Theory: he has no inclination of completing the series at all.

Or not.

With his HBO deals, Martin upgraded from a golden goose to a golden ostrich.

Huh. Cool that they're trying to foster informed dialogue on an issue that only has one right answer. It must be run or inspired by the people who are hosting informed, rational debates on other topics like whether the holocaust actually happened or whether evolution is a hoax. awesome.

Sold!

yes. Also, how well does it freeze?

ah, excellent technique that I will have to try with the wife.

Fresh Sockeye (as well as other wild salmon varieties) can tend to have parasites. Does the cure do enough to kill any worms/larva? I know making cold smoked salmon, you should stick to either farmed or frozen (cold treated), but how about gravlax?

This didn't surprise me at all. I saw the headline, and immediately thought "oh, of course he does."

That "full blast" thing was nonsense and now creates a need for the show to provide some gobbledegook explaination why the master is back when he/she returns.

So basically, it was Snowpiercer x Interstellar x Tetsuo: The Iron Man

Well, there'd be even more ROI if they docs were real. Based on the segment, it's probably a fair bet they were fake if there were fragments of printer thumbprints and things like that. There was also probably a too good to be true element in play.

Also good for spritzing yourself down before a hot date.

And I'd add, even if she were ethically/legally barred from showing it to anyone with forensic training, that doesn't make her own forensic sleuthing any more sound.

Sigh. If it were actually a classified document, that would be right. They're confident it's a fake, which is a supportable conclusion based on the information they have.

That's when Herbsaint started being substituted for absinthe in sazeracs. So yeah, there's a long history of herbsaint being used for…

herbsaint is often used in lieu of absinthe, given the history of absinthe's legal troubles in the U.S. and the inferior flavor of absente. Now that absinthe is legal, it's worth going back to the original recipe, which calls for absinthe.

I was at the bar in at the Fleur de Lys restaurant (now closed, alas) in San Francisco several years ago with a couple girls. They each ordered "Macho Martinis" which was essentially a martini spiced with habanero syrup.
I told the bartender that I needed something more macho than the macho martini, if that was…

It's actually getting pretty easy to find. Also, since it's an unaged, herbally infused liquor, there's a pretty robust domestic artisan absinthe scene. The time from production to market can be very short, assuming the distilling license is squared away.
Delaware Phoenix in update NY makes an excellent absinthe. …

Gosh. I almost screamed when I saw her toss what looked like a solid oz of absinthe.
