Eh, it comes in a nice package, which IMO is a good thing for a Christmas gift. In that price range, I far prefer Jack Daniels myself (also often regarded as swill), and in higher price ranges... well, I’m not gonna be buying top shelf whiskey for a gift except for a very few people.

You know what’s a better gift than whiskey stones? Whiskey. A bottle of crown royal will (should) warm any man’s heart.

They’re not patenting an art style. They are patenting tools, software, and methods.

Moses Lake, actually. And I made the choices I did largely on price; this is what my local liquor store was able to get for me in large quantities without over-straining our already-tight wedding budget. I do like Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Riesling in general, more than others I’ve tried (which admittedly isn’t a ton),…

I mean, it’s not like I ordered a different number than I meant to or anything. But when I was estimating how much booze to buy, I totally forgot to account for how many people at my wedding would be non-drinkers for one reason or another.

I can microwave my deviled eggs and spinach dip and you can’t stop me.

Well, I probably spent a good $700 on booze more than I needed to in a time when money was tight in the days leading up to the wedding, so yeah, I’d call it a mistake. Totally misestimated the amount my guests would drink, forgot to account for mormons, children, and other non- or light-drinkers in my calculations.

I still have several cases of Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling and Dark Horse Pinot Noir leftover from my wedding (I may have bought 2-3x as much alcohol as I needed by mistake). Chances of me serving anything else this Thanksgiving are slim to none, regardless of what’s actually the best choice.

My absolute favorite wine, Chateau Ste. Michelle’s Riesling, is pretty cheap. In fact, I like it better than several more expensive Rieslings that I’ve had.

Update: (hehe)

Would it be germane to use frozen sausage patties instead? What if it isn’t, and I do it anyway?

I’m curious about how one could even halve this.

Go to the principal’s office. This recipe does not resemble buffalo sauce, and such blatant abuse of ketchup is worth a three day suspension at the very least.

Well, since I didn’t have an ice cream maker at the time, I just took some vanilla ice cream and drizzled on some Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wing Sauce (not my absolute favorite buffalo sauce, but the best I can get in my little nowhere town) much like one might drizzle chocolate syrup. It... didn’t work out. I felt…

The thing about a great buffalo wing sauce (my condiment of choice) is that you don’t have to use it just for wings. You can put it on burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, pot roasts, pork chops, curry, or even frozen burritos, and reasonably expect pretty good results

I know, you quoted me in it. I remember being surprised at the time to see a comment of mine get spun into a whole article. :P

Now, I could bust out the arguments about fresh mustard greens, but I suppose I should concede that not everybody loves a strong, pungent sandwich the way I do.

It was no match for a proper outdoor picnic with a basketful of skewers (and sandwiches and maybe capri sun). But during the wintertime, I think it was probably the best we were gonna manage.

I’m such a heathen. The last picnic I had was just KFC on a blanket in the living room.

I had a similar argument to the one in that Reddit thread with a friend of mine, except about mac and cheese instead of grilled cheese. He contends that putting anything in mac and cheese other than macaroni noodles, cheese, milk, and butter, is blasphemous. I argued that I don’t care, putting zucchini and some…
