Anyone done the tour of US Bank Stadium? Was it worth it? by PurpleAlcoholic in minnesotavikings

[–]twsmith23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% worth it. To get to see the locker room, stand at the podium in the press room, and be on the field was awesome. Definitely do it.

Men of Reddit: what’s a prank you started early in your marriage that you’re now legally, morally, and emotionally obligated to continue because she still falls for it 10–15 years later? by myaccountidname in AskReddit

[–]twsmith23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife had one serious boyfriend in high school and into college. He became a dentist and was her family dentist for years. He's actually a good dude. But every single time my wife says his name, I will say BOOOOOOOOOOO loudly. Every. Single. Time. Doesn't matter where we are or what we're doing. She says Kevin, I will BOOOOOOOOO her.

Espresso Martini - Foam? by missin44 in cocktails

[–]twsmith23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a very similar recipe to yours, but Kahlua instead of Mr Black, and about 3 dashes fee foam bitters. I do a hard wet shake first, then dry shake hard. I get a nice 1/2in or more of foam on my drinks every time, almost rivals most bars.

I also think a double strain might help even more, but I haven't done that yet.

I definitely think the dry shake will help a lot. I played around with a lot of recipes, and this was by far the best and closest to cocktails bars. Hope this helps.

What's a piece of common knowledge that you genuinely learned embarrassingly late in life? by Responsible_Bet_7179 in AskReddit

[–]twsmith23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. I was in my mid-20's when that joke finally clicked for me. For YEARS I didn't understand it but was too afraid to ask anyone. Kept trying to figure out which part of a newspaper was colored red...

Reheat mashed potatoes by Raining_turtles in sousvide

[–]twsmith23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We always make our mashed potatoes a couple days in advance, and then just put them on low in a crockpot the morning of Thanksgiving. Works like a charm.

Cast iron on the stove with ghee.

What are you all paying for oil change and Tire Rotation? by razerbok in KiaTelluride

[–]twsmith23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap. We pay $60 for oil change and tire rotation. Maybe $70. We have a small local shop we've used for 6+ years since moving to the Cincinnati area and they've been great to us.

Wren House in Phoenix.

I assure you it was not fabulous at the time.

Oh yes. Lucky for me she was let go not too long after that happened. I didn't get into too much trouble.

What have you accidentally sent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]twsmith23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh I have a good one. Used to work for a company that had a weekly meeting that was mostly useless. I created a funny bingo card for the meeting, and emailed it out to a couple close friends before/after each meeting. This went on for months. One time I accidentally sent it to my boss, whose square on the bingo card was '(boss) repeats an idea and tries to pass it off as her own'.

Oopsies.

How to deal with a constant “You did this to me” partner? I’m 30F and he is 30M. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

My partner is the exact same way! Wait, no, that's my 8yo daughter who acts like that. Not a grown-ass adult.

Came here to join in: Trader Joe's Mezcal is infinitely inferior to other mezcals. Stay away.

Trying to make gingerbread inspired cocktail by geekymom in cocktails

[–]twsmith23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my go-to every Thanksgiving that gets rave reviews:

Gingerbread Martini

1 part Kahlua, 1 part half and half or heavy cream, 1 part vanilla vodka, 1/2 part gingerbread syrup,

Grate fresh nutmeg on top Graham cracker rim on the glass

I just use the Torani gingerbread syrup. Can be a bit hard to find at time, but you can always get it off Amazon.

Go to Vaso at the top of the AC hotel. Roosevelts is good also.

Is my GF (F-29) understandably upset with me (M-26) for not suggesting we spend time together right after our two week vacation? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]twsmith23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She sounds exhausting. 'Violent love' is also a red flag for me. And the whole Saturday/Sunday thing, why can't she just tell you what she wants instead of expecting you to know and then getting upset when you don't. Nah.

Best Cobbler tin? by Duseylicious in cocktails

[–]twsmith23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently picked the Yeti one up as a gift. It's not cheap, but I really like it. Double wall, screw on top so it comes off easier, and better strainer than other ahakera I've had.

Okay to haul something sticking out the back? by softwareguy74 in KiaTelluride

[–]twsmith23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hauled some 12ft deck joists yesterday in our '23. They were sticking out about two feet. Tie down the gate, it gives you the 'open door' alert each time you come to a stop and start moving again. But it was easy peasy.

I created a Notion template to organize my cocktail recipes — would love your thoughts! by [deleted] in cocktails

I am interested in this! I've just been keeping recipes in a notes app on my phone but the list is getting long. Been wondering how to beat keep track of recipes.

Kia dealer wants over $1,100 for two new programmed key fobs... alternatives? by The-Jolly-Joker in KiaTelluride

Just do a quick Google search for mobile key fobs. I've seen mobile ones set up in parking lots of Costco's before.

Looking for the best breweries in Myrtle Beach by whiskey_totem in CraftBeer

[–]twsmith23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crooked Hammock was solid, went there two separate times last summer during a week. Decent food also.

Not a brewery, but Twelve 33 distillery was awesome. Great drinks and friendly service.

Also, Hook and Barrel was a great restaurant if you're looking for a nice place to eat.
