Yes, so much better than it should be. It’s fantastic for mixing (and so delicious on vanilla ice cream too) but husband likes it on a big ice cube, by itself.

Yes, exactly. It is still fruity from the lime, and Sambuca is very sweet (overwhelmingly so IMO) the full ounce of lime is fine to offset what ends up being a full ounce of sweetener.
The second part of that turned out to be more true for me. Older guys have more stamina (have trouble getting off) and I found out this is not a ‘two kinds of women’ thing. I can and do get off from the more indirect stimulation, it just never happened with my ex because he was quick (he did always take care of me first, not complaining) but now I am older this changed.
Ay yi yes I need a cup of coffee.
You have 10 daughters and one son?
OMG I had an enormous cat with very similar look who did exactly that to drink. His sister, though, knew that you had to get the water out of the glass to drink it, she would just tip it over with her paw, and drink from the resulting puddle.
Hmm. Nursed 4 kids, never got bigger than what people think of as an A cup, never really sagged or got big, gonna go with “small, but persistent”
It is newer, with a terrifying metal dough hook that looks like a sadist’s implement and a 1/2 speed setting. I do sourdough not dry yeast breads, and usually let it run on the slow speed for a couple minutes, rest, then on 2 for about 5 minutes or so, longer if all whole grain. (Then dump into a bowl, rest, stretch, evaluate if it needs another round or two of stretch and rest before bulk rise.) What I like is that or doesn’t struggle at all with that mass of dough. I have run it for over 10 minutes making brioche (it takes time to incorporate the butter) and it stays cool and comfortable.
I couldn’t stand the bread machine, it was like Schrodinger’s box. Put in measured ingredients. Will it be a brick? Will it be a bread? No idea until you open it.
I have to see the dough, feel the dough, be able to adjust the timing, give it an extra stretch if needed or an extra hour rest or go faster if it’s ready ahead of schedule.
With bread machine, 35% success, ugly bread
Hands and a bowl, and a pan? 95% success (never gets to 100%) and gorgeous bread.
Literal Gadget, the big KitchenAid mixer. I got one that can handle my 2 kilo of sourdough dough, it’s glorious.
MVP? The iron skillets, hands down. If I had to build a kitchen out of fewer than 10 items the medium and oldest one would be first on that list.
That’s good to hear - I hesitated to put this on here with the less accessible ingredients. The Nixta is so sweet I have trouble mixing it, but it was really good in this.
What a gorgeous picture! I never think of apple anything because I don’t like apple juice, but this looks really good.
Fresh pineapple juice and any sort of whiskey, I have never had that go wrong. Splash of whiskey in pineapple or splash of pineapple in whiskey. With smoky scotch, with rye, with bourbon, every variation I have tried has been so good.
I like good whiskey but only after it is diluted in some way - straight it just overwhelms my palate and I can’t taste it well. I need it stretched with water at least.
And whatever I have I put in cocktails. I do agree you don’t need top shelf but disagree on it doesn’t matter at all, I have had some terrible well drinks that were bad because bad whiskey.
I do agree. Doesn’t take anything away from men that was theirs to take in the first place. Just trying to lift women up doesn’t squash anyone down.
My dog - she was hacking and I let her out, she didn’t puke. Let her back in and she hurled all over the rug so I let her out, she seemed fine after puking and cleaned it then let her back in when the rug was cleaned and she puked on it again.
I threw out the rug.
Lifestraw filter pitcher. We have hard water and good coffee, so I guess it’s working.
1·1 month agoI’m in subtropical humidity, more worried about too much moisture than too much cold.
Yes I will save the peels, almost out of Yuzu Kosho, so might make more of that. But the juice has a different flavor to me too. Though I do have a press juicer, it gets oil from the skin of the citrus always.
Ok, this one is both gorgeous and seems delicious. I would swap the vinegar for a live meyer lemon vinegar or a champagne vinegar, and maybe goat cheese (or goat milk feta) but for sure will try this.
My favorite fruit salad is:
We have division of labor, particularly for big parties like Thanksgiving. I don’t want help with cooking but don’t want to have to clean up. That’s our general division of labor because I legitimately enjoy cooking, and people legitimately love eating what I cook; and husband says he would much rather clean up. His dad is a better cook than his mom, I don’t think it’s a sexist thing. So sure I have to do more cooking (started yesterday) but he does more too. The kids just do overflow mostly and while all of them are competent in some way in a kitchen, the distribution of good cooks is not a gender split among them.
The technology split is more gendered, all of the boys (including the one who started out a girl) are gamers and can build a computer, 3/4 of the girls are gamers and technically competent but only one is willing to fuck around with the hardware. One, my oldest, is not at all comfortable with technology, does not want to know how anything works. But she worked construction/home renovation and is good with saw and drill.
