Also, my understanding is that they pay their employees really well, and doesn’t everyone working there get health care coverage?

Or you have double fry them, once at 330-340 and once at 370-380 with a cooling-down period in between. Which is slow.

They really are doing the best they can under the rule “bring in fresh produce every day and cook it quickly.”

Sambuca, like its cousins anisette, ouzo and arak, is something of an acquired taste, not unlike anise-or fennel-flavored Italian cookies. I have found that it partners intriguingly with acidity, i.e. in a sambuca sour, and even better is to go 50/50 with amaretto and then add lemon juice until the sweetness of the…

All of the orange-flavored liqueurs are fantastic in coffee. If there’s also cinnamon involved (e.g. cafe de olla), even better.

By extension, they’re also the crowning touch to an affogato, as are most of the others on the list above (well, maybe not Campari).

Butternut squash ravioli with sage. You can grate amaretto cookies over this, but a dash of amaretto in the sauce boosts the nutty note.

Also, it’s clearly not night.

Excellent summation of the chronology. Worth adding also that a lot of the final dissolution of the band was over a business disagreement about management, i.e. Paul’s wanting to bring in Linda’s father Lee Eastman to do the job versus the three others lining up behind Allen Klein.

A few years ago I started making my own pickles (don’t judge me) during the summer, for picnics and such. There’s no vinegar in these, just cucumbers, water, salt, cloves of garlic, fresh dill and various spices. Kosher deli-style, if you will. They take about three or four days.

Well, as it turns out, no one else in…

Franklin’s body will lie in honor ... in a gold casket.

Buford T. Injustice.

Human vices get puppet equivalents—primarily sugar, blown in rails or guzzled in maple syrup

Is that a recipe you’d be able to share?

Coffee is used in things like this because the flavor bolsters chocolate (c.f. putting espresso powder in brownies) and because the bittering lets you back off from the hops a bit and still end up with something balanced and drinkable instead of just cloying.

Barrel-aging also will bring some caramel-vanilla notes to…

“Futurama, but fantasy,”

If only Papa Denny and Mama Michelle could step in and take over.

The others are an ABBA turd.

I’m sure there will be no shortage of commentors here telling you how wrong they think you are, but I want to be one of the voices you hear that says this: I agree one hundred percent with your reasoning and your conclusions.

I home-brew a cream ale and it is consistently the most popular tap in my kegerator, particularly with guests who don’t consider themselves “craft beer enthusiasts.” For them, it’s like a better version of the standard supermarket lagers (Budweiser, etc.) that they’re used to.

I would also dispute that it’s difficult…

Probably wouldn’t hurt to have this in Spanish as well.

There’s a three-valve trombone that’s used a lot in traditional Mexican bands and some jazz combos. It offers at least two advantages: (1) trumpet players can switch over to it and play fast without having to learn new fingerings, and (2) its length never changes, so when space is limited you don’t risk poking the…
