Was at a wedding in a somewhat posh hotel in Madison, right near the capital. The bigger ballroom next to the wedding was also rented out for a wedding, but it was full of douchebags in ballgowns and tuxes. They were being right bitches to people from the wedding we attended, which was a young couple that's been together since high school. So we decide to go crash their full open bar, which was lovely. They had a 3-piece string ensemble playing and no one looked like they were having fun... Little did we know that our friends had hired the UW-Madison marching band to lead the wedding party procession into the hall and then play for a good 20 minutes while the wedding party danced. I was glad we had seats next to the door so we could watch a string of uptight dudes in tuxes run over and cuss out whoever they could find from the hotel. Another wedding I was at took place on Halloween in a cemetery, followed by a costume party rave. It was not nearly as exciting as it sounded though.

I am so glad I don't have to survive off of what I shoot, because I'd be eating acorns tonight. So many turkey hunters out. Saw three squirrels in 9 hours and only one was close enough in to even attempt a shot.

Today I yelled at a "friend" on Facebook who has turned into a crazy militant vegan and posted something to the effect of "Stop saying you're an animal lover if you still eat animals!!!" I can't give you the exact quote anymore because I unfriended that annoying bitch tout de suite but it sure was satisfying. for clarity: dino you're an awesome vegan, this person liked to tell everyone else how horrible they were for not making the same life choices they did Crusty Nutsack fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jan 13, 2013 |

Ugh, no. They use a lovely bottled mix. It's not about the drink, it's about how much over-the-top poo poo they can cram on top. There are far better places to get bloodies in MKE (it's a great bloody town). Plus it doesn't help that the owner of that place is an rear end in a top hat. Also:

I do Sacramento tomato juice, then heavy dashes of worcestershire, heavy lemon or lime, heavy celery salt. Then black pepper, old bay, pickle (or caper) brine, bit of horseradish, El Yucateco hot sauce. Also good: Cajun seasoning, soy, fish sauce

Chef De Cuisinart posted:Even when you go to a restaurant that makes their own bloody mary mix, its just canned diced tomatoes. I worked at a place that had "the best bloody mary in Austin" and it was just YAYSYSCO canned diced tomatoes, worcestershire, salt, pepper, and some other poo poo I can't remember. Point being, YAYSYSCO. Some are, some aren't. I think Milwaukee takes its bloodies pretty seriously. I have yet to meet a bottled mix I like, but some bars have homemade mixes that are just outstanding around here. And they're thick like Sacramento tomato juice, not that thin, translucent juice that a lot of bottled mixes are made with.

Sacramento tomato juice or bust. Nice and thick with a good acid/sweet balance. Then add lime or lemon juice, celery salt, worcestershire, old bay, black pepper, horseradish, pickle juice, hot sauce.

No Wave posted:Realistically though this offends me the most for burgers. Not because I like burgers all that much, but because the first place people go is always either a.) jalapenos or b.) eggs and both are so completely off-base that I do not even understand how they are evaluating their dishes. Why would you put spice on a relatively bland dish, and why would you put runny fat on a pile of fatty meat with runny fat on top? Eggs on burgers are delicious. Do you like bacon on burgers? Why does that make sense? That's just greasy meat on more greasy meat. Or cheese, even. That's just fat on top of fat, right? Also burgers shouldn't be "relatively bland" to begin with. And jalapenos, especially pickled, can help cut through a fatty burger quite well.

Steve Yun posted:During sex-ed my middle school science teacher told us about stupid myths and told us about how when she was in college one of the girls in her sorority would put yogurt in her cooter to cure a yeast infection. She was never sure why but now that I think about it, that girl probably heard that vaccines contained a little of whatever germ you're vaccinating yourself against and probably heard yogurt contained the "good" bacteria and put 2 and 2 together. That is actually a thing. Acidophilus affects the yeast, or something.

phthalocyanine posted:Re: yeast infections and probiotics, it is recommended by the CDC to take probiotics during and after an antibiotic regimen to prevent yeast infection which is a really common side effect of antibiotics in vagina-bearers. Bodies is complicated. For reasons I'm not sure are fully known, antibiotics can also disrupt the efficacy of hormonal birth control. Eating yogurt? I didn't think that eating yogurt will prevent/cure a yeast infection (and I didn't think it was the probiotics that did anything to yeast, but who knows)... When you treat a yeast infection with yogurt you pretty much inject it into your cooter (just like other topical yeast infection meds).

Squashy Nipples posted:Traveling for work finally paid off, I'm going on a free vacation by cashing in my Hilton points. I've never been to an all-inclusive resort before, which begs the question... how is the food at those places? Mostly junk, and usually limited. We ate a lot of the same stuff over and over again, but that probably depends on the resort. Breakfast buffet seems to be the best meal, probably because it's harder to screw up. This was at a Couples resort.

Squashy Nipples posted:Yeah, this is a Hilton, so I'm hoping for better then average fare. We'll see. If you want specific brands, make sure you ask. All the fruity tropical things will be made with crap, obviously. And anything you don't specify will be, too. My "favorite" story from our one all-inclusive experience was the woman who was crying alone on the beach because she walked in on her husband banging the maid. The best part: when we told a bartender the story, he was perplexed, because "she knows 100 other private places to take him!"

I use my moms old recipe that's flour/shortening/salt/water but it never rolls out neatly and I'd like to switch to butter . I'm tired of all my tasty pies from my rhubarb plants looking like a retard made them. Freeze your butter and then grate it on a box grater right into your flour. Makes it easy to incorporate.

"This little cauldron is extremely hot. There's nothing worse than being hungry, and being served super-hot food. Part of what makes this taste good is probably its lack if vegetables. I won't penalise the dish for it, but it stays hot for way too long, and I'm still having to blow on it right to the end of the meal."

The Midniter posted:I made the mistake of making some homemade pepperoni bread for one of my department potlucks. Now I get death threats if I even THINK about bringing anything else. I'm loving sick of making pepperoni bread. That's what always happened with mine, too. Someone would HAVE to bring their nasty overcooked egg scramble thing in a crockpot, another would always have to bring his PB chocolate chip cookies, another would have to bring her lovely no-bake "cheesecake". There was one woman who would make the most beautiful arranged fresh crudite platters though, that was one good thing. I would always have to do a bloody (virgin) mary bar, but I was OK with this.

Just try some Tums if you haven't yet. Otherwise there's Prilosec and Zantac which are both over the counter good acid reflux meds. But start with Tums or Rolaids, they're much cheaper.

Daeren posted:My mother has one, and it loving obliterates whatever you put into it. A lot of stuff made in cheap blenders still have little chunks and bits in them, or take forever to process a large batch, but the smoothies she makes are done quickly and practically emulsions. Is it worth several hundred bucks? For my money, not really, unless you've got money to burn, drink a fuckton of smoothies, or really, really want a consistent product. Yeah it makes poo poo super smooth but it also can just chop stuff too. So I use it all the time to lightly chop/smash fruit for jams, chop a whole ton of veg for certain recipes if I'm feeling lazy, blend a chunky salsa verde, etc. Also use it to make oat flour from rolled oats for cookies.
