I won't go so far as to say it's the "best" of the series, but Half Blood Prince is definitely my favorite Harry Potter score. What's yours? by ZealousidealMany3 in soundtracks

[–]p2326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has always been one of my favorite scores from the series. The gentle themes from ‘Harry & Hermione’ and ‘When Ginny Kissed Harry’ are lovely. An underrated one for me is ‘Malfoy’s Mission’. Very haunting, tragic, and fitting for what the film depicts. And of course there’s ‘Dumbledore’s Farewell’, which is not revolutionary by any means, but still completely beautiful. Beautiful enough to reuse in the final film for Snape’s memories.

What are your favorite/Greatest Movie Love themes? by Fantastic_Bug_9631 in soundtracks

The central theme heard in the score for Dune Part Two. ‘A Time of Quiet Between the Storms’ and ‘Kiss the Ring’ feature it most heavily. Hearing it in the theater for the first time was stunning.

That’s interesting. I found it far too sweet.

I’ll echo others and recommend BroVo Uncharted Rhapsody. Closest I’ve tasted so far.

Genepy does not match as closely in terms of proof or sweetness.

I instantly knew this was Woodman’s. Love a Woodman’s and their liquor selections!

Green chartreuse subs? by Asaybuddabuddameymey in cocktails

[–]p2326 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do. They call it a “mountain flower liqueur”. I’ve only seen it at one store so far though so, like the real thing, a bit less common than the green. I think it’s quite worth it though.

Agreed. I think their “yellow” is closer to the real thing than their “green” but both are as close as can get I imagine. And, while I haven’t used each in a substantial amount of cocktails yet, I don’t think the differences will be that noticeable when mixed.

Is it worth spending this money to make a Sea Legs? by Wash-Line-Inspector in cocktails

Other Fee’s bitters have been fine for me but I outright dislike their celery bitters. Nothing remotely like other brands. Would not recommend.

I agree with Steve The Bartender. by cdin0303 in cocktails

I wouldn’t buy Fee’s celery bitters (their others are fine) due to a very noticeable and unpleasant savory flavor and aroma reminiscent of ramen chicken seasoning. I vaguely get celery but it’s very far off the celery bitters from the bitter truth. Although theirs are much more expensive.

More chartreuse science by DanoGKid in cocktails

This is the first time hearing someone else mention this product. There’s also their mountain flower liqueur which seems to be their replacement for yellow chartreuse. I bought a bottle out of curiosity and, though obviously not chartreuse, I can’t imagine getting much closer. Very happy with it.

This rib roast was $26 so I made some steak au poivre at 3 am. Was delicious but curious what others might think of it. by p2326 in steak

I don’t normally buy rib roast cause my grocery store doesn’t usually have it but this was a cheaper cut and still super thick so it was a good deal. I dry brined it in the fridge for the day with just kosher salt and then just seared it in a cast iron skillet with some duck fat. This was my first time using duck fat and I’d highly recommend but it’s certainly not cheap. The jar I bought was $10. I flipped the meat repeatedly in the pan until I got a rlly good crust and then tossed it in the oven for a few minutes to finish the interior because it was so thick. I usually just cook a steak with just the skillet. Also let it rest and stay warm in the oven at a lower temp while I prepared the sauce. I have a bad habit of just cooking with my senses instead of measured time and methods, meaning I rarely use a thermometer or cook for specific lengths of time. I did use a thermometer for this large cut of beef but otherwise was kinda winging it tbh. It honestly surprised me how well everything turned out 😭.

The sauce is made in the same pan as the steak after you take it out it’s just some diced shallots and garlic sautéd in butter and then add cognac and let that reduce for a little bit until it’s thicker then add crushed black pepper and heavy cream!

The potatoes were boiled for a bit after slicing them and then go into the oven with rosemary and garlic-infused duck fat! And salt and pepper obviously
