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.
(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...
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!
thanks! I decided to have a glass of wine and a popscicle. I hope it helps.
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.
Was it by me? Sounds like the kind of dickish thing I'd make a stink about. I don't know. I know Key West itself is very particular about the limes they've got and say they're distinct from other non-Key West variations on the same lime. West Indian Limes? Kaffir?
Yeah, but fermentation is biology.
My friend Organic Chemistry and his buddies Hormones and Neurotransmitters would like to have a little talk with you.
Biology doesn't exclude Chemistry.

That sounds like a pretty delightful lifestyle, I have to admit.
Plei and I went and had pedicures today! My toes are black with OPI's Divine Swine over it. Pink and fuchsia glitter with larger silver glitter! My toes are very sparkly. Then we browsed through some consignment boutiques, and went for a small amount of tapas and drinky-drinks. Mmm, Death in the Afternoon.
Ha! No, it was a non-buffista Floridian, but he didn't give me an alternative. That's what my mom has in her yard, though. At least I think so - they're small, thin-skinned, sweet, practically yellow limes.
Yeah, yeah, biology is a subset of chemistry is a subset of physics which is just applied math. I don't see how it applies to our friend the lime cordial - the ingredients are just sitting there, not fermenting or cooking or apparently doing anything, yet something clearly happens because it tastes different. Mysterious.
