Elderflower liquer (knockoff St. Germain) is a cheap liquer that can be added to ANYTHING to make amazingly tasty floral drinks that also impress. My personal recipe for people who don't like sweet cocktails:

For bourbon, you can't go wrong with Four Roses as your "cheap" mixer option for all whisk(e)y situations. Hell, it's even pretty damn good straight. You can step it up for something more classy/expensive for special occasions and sipping.

And good call on the Tito's. For the price point, it's tits. Ever since I…

I think I'm probably the target demographic for these services. I've been receiving HelloFresh boxes for about 6 months and I'm very happy. I work a lot, love to cook and can afford to spend $70 for 6+ meals. I don't mind the leftovers and I find that some recipes require a bit of tweaking for my tastes (usually a…

I look at these things as a way to replace going out, which usually does cost more than the plates. It's a fun 'date night' ideal especially during the winter when we want to do something different but don't feel like venturing outside.

Wow. It hurt reading your update.

I like this Kobe idea.

Can you add to it that giving a donation is nice as well? That's why they do it.

Okay, but that green jalapeno sauce is soooooo good. It's my favorite thing to go with hash browns.

A lovely sentiment in theory but hardly useful in practice. This idea is asking people to maintain an emotional check while in potentially heated, emotionally unbalanced situations. It's also putting the burden of 'what can be said' on the opposite partner.

Leave it in your fridge overnight? Run it under a cold tap (in a clean colander or a freezer bag) for a while?

One thing I'd add to what's already a pretty comprehensive list: get a decent thermometer. You don't need to spring for a thermapen; the thermowand and thermapop are both viable alternatives, and it'll take away a hell of a lot of anxiety next time you're trying to cook a steak and sweating over whether you're going…

I had about four tough problems tossed at me at work today. It was super stressful, and I really should've prioritized them instead of trying to focus on all of them. I don't recommend trying to make everything top priority.

I have about a dozen Nalgene bottles that have since been retired by my Klean Kanteen. Granted, my KK is heavy, but it can double as a weapon when the situation arises.

Wow...really surprised Klean Kanteen didn't make the cut.

I'm a fan of an NHL team that gets almost no national exposure at all (like many of them), and back in 2000 or 2001 one of our games ended in an overtime penalty shot for the first time in league history. I was a teenager at the time, but I thought it was so cool that not only was a Predators highlight on…

Fuck cancer. RIP Stuart.

Cancer is pretty shitty

Good news is that the UPD and Tallahassee PD are investigating, so the criminals will be brought swiftly to justice.

How am I supposed to complain about how wrong you are when you only post half of them at once?

You could type up the list and leave it inside your luggage. If you travel infrequently it's best way to make sure you see that list before you start packing.
