A full, industrial restaurant-grade wet bar for my basement or backyard. I don’t need or want fancy granite/wood countertops, precious little ice buckets with tongs, or any expensive gadgets like a rabbit corkscrew. I just want the exact setup I had when I actually worked as a bartender—soda gun, easy-clean stainless…

I think perhaps the reason they held off on giving her the results was that they were waiting to see if they could change her mind. If they couldn’t, maybe they would try telling her she wasn’t pregnant, hoping that by the time she figured out the ruse it would be too late to get an abortion. I’ve heard of CPCs doing…

That is...disturbing. But thank you for broadening my horizons.

Oh, man. That brings back a repressed memory. I was 20 and traveling in Europe and super excited to be able to drink. I went into a bar in Ireland and thinking I was hot shit, ordered a martini. Well, it came out in a wine glass, but I reasoned that Europe just doesn’t have as much of a cocktail culture and might not…

On the annoying scale, people who repeatedly send you away because they can't decide what to order fall somewhere between the "can we have a booth? No, a bigger booth?" people and the "cook my steak until it's tender!" idjits, depending on the circumstances. If the restaurant isn't busy, if at least one member of the…

Like...with vermouth? Olives? I mean, we used to serve a “margatini” which had the basic ingredients of a margarita but in more martini-like proportions (I think it was 2 oz of top shelf tequila, a splash of Cointreau, and just a squeeze of lime juice) and it was damn good, but I assume that’s not what was going on…

Hey now, I’m allergic to gin and tonic, but I could drink tonic and gin all day. God bless Billy Joel!

designing for virtually identical stick-straight figures is miles easier than anything else

I feel like there should be a poll with a list of traditions, where people can vote “yes” or “no” on each. Half of the things people are talking about here I’ve never even heard of (and not just those traditions specific to another culture. Seriously, WTF are entrance dances?)

I refused to do the bouquet/garter toss or most of the structured dances at my wedding (just first dance and father/daughter- my dad and I are great dancers and it meant a lot to him :)).

I’m annoyed with your fiance and would like to address him directly. Look, ballsmcgee, I don’t give a shit if you don’t give a shit about the details. The details aren’t necessarily important in that it doesn’t matter whether you go with angel food or devils’ food cake, but it does matter in the sense that a decision…

I might have liked this better if it were a little more personal. Like “this cup was broken when I woke up not even hungover but still drunk and tried to make coffee and the day just went downhill from there.”

“Winging it” used to mean making do is not unique to Australia. We say that here in the States, too, so American Jezzies don’t need a primer. It’s also pretty clear from the context that’s not what he’s saying.

Do active duty service members even go to hair stylists? I thought they did that stuff on base.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it not milk.

Confession: I’m actually really turned on when other women hit on my boyfriend. There’s probably a whole field of evo-psych devoted to the study of “females who want what other females want” or whatever and a whole kink/porn community behind this thing, but honestly IDGAF. I just smile smugly and enjoy the show when…

I’m not saying it would be the same. I’m saying water + powdered milk = milk, not water. To recap, the OP claimed that: milk + syrup > water + powder [where powder obviously contains powdered milk in addition to sugar, cocoa, and God knows what else b/c it’s Tim Horton’s.] I said, no, actually: water + powder [again,…

Did you not follow the link? The head chef of Chipotle has stated publicly that their guacamole is made by hand using a potato masher in the restaurants. That would be a pretty stupid thing to say if it weren’t true, because it’s not that much of a selling point on its own, and one of their employees would likely…

Supposedly they do mash them by hand, using a potato masher, which I deem equivalent to a fork (just less efficient when you’re only mashing 2-3 avocados at a time, as I do.) http://www.popsugar.com/food/Chipotle-…

I’m skeptical, especially since you don’t seem to acknowledge the existence of black coffee, which is the proper way to enjoy it. But if I’m ever offered hot chocolate prepared as you suggest, I will not clobber the person offering it to me.
