I just figure that everyone understands I still believe the exact same stuff in that exact tone of voice.
Yeah, this. It's not as though my views are obscure or confusing to anyone at this point in our history.
My five year old was saying Dangit DANGIT DAAAANNNNGGGIIIIIT Dangit in class all day Tuesday. It was very cute. I didn't want to discourage it because it was probably provided as a substitute for what he hears at home. But I didn't want to encourage it either. It was so funny, though, because he wasn't really particularly upset at anything, he was just savoring its use.
Vermouth: Vya, Dolin, Antica, Noilly Pratt. Also, vermouth should be refrigerated unless being used quickly.
I've been enjoying high quality gin in vintage cocktails. If you can get 209 there, I recommend.
Scola is correct regarding Old Overhold rye being awesome and a staple no bar should be without.
It's funny when Matilda drops a curse word into conversation.
The best probably being, "Daddy, you didn't say a "fuckwad"?
"Wha?"
"When the light turned green. The driver didn't go. You didn't say fuckwad."
So I just received my shirts from the TeeFury Grab Bag, and one of them is an
American Idol
"Pants on the Ground" shirt. I don't know if anybody still cares about one's pants being on the ground anymore, but I know that at some point, people here DID care, so does anyone want a men's M shirt?
At one point, "tion" was probably pronounced the way it's spelled, "TEE-ON". The problem is that the "T" consonant and the "EE" vowel is formed in the front of the mouth, while the "O" vowel is formed in the middle. So basically, your tongue would have to start at the front of the mouth to pronounce "TEE", move to the middle to pronounce "O", and then move to the front again for the "N". So over time, the "TEE" shifted to "SH" so that the tongue could just start in the middle of the mouth and pronounce "SHO" and then move to the front for the "N". Much easier!
I believe Noilly Pratt is Jon's vermouth of choice. The bar doesn't refrigerate, I don't think.
If anyone who likes classic cocktails is ever in Dallas this is the place for you [link]
Well, I know *you* can, Hec!
