I once went to a wine festival in LA and ended up getting a hangover without getting drunk.

I'm pretty sure this is more likely heat/sun stroke and dehydration and not hangover.

If you start feeling tired early on drink a pint or 2 of water then get back onto the wine/beer/whatever. The last beer festival I went to I started crashing around 4pm after like 5 pints

Edit: I may also be an alcoholic. Thats a thing here it seems?

Allergies are so funny. I was one of those kids that had a full checkerboard on their back at the allergy test, but now the only thing I still avoid is fluke and flounder.

Just be careful in case you get respiratory problems, HH. Those can get serious quickly; I should know, given that flounder sent me to the ER 3 times.

keep on eatin it, you'll get over the allergy sooner or later!

I thought I made a post but apparently I didn't.

Anyway, I went allrecipes.com on an allrecipes.com recipe yesterday. I made fresh peach ice cream, but wanted to serve it to my kids, so I omitted the raw egg. I also increased the amount of peach puree, and took the extra step of sending it through a chinois. I also added fresh lemon and a little more sugar than the recipe called for. The end result was probably somewhere around 7 or 8 percent butterfat, so lower than ice cream but more than sherbet. It does have a very sherbet like mouth feel and flavor though.

I give the recipe 4 stars, would make again.

I'm glad you posted this. I made some peach ice cream for the 4th from the Baldwin sous vide book. I think it tasted a little too milky, but all of the recipes there follow the 'make and cook creme anglaise, add milk powder' and that may not yield as good results with fruit. I'll probably mess with the eggs in my ice cream / custards in the future.

I convinced a bartender to give me a shiny Budweiser sped opener once, and I love the thing. I don't know why stores only sell little church keys, when those big speed openers are clearly the superior option.

I think I might actually get some use out of it. Some stuff is useless - a lighter holder? You light the grill once and put it away. However it's pretty heavy-duty and feels like something you'd get at a hardware store, not Wal-Mart. I have a WSM so my tools are usually scattered about on the nearest flat surface, and having 3 beers on my person and both hands free is worth the price of admission right there. I've been meaning to work "bro" more into my vocabulary, anyway.

I'd just like to go on record saying: gently caress YOU, YOU JUNKIE FUCKSTICKS DICKBISCUIT COCKPLOW NO-BRAINED SHITEATING CUNTS.

We (my sister, my cousin and I) have spent pretty much all of our savings fixing up the summer cottage we inherited from our grandparents. Nothing super fancy, but I wanted to upgrade the kitchen so we would have more than two electric coils and a toaster oven to cook on - so I went with a counter-mounted induction rig and a decent oven, a nice porcelain sink, a fairly pricy countertop etc. We also renovated the bathroom.

Some worthless excuse for a human being broke in (smashing the new door and a window) and used a skilsaw to cut out the induction burners and the oven. Not happy with just stealing, they decided to smash up the sinks in both kitchen and bathrooms and broke the cistern for the toilet - so in addition to the damage to door and window, there's now water damage all over. Early estimates for repairs & replacements are in the $12-15k range, what with parts and labour for window, door, plumbing, new floors, new drywall, stove etc.

We have insurance, but my cousin called them today and they said they were experiencing longer than usual processing of claims, so we shouldn't expect to see any money before october. That's the vacations of three families out the loving window, as none of us have the means to finance the repairs and replacements.

rear end. Holes.

Someone do something idiotic to cheer me up, please.

Also. gently caress today. I got into a minor accident. My first one ever in my 6-7 years of driving. I was late to work, and my mom's car needs some body work now :v:. But otherwise everything's ok. Other lady was fine, her car just has a small crack on the bumper, and my mom's car is still drivable, it's just not highway safe til the hood can latch back in place.
