Wow pork and parmesan is really loving good. Like take some slow-roasted pork shoulder, serve with brussel sprouts, microplane shitloads of parmesan over it. gently caress. Pretty baller two dollar meal.

Meh, I used to make a decent meatloaf out of ground turkey. You gotta add a bunch of fat, or else it's dry as hell. The woman and I just watched the Amy's Baking Company Episode of Ramseys' show. HOLY poo poo, what a psycho. Also, how much money did they waste decking out that kitchen with all the latest equipment? My buddy with the pizza shop doesn't even have a pizza oven that nice, and he has plenty of happy customers.

Kenning posted:They're not new, but they're definitely an abomination. They've fallen out of fashion because the fashion has gotten better. The 70s-90s were dark decades for cocktails, but we've come a long way in the last 10 years. Also if you're ordering from a bar of course they're not going to strangle you. That's why I do all of my mixing at home, where I don't worry about tips. Come on. "Martini" is a very vague term, and most of the "purists" would never drink the earliest martini recipes- too much vermouth- served on the rocks, etc. Ice cubes just dilute my cocktail a bit as they melt. Same as in any other drink served on ice. Hang on, let me find my hair shirt so that I can put it on before I flog myself for not enjoying chilled straight gin in an unwieldy glass.

This is why craft cocktail bars use large ice cubes. Less surface area = less dilution. Midnight Cowboy here in Austin has some of the best cocktails I've ever had, and I like to think that I know a thing or two about making a good drink. Re: Parm and pork. This is actually one of my new menu items. Pork belly sandwich with a parm crisp. Best sandwich.

People can drink whatever they want, obviously, but if you'd give people poo poo for making food "incorrectly" then it's not inappropriate to give them poo poo for making drinks in a similarly incorrect manner. A vodka martini is a well-done steak. A martini with no vermouth is Alfredo with canned parmesan. A martini on the rocks is beans in chili. An olive instead of a twist is male circumcision.

If you want it on the rocks then it really stops being a martini and just becomes "gin on the rocks with some olive juice" or whatever. I also think that a pretty healthy amount of vermouth is needed to make it a martini. I do agree about the stemware thing, I much prefer a simple gin and bitters in a small rocks glass.

One trend I really appreciate lately is the greater use of the coupe glass. Cocktail glasses are really sloshy, but coupe glasses are a lot easier to use while remaining at least as elegant as the traditional cone-shape.

Three slices of deli turkey shingled on the flat top with 2 slices of provolone and bacon. Roll it, serve on croissant with chipotle mayo and avocado. I find club sandwiches to be terribly boring. When I do get an order for one, they always want it cold.

Drink and Fight posted:My experience is the complete opposite. Normal bars just count out a pour for your jack and coke or whatever, high-end cocktail bars do precise measurements so your Aviation comes out perfect.  In all the good places I've been they pour by hand to exact measurements, in the bad ones they give you one of these:  For rum&cokes it's okay but ugh, nothing worse than one of those sweet, sugary cocktails made of equal parts of everything regardless of flavour...

I want to get down there in the morning anyways - do you think 6:30 would be early enough for cronuts? I could just bring a folding chair and code for an hour and a half. EDIT: Nm, it looks like we're at peak cronut right now. The waits will be less in a few months. No Wave fucked around with this message at 21:50 on May 30, 2013 |

Any suggestions for awesome places to go/things to do/places to eat in Tuscany? I'll bet there aren't cronuts in Tuscany  Real bad news: I think main wife has coeliac disease. I always poopooed people with gluten or lactose intolerances (thinking they were probably just hypochondriacs) but I think it's the real thing. Her father is/was a gastroenterologist and he has preliminarily diagnosed coeliac. No gluten, which really loving sucks, especially as she loves cakes, etc, and is a really good baker.

I assume you'll have transport? You're close to both Sienna and Firenze. Both will get absolutely filled with tourists, but at the same time, both are must visit destinations as far as cities are concerned. You're right in Chianti, so there should be some winery touring involved or at least thought about, I should think. To the West a bit is Rosignano Marittimo, a nice little seaside town, if you want to take in some beach time. But really it's Tuscany so try not to plan too much and just go with the flow.
