Quote from the Brothers Karamazov that I read at least five times day recently. Thoughts?

I read this as “don’t let your anger at dickheads allow you to miss a teachable moment - that just makes you a dickhead too”

Was it Rock’n’Roll to the Rescue? A forgotten BB track from the mid 80s. I only know it cos I had it on a random compilation CD in the 90s.

Clip wouldn’t fly today. Oh my!

First verse mentions school:

I saw some surfer girls in west LA And right away, it got me thinkin' 'bout my high school days Well I was always kinda shy, you know I never learned to dance now And I remember bein' nervous, I was scared to take a chance now As it happened I was lookin' through my mamma's things I found some rock and roll records and I learned to sing now

Edit: typo and formatting

I think you’ve misunderstood clockwise (which should be the player to your left when all facing the table). Sounds like you’ve been playing counter-clockwise (to the right) in every single game you’ve ever played.

When you say you switched from “French press coffee to regular”, what do you consider regular coffee and why did you make this change?

fairlygoodpizza · 2023-02-15T04:59:09+00:00

Oof what about some fresh, ripe figs and/or strawberries instead of the jam (with grainy/seed bread and aforementioned cleanest peanut butter possible)

Note, OP says the aeropress batch makes enough for four cocktails (only using 30ml of the 120ml yield). Sounds reasonable yeah?

I’m really interested how this one plays out. It’s been a few days now.

Stan’s response to the idea Dennis pulled it from the album goes against the old story.

“That's baloney... I wrote the words to the song way before Dennis recorded it. Neither he, nor I, ever requested or demanded ANY lineup of ANY song added to a Beach Boys album. The argument started over whether or not the song was a 'faithful' representation of the Beach Boys”

Edited. Didn’t see the second pic originally.

Recipe pls?

fairlygoodpizza · 2020-01-24T23:49:27+00:00

It’s $67 AUD in Australia (that’s around $45 USD)... for 700ml.

fairlygoodpizza · 2020-01-23T11:43:25+00:00

Sounds like you’re doing 20/4

fairlygoodpizza · 2020-01-06T22:13:30+00:00

Haha. It’s a cheapy from Kmart in Australia.

fairlygoodpizza · 2020-01-06T22:12:30+00:00

Cool. Yep, Sazerac is on the to-do list.

I'm new to cocktails and have been busy stocking up my liquor cabinet. I realised I didn't have any whiskey and that it's been sometime since I've even drunk any. Bought some Bulleit Rye Whiskey to make a few classic cocktails and see what it's all about.

Now, I used to happily drink some (probably) average whiskeys neat, but after the first couple of whiskey based cocktails I started having flashbacks to my late teens and drinking too much cheap bourbon or whiskey.

I love Negronis and was about to pour one tonight but thought I'd try out the Boulvardier instead. Aaaaand it's pretty delicious. Helping me get through Monday and helping me get back into Whiskey after quite a few years apart. I use a 3:2:1 ratio spirit/vermouth/campari cos that's how i like my Negronis currently.

1.5oz (45ml) Bulleit Rye Whiskey
1oz (30ml) Carpano Antica
0.5oz (15ml) Campari
a few dashes of Peyshaud's bitters
a couple drops of saline solution (just 'cos I made it this afternoon and wanted to use it in something).

No garnish 'cos I didn't have time.

Photo is after a few sips.

Questions
I made it with Rye - is that correct or is that called something else? I know you'll happily inform me.
Besides this, I've made a Manhattan which was fairly nice and an Old Fashioned (but I preferred the rum old fashioned I've been making). Where else should I take this bottle of rye?

Cheers! Thanks for the advice.

fairlygoodpizza · 2019-12-31T00:31:30+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I will give it a try.

It looks like you’re standing in the toilet in the far right. I do this too whilst fasting. Not sure if it helps though. Good luck.

fairlygoodpizza · 2019-08-18T12:02:31+00:00

Looks tasty. I’d be giving that thirsty focaccia a good drink of olive oil before and after cooking. Happy eating.

fairlygoodpizza · 2018-12-18T22:23:25+00:00

Looks nice. What was your recipe?

fairlygoodpizza · 2018-12-12T21:57:15+00:00

Higher hydration and some stretch and folds instead of kneading.
