Oh and everyone, let your steak sit for a while to reach room temperature before frying it, let it sit for a little while after frying it to get more warm in the center
You don't fry steak!

Btw, will you have to pick up some creme yvette. It's so much better than CdV. I wouldn't use it in an aviator, however, because it turns it a bright magenta instead of a hazy blue.
what do you use it in?
also, have you seen any real sloe gin anywhere? I hear that the real stuff is great.
I did a little celebratory cocktail with prosecco, lemon juice, and creme yvette. Easily the best champagne cocktail I've ever had, even better than the french '75. I also did it with equal parts yvette, dry vermouth, and carpano. The rosso vermouth shone through a bit too much (carpano is a stage hog) so I'll have to dial it down, but it was quite good. I'll have to try it with gin.
I've never seen real sloe gin. I debated between getting holland gin (genever, reaaaaaal old school, original gin) and old tom gin. I picked up the old tom because I have more immediate use for it. It's pretty good -- it's much more malty and bushy than london dry. However, it just REEEEEKS of gin, and I had too many bad gin nights freshman year of college, so it was hard to drink it straight without my stomach churning. I could never drink it in a martini.
Oh cool. Again NOT TERRORISM because he was white and being PATRIOTIC and DEFENDING HIS FREEDOM BY GOD
ok, the plane into the IRS building you can call terrorism. this? this wasn't terrorism....
Was the Fort Hood shooting terrorism? Because I just had to attend a federal briefing that included an "recent acts of terrorism" and it included the Fort Hood shooting.

Sometimes you can.
And a cast iron skillet is one of those times.
You only flip that fucker once though and you don't use any oils or anything.
Since you two are on a similar topic. What's a good drink for a female who hates the taste of alcohol? My girlfriend likes top shelf long islands, but anything else if you can taste the alcohol she almost gags.
try making her a sidecar. it's a respectable drink with a long history - maybe the first cocktail - and fairly gentle-tasting
2 oz cognac or brandy
1 oz triple sec (cointreau is best)
1 oz lemon juice
mix with ice. strain, serve
if you want to be fancy, you can rim the glass with sugar and serve with a twist, but i generally don't bother with these
I'll have to give this a shot, as well as the passion fruit one.

Poldy, this Kingston Station place Will wants to take us to after dinner has Sazerac. You're always carrying on about it so I figure I'll try it.
if you are new to the world of cocktails and/ or don't care for whiskey straight, i don't know that i would recommend the sazerac. it's definitely not a "starter".
it's basically rye whiskey with a little absinthe and bitters. so the difference in the taste from just drinking straight whiskey is pretty minor. it's a very strong, hot drink.

That's not frying, that's searing. Big difference.
Interesting, how is the squad play? In the first your team was just kind of there bitching at you. Can you keep your guns between levels? Is it freaking easier to spot and shoot enemies from a distance?
You keep your guns beetween levels, enemies don't have terminator sight anymore, your squad moves kind of intelligently, but they're just there as extra guns
also, every now and then you get to choose your loadout from all the guns you have collected

Like any real human being, I prefer my steak to be medium rare at most, but I also like eating hot food. I wish there were a way to heat up meat without cooking it.
There is!
run your oven at 200 degrees. real low
season your steak the way you like it
put steak in oven on wire rack for 10 to 20 minutes or so. the point of this step is to dry out the surface of the steak and soften the fats. the oven shouldn't be hot enough to actually cook the meat.
while steak is in the oven, start heating a cast-iron pan. non-stick will probably work too.
take steak out of the oven, brush with oil if desired, and throw it in the super-hot pan. since the surface of the steak is dry, it should make a nice maillard reaction and crust up without overcooking the inside of the steak.
flip steak, cook to desired level, and enjoy
knowing how long to keep the steak in the oven and how long to cook it in the pan takes a little practice and depends on personal preference and the cut of meat. but this really makes for a magnificent steak.
this
this is a good post
it works really well!
i think i got it from either alton brown or else cook's monthly

BTW, duders, I'm thinking about starting a blog. It would probably not be dedicated finding and inventing cocktails, because there's so many fantastic blogs for that. Rather, it would probably be a "Shoot out!" style, where I compare different elements and give opinions and such. My first post would probably be a sazerac shoot out, made with pastis, herbsaint, and absinthe, to see if there is a big difference. Then I would probably compare/contrast creme yvette and creme de violette, perhaps adding in parfait amour for kicks.
i'd be generally interested in this, since i am often at a loss to know which brand is better

There's nothing more satisfying then setting up c4 in the road and waiting for the silly geese to buzz along on an atv. Hitting that trigger and watching them fly...so satisfying.

Oh my gawd I remember doing this in the Operation Flashpoint sandbox mode. Just kept making convoys and plonking myself with a bunch of remote charges by the side of the road.

where did you get this information? Because the sidecar originally would have been a sling, not a cocktail.
didn't he actually have links with terrorists though?

I'm already dreading the cognac post :P
Where they do blind taste tests of recipes with different ingredients/cook ware to see if there is a difference

American Test Kitchen.
Huh, I hadn't thought of it, but yeah, it would essentially be a cocktail version of ATK.

Silly name, not a bad drink.

I used to get it without the cover so I never could remember

he had gone around the action, hoping to hit us in the ass
not on my watch
I climbed up on a roof and threw a couple of c4s on the top of his tank
damn satisfying
