Yeah it was in the 90s today here too, Houston TX. Spent all day dying in a warehouse because a scenic designer didn't realize that if he put dimensions on a drawing, the final product would be the same size. God bless America. On the plus side, heading to Austin in the morning to meet up with a college buddy, check out ACL, and meet with a potential client.

It was in the 80s yesterday in Dallas and then we had a crazy storm blow through and it is now in the 60s. Watched out my window at work, telephone poles getting ripped up and transformers exploding as a tornado started to form (never fully formed). Storm itself was 90mph winds. We had some windows blown out and lost power so we all left work early. Best part was the liquor store right next door was perfectly fine and had power so I got to go home early and drink.

Been a nice balmy 60's to low 70's here all week long, with perfect fall foliage coming into season, apples and pumpkins a-plenty.  Suck it, everyone who doesn't live in New England.

We're in Ireland and there was one "suspected" case in Donegal (it came to nothing) and the news broke the day he was like 10 miles from the Donegal border and he came home hilariously terrified. People are stupid about Ebola.

It's October, whores! Girlfriend and I just finished some pizza and wings, and watched "Trick 'r Treat". It's amazing. If you like Halloween, watch it! Drinking craft beer we brought home, and about to start on bourbon. So, give us movie recommendations!

Friday night, a lady friend stopped by with her kiddo to hang out and check on me, and told me that the kid can't stop talking about fair food. We spent some time thinking about it and made Luther burgers and are contemplating deep fried gummy bears. I'm pretty sure her mom hates me now

Sitting outside on my porch patio smoking a cigar and listening to Coast to Coast AM. Not really bachelor, but just a good manly evening. Going to go in later and fire up Shadow of Mordor after I take a poop.

I just realized that it's that magical time of year between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Time to head into the mountains and find an apple orchard, pick apples, and make Cinnamon Apple Whiskey! Edit: yes, that's what I do. It's bachelor, right? I'm preparing for winter! CaptainCrunch has a new favorite as of 02:32 on Oct 4, 2014 |

The lady and I are drinking Hornsby's hard cider and I made a p awesome chicken and asparagus risotto. We watched Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (I thought it was pretty good, honestly) since it's October and yaaaaasssss I love this whole month. It was a little warm today but Portland has been gorgeous these past couple weeks. Unfortunately it's not our Friday since we work Tuesday-Saturday so we can't really get shithoused.

While this weekend's plan is most likely just solo drinking to football, next weekend is a long one (thanks for something Columbus) so I'm shooting up to Boston for the birthday of the first of my friends to cross over to the *other* side of 25. With that said I have a couple of questions regarding my "gift" to my Bostonians... How long does the aforementioned-in-this-thread Apple Pie need to sit? Is it going to be like when I made Irish Cream, where I could drink it straight away but it'll be better the longer it muddles, or does it have a definite "rest" time? Is the definitive recommendation straining it so it doesn't get too cinnamon-y? And now the saddest question, what's the best substitute for the grain alcohol? It's near-impossible to find anything really high proof in my area of NY and as much as I want to accomplish this, I don't want to spend this weekend criss-crossing state/county lines just for a 750 of pain. That isn't to say I'm not going to look, but I'd rather have a backup ready.

Is it going to be like when I made Irish Cream, where I could drink it straight away but it'll be better the longer it muddles, or does it have a definite "rest" time? Straining isn't necessary. You will want to shake the container before drinking it each time. Just like apple cider by itself, poo poo naturally settles to the bottom. If you're not big on cinnamon, just drop in a couple sticks while it's on the heat and take them out pretty quickly. That's what I did last time. As soon as everything is mixed in and chilled, it's good to go. Wait till it's cool to mix in the alcohol, then give it a few more hours for all of it to cool some more in the fridge, and that's it. And uhh, I'd suggest a road trip to find some Everclear/other grain alcohol. I can't imagine that it will be that difficult to find it. I wouldn't risk substituting something else. I could imagine vodka would make it turn out pretty bad.

They don't sell it at all in the UK. Going to have to get in touch with my local friendly farmer, that recipe sounds awesome. Going to try it with Old Rosie, expect to get thoroughly hosed up

They also sell 153 "Diesel", which actually makes Natty Light taste better if you pour a half a shot into it after opening.

Friday hangouts are usually a little bit slower because people go out or have something to do in the morning. I was last man standing at 11:30 and called it quits, though I guess that's only 8:30 pacific.

Going to try it with Old Rosie, expect to get thoroughly hosed up They don't sell Everclear at all in Australia, but they do sell Spirytus, a Polish rectified spirit, at 95% ABV. You can definitely get it in the UK, but you might need to shop around. Yes, it's that expensive here. We get taxed based on the alcohol content of what we drink, the exact wording is that excise is base on the "volume of alcohol calculated by multiplying the actual volume of product by its alcoholic strength". So that sort of stuff murders you at the checkout. Still going to make some Apple Pie next Autumn. edit: quoted the wrong post. Memento has a new favorite as of 04:18 on Oct 5, 2014 |
