I shared two bottles of champagne with my wife last night, and now I feel rotten. What happened to my youthful hangover-free vigour that I now want to throw up after such a small amount of booze? Surely I should be consistently getting better at drinking, not worse?

In GOOD holiday news, my brother in law figured out a decent replacement for that horrible green bean casserole. I have a special hatred for the green bean casserole, because I like green beans so much, but hate Campbells soup casseroles just as much (the fried onions are fine). So anyways, blanch your green beans briefly and set aside. Melt some butter, add a bit of sesame oil, cook some garlic and and onions in it, add a few cups of coarsely chopped mushrooms. So, basically a duxelle with bigger pieces, and a little sesame oil for flavor. Add in the beans so they absorb a little flavor, dump into a round casserole dish and serve. Everybody ate it, everybody liked it! Score one for crown pleasers that don't completely suck! Scientastic posted:I shared two bottles of champagne with my wife last night, and now I feel rotten. I was never much of a drinker, but I've only gotten worse in my old age; I can barely drink at all now. Thursday night I had some scotch on the rocks with the brother in law, and all it did was give me a headache, make my stomach queasy, and led to me to pass out early. Really, the only alcohol I enjoy anymore is some wine with a meal. And by that, I mean 1 large glass or two small ones, that's it. I'm so lame. There are so many social rituals around drinking, and I wish I could properly participate in them.  therattle posted:Age. Are your back, shoulders, nose and ears getting hairier?

I go to a traditional Turkish barber (amazing): they singe the ear hairs. Frightening but effective

Squashy Nipples posted:I'd take that! I don't even really get drunk anymore, I just go straight to sick. It's great. One does get the burned hair smell, but they also do the hot towels on the face, trimming eyebrows, scalp massage etc. Turkish men take grooming very seriously. I am not too bad with drunkenness and hangovers even at 40, although I think knowing that a small child will wake me at any time from 5:15 places a natural curb on how drunk I get.

I have a bleeding disorder which led to nose bleeds when I was younger. I've had my nose cauterised about 7 times. Some were chemical, some were electrical/heat. You hear the sizzle of burning flesh and then the smell, obviously, is right in your nostrils. (They were all done with local anaesthetic, thanks god). So glad that they have worked and I haven't needed one for about 15 years. PS my roasting flesh smelled delicious!

I received two 1lb-ish packages of frozen ground venison or at least I assume its ground, I haven't opened the tube. I've never made anything with venison before so I'm open to somewhat easy suggestions. EDIT: I somehow forgot there was a general questions thread

mindphlux posted:hurray finally figured out a time my gal and I can take a vacation. booked a flight to budapest dec 16th, flying back dec 27 outa munich. If you're going from Vienna to Munich by rail you'll be passing through Prague. Stay a day and wander. Go up onto Petřín Hill (ride the funicular!) and see the old observatory, which is still used for solar observation and has a very nicely done visitor's center. Go up to Prague Castle and see St. Vitus' Cathedral, which took almost 600 years to build. Cross the Vltava and climb onto the wall of Vyšehrad and look down on the rest of the city, the oldest city in Europe that wasn't bombed in WW2. Then get lost in small side streets and eat at a random restaurant without English menus. What I'm saying is Prague is a wonderful city and worth spending some time in, even if you're just passing through. As for the rest of y'all I hope your Thanksgivings were as nice as mine. Mom and I drunk-cooked Thanksgiving dinner and both managed to avoid hangovers. Everything turned out great. Even the family members I don't like weren't too obnoxious.

I've never cooked venison and have not cooked meat for over 7 years, but if making a burger wouldn't you need to add something like bacon or pancetta to up the fat content? That is, I understand that venison is lean and not all ground meat is the same and can be used interchangeably.

Third shift is not fun. Thank goodness I only have to do it one more night. At least tomorrow night will be at my new pay rate. I got promoted at work already, after only like 3-4 months to "Senior Cook." I've made myself useful, and now I get to do the prep for patients/room service. This hospital job is so much easier and less stressful than any actual restaurant.

How cool is this thing?  My brother in law got it from an Aunt who never used it. Thing is in brand new condition, all the enamel is perfect. It must weigh drat near 20 pounds! I can't imagine owning something like this and never using it; we used it to keep the sausage stuffing warm.

I usually forget it exists in the freezer for a year or just go ahead and toss it. I put it up there with venison sausage which also really sucks.

Squashy Nipples posted:How cool is this thing? Looks pretty rad. By the way I was inspired by your mention of remaking green bean casserole via duxelles. In the process of making that right now as a veggie dish for the week, will probably cut out a lot of the cream and try to keep it as a bit lighter veggie side and top with just a thin layer of a bit of leftover cornbread stuffing instead of fried onions. Hoping it works out.

It seems to me that when I woke up after celebrating my 40th birthday, my body decided to give me a big "gently caress YOU, THIS IS HOW WE ROLL FROM NOW ON!". Every hangover since then has been of the 2 1/2-day variety.

It was very memorable and completely beautiful - but I think our path won't take us through praha this time. we're planning on doing like 4 nights in budapest, 2 in vienna, then going to this cool austrian "salzkammergut" salt mine valley area for xmas proper, then going to munich to catch a direct flight back to Atlanta to save a bit of cash.
