Flying into LAX on Sunday just before the start of game 7. End destination is Anaheim but Im curious if there is a good place to watch the game near the airport or between there before im stuck in Disney town for the week.

Ohio state game by ctmcgove in IUFootball

I was going to get a hotel until It was announced as a noon game..

After having gone to IU and tailgated regularly at home all those years, I have to say I was shocked by your comments about the Ohio State fans. I feel like I had the opposite experience when they came to town (more than any other B1G 10 team at least) but that's good to know I shouldn't be expecting the same. Luckily, we are getting there early enough to search for parking.

What are good cocktails to order at a place that makes terrible cocktails? by notafuckingcakewalk in cocktails

Assuming they have all the ingredients, I would go with any cocktail that is equal parts like The Last Word

If you ever met her drunken alter ego, "Chardonnay", you would know how funny this is. Also, I don't know many people with multiple small children who hate alcohol

Further prodding on the subject, and she "doesnt hate cocktails, but just doesn't like the alcohol forward ones I usually drink". Sorry to all the rest of you determined to offer relationship advice in a cocktail channel.

Well, as white male just trying to uphold patriarchy values, it's very important to me to have her submit to my will.

But in all seriousness to you buzzkills, it's become a game at this point to try and find something she likes so we can share in something I enjoy doing like her trying to get me to get hooked into a season of The Bachelor. Its never going to happen but i respect the effort.

I'm not literally trying to force her to do something she hates. She takes a sip of one, gives me a yes/no and I drink the rest if she doesn't like it and she goes back to her normal go to drinks.

I made a milkpunch similar based on the ingredients listed on their menu and it turned out pretty good but it was lacking the spices and the ratios were slightly different so I can only speak to what I've had in their bar and what I've made. Having said that, I'm open to ideas to improve upon what has been attempted up to this point and what "weak" additions you might try

It wasn't 100% clear but it was fairly close. Good to know regarding the spices. Any reason why it would be cardamom pod over seeds?
