back deck cocktails: conquering the midwest
http://backdeckcocktails.blogspot.com/2009/09/conquering-midwest.html
Summertime outdoor (citrus-free) boozing. Is girls-gone-wild for Fernet Branca. I've spent the summer cuddling up to St. Germain. During my mega-weekend in the MSP at PBG Heather's, we introduced our respective paramours. 5 shot St. Germain. Dash or two of Fernet Branca, depending on your taste for the bitters. Stir with ample ice, top with club soda. Note: photos were taken by Peter; for obscene .gif of the meeting of the giants, see Fuck Rap You Can Have It Back. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

back deck cocktails: so much citrus! martini night with mom + dad
http://backdeckcocktails.blogspot.com/2009/08/so-much-citrus-martini-night-with-mom.html
Summertime outdoor (citrus-free) boozing. Martini night with mom dad. My parents have instituted 'martini night' on Fridays, which sometimes does and sometimes does not include actual martinis. It boils down to 'cocktail night,' frequently but not always utilizing martini barware. I went home to Iowa for the weekend without Achy, and took advantage of the citrus-positive atmosphere. . My mom had a hankering for 'lemon drops,' so we whipped up these lil babies with the bottle of Ciroc. A Dash of Bitters.

back deck cocktails: September 2009
http://backdeckcocktails.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Summertime outdoor (citrus-free) boozing. I neglected to photograph.anything last night, with the exception of this shot of Sarah finishing off the kiwi/lychee cocktail ('lycheetini'). The pitcher she's emptying out was surprisingly popular, given its less than stunning color. The tartness of the kiwis, though, disguising the surprising punch, is hard to resist. Recipe given for approx. 3/4 pitcherfull). In the blender, mix up:. The fruit of 3 kiwis. 2 shots of the syrup from the lychee can. Achy Obejas'...

Summertime outdoor (citrus-free) boozing. Prepping for a summer of cocktails. We're gonna drink well this summer. the boozing is citrus-free because achy's horribly allergic, which is cool because it's a good challenge: summer cocktails sans-citrus. Things we need: lavender simple syrup, chipotle simple syrup, angostura bitters, elderflower liqueur, agave nectar. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Achy Obejas's City Life - Vocalo. A Case of the Works.

back deck cocktails: July 2009
http://backdeckcocktails.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Summertime outdoor (citrus-free) boozing. Me, chillin' in some rolled up Crazee Wear. I discovered DRY Lavender Soda. When Achy and I were in L.A. for her book tour a few months ago. It’s pretty much the most delicious beverage I’ve ever put in my mouth, combining two things I love: bubbly water and lavender. It’s really subtle, not very sweet, pretty perfect. The same could be said for St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur. 2 shots vodka (I used Effen). 1/2 shot St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur. 1/2 tsp vanilla ...

back deck cocktails: August 2009
http://backdeckcocktails.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Summertime outdoor (citrus-free) boozing. Like so many good things, this recipe was adapted from Everyday Food. This delicious beverage was once again enjoyed on the back deck, in the night time, Achy me, Jenny Kemi, alongside some bleu-cheeseburgers. Shutup. 1/2 cup white sugar. Let these sit for 5 minutes for sugar to dissolve, then add:. 2 bottles of white wine (we used pinot grigio). 2 peaches (or similar stone fruit). 2-3 sprigs of fresh mint. Martini night with mom dad. I'd given them for Christmas.

back deck cocktails: spicy pear mojitos
http://backdeckcocktails.blogspot.com/2009/08/spicy-pear-mojitos.html
Summertime outdoor (citrus-free) boozing. These cocktails weren't consumed on the back deck - they were sucked down in bed, watching TV, exhausted. Forgive the photography. The exciting thing: we got a soda maker from SkyMall. Don't hate). Once the water is carbonated, you can add whatever you want. We got crazy and poured in some of the chipotle infused simple syrup I'd made, and voila! Surprisingly, we were kind of stumped from there about what to DO with chipotle soda. Enter Spicy Pear Mojitos.

The Raccoon Blog: 08/2008
http://theraccoonblog.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Rantings and ravings of a disagreeable old grump. Friday, August 8, 2008. It's 5 minutes until midnight on 8-8-08 as I begin writing this. I just woke up. The weather is surprisingly cool (60F) for August; it's nice. I haven't blogged in a while, I sort of decided it wasn't really my thing, and Blogger being such a P.O.S. hasn't made me very eager to use it frequently. Anyway, The Dream. I had The Dream this evening. For those who are not xkcd. Deals with the author's eye-opening experience with Lisp.
