The only other one my liquor store carried was Ri, and that was like $50 per bottle.
Yeah, Ri1 is a bit overpriced. Good stuff though. Old Overholt is a great mixing rye though, and, ahem, wicked cheep, so it's a great buy. Keep an eye peeled for Sazerac 6 year -- it should be fairly common.
What cocktails have you been making with it? I've been unwinding most nights with an old-fashioned (I use angostura, peychaud's, and grapefruit bitters in my old-fashioneds) and I love sazeracs, sunset parks, and rye smashes.
If you're gonna eat Tex-mex then perhaps Texas would be the place to eat it.
Maybe I'll try it while I'm down there in March.

I was apparently a drunken mess on Saturday, and now several people know some things that I would prefer they did not. In fairness, I know they're not going to use it as leverage about me.... but still.

Well, for posterity and in celebration of the nigth, a re-post of Address to a Haggis:
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit:
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.
Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!
So this week is turning out to be worse than I thought it'd be. I got assigned to... something at the last minute today. I need to go do something with another company at 0530 tomorrow morning. I just wasn't told what I'd be doing or what I'd need to bring or who to report to.
Doc, that was more aimed at the other two. To be honest asexual age play strikes me as genuinly unhealthy. Like significantly more so then if it was just an odd kink.
If you're gonna eat Tex-mex then perhaps Texas would be the place to eat it.
Maybe I'll try it while I'm down there in March.
Where are you going in Texas?
I have to go to a wedding. Flying into DFW, but stuck spending all of my time there in Abiline, which is worse than a lot of Texas, which is really saying something.

Ok, I have resolved. I shall make a cook a batch of brandied cherries (I have a bottle of calvados which I never use) and I will make preserved maraschino cherries for future consumption.

It could be worse. You could be going to Lubbock.
We tried to fly into Lubbock, but it was going to be too expensive and take too long.
God, I hate that state.

I was drinking with a Yank who passed out at 11:30. Lightweight of a country.

Almost as bad as Floridian.

I might use maraschino liqueur in mine to make real marschino cherries

Nothing wrong with Tex-mex than.

Then you must learn the rule of Tex-mex. The rule is this:
The more run down the place looks, the better the food is.
Where are you going in Texas?
I saw The Lovely Bones and it was atrociously bad. Now I read this article.

What the fuck, adolescent girls. Get some fucking taste. Or at least go back to liking mediocre rom-coms.

Abilene.
To be fair, the movie adaptation was an abortion of the book.
It sounds like a win-win in my book.
That's pretty far from where I'll be in Texas in early March.
It could be worse. You could be going to Lubbock.
God, I hate that state.
It amounts to the same thing, though.
Pretty sure it was Hillary Duff.

I am shocked as well.
Wait till you get to season two.
--Famous old person

To be fair to who? Me? The critics who thought it was awful?
The problem is that teenaged girls are going to see it in droves and terrible supernatural love stories might become a thing in hollywood.
I was born there.
