July 15, 20224 yr Oh dang I forgot a big one: crisping up fish skin on roasted fish. Especially big flakey white fish I find the fish tends to dry out before the skin crisps.

Thats what I mean, I'll do 1-2 cooking things with is but when I have family/friends over I'll do 1-2 old fashions for each person(8-10 drinks) then the girls love a "white snow martini" where you smoke rosemarry and before you know it I'm sustaining it 2 dozen times. Toasted rosemary is a good one. Dried citrus rinds as well. I also like toasting some cinnamon and star anise in bourbon drinks in the fall.
July 15, 20224 yr I make smoked ice cubes, they work pretty good for adding a subtle smokey taste to a drink.

Mexican themed, fall themed, christmas themed, where we'll cook and have cocktails to match that event. We did a smoked hibiscus margarita and it was really bleeping good. You guys are making want to have a drink already!

Huh I've never smoked a margarita. If I want smoke in it I just use mezcal. That does sound delicious though.

But yes, it was very good We have a few staples that we do like to mix things up sometimes. This was a good one we did recently (went light on the simple and added an initial dry shake of egg white): https://www.liquor.com/recipes/new-york-sour/ Also recently got into adding oyster brine or even a dash of fish sauce to martinis if you're feeling adventurous.

Sri Lanka's Parliament Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeyweardana made the announcement Friday. The country's Parliament will convene on Saturday to begin the process of selecting a new president. The country hopes to have a new president within the next seven days. Rajapaksa fled Sri Lanka Wednesday after protesters swarmed his home and other government offices. The protesters accuse Rajapaksa of stealing money from the government for years. They also accuse his administration of mismanaging the economy causing it to collapse. Rajapaksa has acknowledged that some of his policies contributed to the meltdown. Months of protests reached a frenzied peak over the weekend when demonstrators stormed the president’s home and office and the official residence of Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. On Wednesday, they seized Wickremesinghe’s office.

When it does act up, I can manage it by adding a small bit of baking soda to water and drinking a bottle of it before bed and again when I wake up. I probably need to see a doctor about it at some point to see if I should just continue to keep it in check with diet alone or if he thinks it's bad enough that I should go on some sort of meds.

I was told that it's nothing to play with and I should go get it checked out as well. That and I think I have an ulcer. Again with beer if I even have one I throw it up it makes me that nauseous

I'm usually good for several weeks before I slip up and try to push my luck. Getting old sucks.

Getting old sucks. It does, I was grilling for my parents on the 4th and I was drinking hard watermelon cider and I was completely fine. I finished those and my dad offered me a beer and I was like ok I'll have one with him .... Nope, half way through I had to dump it out and I was doubled over on the couch for the rest of the night.

Damn, that's pretty immediate then. Mine acts up in the middle of the night, or sometimes my throat just feels dry or sore the next day. Getting in the habit of sleeping on my left side only has helped too.

I didn't even know what the acid reflux was I thought it was just the normal throwing up in your mouth when you burp lol. So yeah, describing it to someone who has it told me what it was. I was like no wonder it burns my throat and is vile tatsing as hell.
