That Moment...

I liked having the typical American breakfast made for me ALL THE TIME. That is awesome.

I just don't like the typical American breakfast pancakes that much. I don't dislike them... they're just topped by other breakfast foods.

Most of the time.

 

TMW when you actually end up finding that song you were looking for by not looking for it at all.

 

I was close

 

TMW...well, we'll get to it. I saw a drink recipe in the WaPo for a "quarantini."

I'm always up for trying something new, let's see what it is:

• 1.5 oz of your favorite gin or vodka
• 0.5 oz Lillet Blanc
• 1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
• Stir and strain with a lemon twist

Now for the annotated results:

• 1.5 oz of your favorite gin or vodka: Got both options, great!
• 0.5 oz Lillet Blanc: What's that?
• 1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters: Is that different from Angostura bitters? Cuz that's the only kind we have here
• Stir and strain with a lemon twist: Nope, supermarket is closed already

So, TMW it's a bottle of Bombay Sapphire, bottoms up!

 

Wait, how else do you drink a martini?

 

My question exactly, but my answer is I don't. Give me whiskey on the rocks. Straight up.

 

Wild Turkey 8?

 

Hell yeah! Used to buy rounds of this at bars for me and my friends. The wake up call, that knocks you out.

 

Writer's Tears. My dad brought me a minibar bottle from his trip abroad and I fell in love.

 

Like James Bond. Obviously.

 

Q gave them to me.

Don't ask.

 

I didn't know this! Thank you. I meant the straight up as more "straight up whiskey," because I don't really like much else when it comes to alcohol. Now when the bars open up again, I'll know not to say "straight up" and look like a fool.

Oh! I also like Guinness... I think. I don't go out much for drinking. I prefer it in the comfort of my own company.

 

TMW you consume so much sugary food that you feel sick.

TMW you conclude that you should know better at your age.

 

Me too, though I haven't tried the Guinness Blonde yet,
do you know if it is any good?

 

I have no idea. I know nothing about it, but I am intrigued!

I also drink Woodchuck from the tap if I'm at a bar. It's gross from a bottle.

 

I guess I'll hazard it and see what it is like.

ETA Update: It is an amber that tastes like a hoppy Guinness.
Not bad, just a little different from the Stout.

 

Might still have two fingers left of the bottle I got on my 21st. Might be time to finish it.

 

They say the best Guinness is at the original Irish brewery in Dublin.

Though on account of me not being a drinker, I can't vouch for the above claim.

 

I've had it. Didn't notice a huge difference, but I'm only an occasional Guinness drinker so the subtleties were probably lost on me.

TBH I honestly use Guinness mostly for stew, chili, and curry. Awesome flavors there.

 

That moment when you're reading what seems like an authoritative source on a controversial issue (nope, not going to say which one) and suddenly the author drops a major shibboleth-bomb.

Guess I can remove that from my list of impartial pages.

 

TMW when you realize you have no idea what "Shibboleth" means and feel like you ought to.
