I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm not used to thinking of time as an important variable in chemical reactions, but I guess it is.

I may need to try the gins with a more neutral mixer to be able to differentiate between them (or figure out what I like in a vermouth. Or both!), but that will have to wait for another day. I am a lightweight.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

love the cocktail updates, -t!

Mine are Yara! Which is about the same sage but with gold glimmer. We're very pretty.

You will laugh, but that's the other color I was considering. But since I wore it the last time I wore the dress I'm wearing tonight, I decided to try the Gemma. Plus it was just so perfect for Spring, and I did my nails sitting by the roses in the front yard.

It certainly is. Fermentation is totes time related. Also, just from cooking many flavors change overnight in the fridge. Today's chili does not taste like tomorrow's chili.

Yeah, but fermentation is biology. But you are very right about chili, so I will go with that.

Oh, hey, you probably know this, Hec. What are you supposed to call Key limes when they aren't grown in the Keys? I've been chastised for using the wrong nomenclature before.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I may need to try the gins with a more neutral mixer to be able to differentiate between them

A friend and I went to a local bar and tried four gins straight (we split shots) to figure out what tasted like what. We decided that tanquery and another I forget were good for G&Ts, Hendricks was good for lighter drinks like a lemon fizz, and Beefeaters was best buried under a ton of mixers and add-ons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(buying two bottles of gin, one of vodka, and some cheese at 10am on Sunday is apparently my lifestyle now)

That sounds like an excellent lifestyle! I have definitely been in the liquor store at opening time on a Sunday, and it's kind of hilarious. For me, I mean.

It was pretty funny for me! I don't think I'll make it a weekly tradition...

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I have my first day on a new job after 2 weeks of waiting. 2 weeks during which I did very little actual useful stuff.

I'm a little nervous.

You'll be fine, quester. Good luck for a pleasant and easy day!
