I don't think I want to make chickenade.

gently caress chickenade, make chicken ale.

In order to make this take 10 gallons of ale and a large cock, the older the better. Parboil the cock, flay him and stamp him in a stone mortar till his bones are broken (you must craw and gut him when you flay him), then put the cock into 2 quarts of sac [sixteenth-century dry Spanish white wine], and put to it 3 pounds of raisins of the sun stoned, some blades of mace, a few cloves; put all these into a canvas bag, and a little before you find the ale has done working, put the ale and a bag together into a vessel; in a week or 9 days bottle it up, fill the bottles but just above the neck, and give it the same time to ripen as other ale.

The Smartest Man in the World with Greg Proops. Even if you didn't find him funny on any TV shows, he is amazingly quick-witted and hilarious. Each podcast is a taping of his traveling show where he reads the news, recites poetry, spins yarns about the Seventies, explores history, musicians, baseball, drugs and leftist politics. Here's the thread on it.

One packet of brewer's yeast can be cultured to last quite a long time. Each packet can be used for up to five generations, with each generation making enough to have four amounts (~6-8 oz of slurry) to be used in the next generation.

1st Generation (1 use) - 2nd generation (4 uses) - 3rd gen (16) - 4th gen (64) - 5th gen (256).

341 uses out of one packet.

Assuming a 1L starter per batch (5g) on average, that requires 4 oz of dried malt extract.

Buying at 3 pounds, it's $1 per starter.

At 50 pounds, it's $135 for the DME. That's $0.68 per batch for 200 batches. Much better than $6 a batch, if you have the refrigerator space to store each and don't mind using the same yeast for every beer.

Actually it's simpler broscience than that. Alcohol is a solvent; it dissolves grease. If you feed it enough grease, it's too busy dissolving that to dissolve your brain cells, intestinal lining, etc.

Also eggs are a great hangover breakfast because the yolks contain compounds that help the liver do the heavy lifting with late-phase alcohol metabolism. Big starchy things like potatoes help with this as well, because acetic acid is vinegar and malt vinegar goes very well with potatoes.

So I just ate 18 tacos, one part lengua, one part tripa, one part pastor. Also washed down with a tamarindo 16oz. Is this correct

edit: Feels like it was a roaring success. Looking at the menu now, the 20 taco platter came with a pitcher of horchata. Not sure how my companions dropped the ball on that.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder if there could (maybe) be some correlation here........ :allears:



also no, that sounds like basically a problem I can't even fathom. I travel to eat food I wouldn't otherwise eat, that's like 80% of the point. the other 20% being to see things I wouldn't otherwise see.

but what do you eat when you don't travel

Wiggles, state government is a public, democratically elected entity used to manage good and services to meet the needs of/subjugate the people, as necessary. Typically a good source of entertaining hijinx for all involved. Think of a larger, more obtuse agri-supply.

“Even when she wasn’t at her prettiest, I was attracted to her. Patsy’s body made up for the rest on those occasions. She was built like a brick shithouse. When she moved the earth shaked. I couldn’t take my eyes off her body. Ah, she had a figure like an hourglass And what an rear end. She looked good. I had other motives than just her being on my show. Oh, she knew what I was thinking. There wasn’t no doubt what I was up to.”

Nobu is not nearly as good as raku.

Lotus is still my favourite Thai in town.

There was a great little Afghan place I went to last time I was in town, I want to say off of flamingo, next to a jiffy lube or something. Very casual lunch place, very authentic. Will try to remember the name.

When the gently caress is someone going to make a proper schwarzbier? Shiner is okay and Kostritzer always tastes past its prime.
