sides of my ankle. I guess I should try taking it off during my lunch break, or something.
Slugs?
Rampaging, demonic slugs of doom. That will be threat sometime next week.
Slugs?
snerk
Ring of salt protects against *something*, but not vampires.
Slugs?
Yes, but not against those jumping slugs. Now in 3-D!
Wow, I read some Laurie Colwin years ago and I had no idea she was a foodie and a cook, too.
but not against those jumping slugs
If there are such a thing in truth, please keep that knowledge to yourself. Or reassure me that they're only in Australia, with that plethora of other freaky things, which will confirm my decision not to go there. Sorry, but your spiders freak me out.
ALL SHOULD READ LAURIE COLWIN, esp. "Happy All the Time."
Do it. Dooooo eeeeeeeet.
There's also a bar in my neighborhood that does whiskey flights -- I just don't think that can ever end well
There's a bar in downtown Cincinnati that does this as well, I think it's Christie's. They have a very good selection of single malts and their flights are excellent.
Christie's is in Clifton -- are you thinking of Nicholson's (the place that claims to be Scottish)?
Also, do remember I live in Northside. Hipsters + whiskey flights = bad news.
Whiskey "flights"? Like, in an airplane? What is this strange and wonderful new thing?
I don't know that the genesis is with wine, but I first heard the phrase as "wine flights", which are basically 4 tasting-size glasses of wine, meant to be tasted in the same sitting. Often there's a common theme -- 4 different Pinots, or 4 Pinots from the same vintner, but 4 different years, etc. t edit It doesn't have to be 4 glasses; it can be any number, really, greater than 1.
And from wine flights you get beer flights (most brewpubs do this, where they bring wee glasses of all their beers), and now apparently whiskey, gelato, and bacon (!) flights.
Truly, we live in a golden age.
I believe the Yard House does sampler 6 packs. Basically 6 shot glasses filled with 6 beers of your choice.
I've seen a bunch of microbreweries do the beer sample thing, but I don't think I've seen the term "flight" for it before.
