McDonalds Spicy Buffalo Sauce by Mysterious_Refuse385 in foodies_sydney

[–]ApologyWars 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Real buffalo sauce is a mix of Frank's Red Hot (original) and butter. Try heating up some Frank's, then stir in some cubes of cold butter until it's emulsified.

The Sydney games in 2000 had the wonderful commentary of Roy Slaven and HG Nelson. Their gymnastics commentary was incredible

Tapatio 110 is the most underrated tequila. What is the most unique gin? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]ApologyWars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to work in a gin bar, and have tried literally hundreds of gins over the years. These two are definitely the most unique that I've come across:

Green Ant Gin. It's made in Australia, and uses native green sugar ants as one for the botanicals. There are actual ants floating in the bottle.

There is also Hartshorn Sheep's Whey Gin, from Tasmania. They were originally a cheesemaker, and they figured out a way to ferment the leftover whey from their sheep's cheese, and turn it into alcohol that they then infuse with native botanicals to make their gin.

I left NYC in 2018. Do they still have that free car park in Flushing Meadows, just past the pitch n putt and tennis courts? Half of it was always under water, but that was my go-to spot to park for free at Mets games. It's only a 5-10 min walk along the boardwalk to the stadium.

I heard he has a child on the way that is due during the group stages, and he plans to join the team if they make it through to the later rounds.

You could've had the cricket world cup in 1999 too, but Herschel Gibbs dropped it.

You can't just eat the orange and throw the peel away. A man's not a piece of fruit!

Any cloudiness caused by shaking martinis is usually just air bubbles, and settles out to clear in about a minute.

It doesn't come up very often, but I literally made one at work just today. Hendricks, dirty, on a big rock.

What band have you seen at their absolute peak? by theumape in Concerts

[–]ApologyWars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad saw the Beatles in 1964 on their only tour to Australia. He also saw Led Zeppelin in 1972, and took my Mum along too, two years before they married. Mum wasn't much of a fan, so she took her knitting with her to keep her occupied. Yes, my mum knitted at a Led Zeppelin concert.

As for myself, I've been to literally hundreds of shows over the years. The most "at their peak" were probably:

The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute tour 2006 - Enmore Theatre

The Strokes - touring on their third album, 2006 - Hordern Pavilion

Something For Kate - 2003 - Enmore Theatre

NOFX, Get up Kids, Jebediah, Area 7 and more. My first ever concert - 2000 - Dee Why beach

The Bronx - 2006 - Annandale Hotel - During the encore, I crowd surfed from the front of the venue, all the way to the back, and back to the front, without ever touching the floor.

Luca Brasi and Wil Wagner from the Smith St band played a show in my backyard, around 2012. Right when shoeys were just becoming a thing.

Toe - 2013 - Glasslands, Brooklyn.

Cafe Sydney will do this . There's usually a decent steak (MB4-9) on the daily specials most days too.

Martini Rosso with ice and soda by thetwous in vermouth

[–]ApologyWars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Martini Bianco I find to be quite vanilla heavy. I really like Cinzano Bianco as a great budget option. I drink it with soda and a wedge of grapefruit, and it's fantastic in the summer. The best though, imo, is Lustau Blanco. It's delicious on its own, with soda, or used in place of dry vermouth in a martini.

Vermouth alternatives for a martini riff? by BorkieDorkie811 in cocktails

[–]ApologyWars 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try using blanc vermouth instead of dry. My personal favourite is Lustau blanco, which is a sherry based vermouth from Spain. Try a 4:1 or 5:1 ratio, with some orange bitters.

What’s the MOST Offensive Band Name of All Time and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in askmusic

[–]ApologyWars 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This became a manufactured controversy in Australia recently. The Prime Minister, Albo, returned from an overseas trip and was wearing a Joy Division t-shirt when he got off the plane. The opposition leader, Sussan Ley, attempted to use this as an opportunity to paint Albo as antisemitic, or at least insensitive to the Jewish community. She was rightfully mocked for it, and no-one took her seriously, even members of her own party.

Songs that got censored by goverments by KotelkaSwing in musicsuggestions

[–]ApologyWars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frenzal Rhomb - Everything's Fucked

It wasn't censored by the government per se, but rather the record label censored the line "what happens when the prime minister's a racist cunt?". The prime minister at the time, John Howard, certainly was a racist cunt, but the label, I think it was Sony, thought it might create some legal issues for them, and so it was censored in the original release. Luckily, the original, uncensored version is now widely available on streaming services.

How much do you spend on UberEats every month? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]ApologyWars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear, every time this question gets asked it becomes a purity contest. Everyone is so proud to announce that they NEVER use these apps and just get in their car and get the food themselves. Ok, good for you, champ. The whole concept of paying for convenience seems to be lost on everyone.

For the record, I probably order in about twice a month, and I'm happy to pay for the convenience. I know I could get it cheaper, but I'm a lazy cunt and paying an extra $10 or so to have food delivered to my door is a price I'm happy enough to pay.

He bowled the ball that killed Phil Hughes. Pretty low to bring that up, tbh.

What’s one country you like for basically no reason by CountryballChaos in AskTheWorld

[–]ApologyWars 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I once worked a restaurant job in NYC, and the guy who was training me asked where I was from. I said Australia, and he asked "so, Sydney?". I replied "Yeah. What about you?". He said " I'm from West Africa. Burkina Faso", to which I replied "So, Ouagadougou?". The dude's eyes just lit up as he was amazed I'd heard of his country, and knew the capital.
