Can you ask The Powers That Be if Becca can someday host a Wonkette shindig at Hemmingway's Underground? Bet there'd be comrades from near and far, there.
Question: will I be judged harshly for the 2 coconut margs I just had? Second one ordered "strong" even though the first one packed a punch. 10 hours of driving today and in 2 days I have to meet up with my mom (85, dog bless) and watch her for 10 days. Tonight Mr. Star is here to be the DD and I'm safe at home. But if we had drink delivery around here I might have a third. Or fourth.
The fruit options were coconut, strawberry, prickly pear and mango. Tomorrow is likely a Filipino joint with a calamansa cocktail that looks straight outta what an Alice in Wonderland "drink me" tag deserves. It's been a year since I've had to be here with mom so I'm trying to enjoy again what I enjoyed most last year.
No questions. We bought some pecan smoked salt while visiting the Carolinas, and it would go perfectly with your other ingredients. We're looking forward to recipes from or inspired by your trip.
Find the pecan wood smoked salt (as well as other perfectly evaporated sea salt, in plain and lots of flavors) at hatterassaltworks.com and you won't be sorry. I don't remember what you have to spend for free shipping, but it isn't much, and if you buy only a little it's flat rate shipping that's $5 or $6.
When busy do you nonverbally communicate with the other tender and get her/his portion of his/her order that you can to affect efficiency? It's the behind the bar choreography I miss.
I tended 12 food servers and 2 cocktails and a full bar as we turned 2,000 meals on a average Saturday amongst other high volume gigs.
Maybe the best job I ever had and I've had a few bangers.
Since you asked, I'm 20 something at the time and a rock star. 12 of 14 servers were pretty young women .. go figure at the first Chili's opened in Colo. They would literally cry to come on shift to find I'm out and Cheddar is working late.
"Dry" can mean "not sweet" or "spirit forward", which are often, though not necessarily, the same thing. Brut is a drier, but not overly dry, style of champagne.
"Dry" is indeed not sweet. My son is GF. He's provided me with something called a ginger Cylser - it's about the driest thing I've ever tasted, and it's a cider/ginger thing.
For "context" I had a gay friend in college as we two were half the male contingent of U of Northern Colo. dance majors. He was a big Sean Connery critic.
Thanks for this one, Hoop! Now that I live adjacent to the hometown of tequila, Jalisco, I've got a renewed interest in margaritas. I have company coming next week. I'll hunt up the ingredients, though I may sub both the tequila and mezcal, depending. There are unlimited options here.
How is Jalisco right now? The last reports I'd heard were that the cartels and the government were in a state of warfare. That was quite a while ago, however.
Hooper, if you're reading this, then you'll gather that I was so traumatized by the term "dry margarita" that it took me a while weekend to screw up the courage to read it. Fine "dry" can mean "not sugary," but in this context it implied a margarita without tequila, which would be an abomination, a smoothie, not a cocktail. Can we come up with a better way to highlight the non-sugariness?
Imagine you are walking in your local park. You see two things directly in your path; on the right is an enormous pile of fresh reeking dog shit and on the left you have donnie himself, passed out and unconscious amid a huge pile of fast food wrappers. What do you do?
Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, advised Donald Trump not to host Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office, having called the Ukrainian president a “little fucker”, a “special-needs child” and “Mr Bean on crack”, according to a new book.
The suggestion that a US cabinet official described a world leader in such terms is included in Regime Change, a blockbusting account of the second Trump administration by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, set to be published worldwide on Tuesday.
News of Bessent’s alleged remarks may embarrass the Trump administration, although the meeting that did take place on 28 February 2025 proved outright disastrous, as Trump and JD Vance blasted Zelenskyy for not being grateful for aid in his fight against Russian invaders, and for not wearing a suit.
“‘I’ve dealt with this little fucker,’ Bessent would say to associates about Zelenskyy,” according to the book. “‘He’s tricky. He’s like the special-needs child for the Europeans. And he’s acting like Mr Bean on crack.”
The treasury department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Regime Change also contains alleged details of Bessent’s unsuccessful handling of the minerals deal. Prior to the Oval Office fiasco, the treasury secretary visited Kyiv to press Zelenskyy to sign. It did not go well.
Wait, is that the same Mr. Bean who blew up 40% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet shortly after being told that Ukraine held no cards? I never like Mr. Bean (I much prefer m. Hulot), but now that was funny!
This offends me more than it should, given all the other horrible insights into this administration. Bessent is such a smug, sneering, stick-in-ass looking mofo - how dare he pass judgment on ANYONE let alone a sincere leader battling against enormous adversity. Grrr.
A response to a letter about Assface’s coal plant initiative from the editor of my favorite local lefty fortnightly.
Trump’s Republican predecessor once said, “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.” Bush was telling the truth when he said that, though he probably didn’t consciously mean it. We wish we could say the same about this addled, overgrown Energizer Elephant with whom we’re currently stuck. A dozen times a day, it seems, this know-nothing, do-everything human wrecking ball has discovered some obscure governmental function of which we may not have even been aware, and conjured up some idiotic scheme to render it inoperable. Of course, it’s not him that’s doing it. That would imply that he’s focused and industrious. No, he’s drooling in his sleep as the hangers-on and sucker-fish surrounding him compete for his favor by ruining something new and different.
Why make a headline like this, when Israel is the nation that's attacking Lebanon. If you are so biased in favor of Israel, why not make the headline about Hezbollah.
Stupid, stupid, stupid
On the other side of the coin, WaPo has this headline:
Why bother listening to the oxymoronic "US intelligence" for such an insight?
All anyone has to do is notice that the NYT refuses to publish the photos of the piles of dead bodies in Gaza and Lebanon and the conclusion is painfully obvious.
Personally, I think anyone who thinks "US intelligence" is inept doesn't know squat about the intelligence community. The problem is that the people they report to ignore their expertise - or make up their own from unreliable sources ( remember "Curveball"? )
"...Despite warnings from the United States's Central Intelligence Agency, German Federal Intelligence Service and the British Secret Intelligence Service questioning the authenticity of the claims, the US and British governments utilized them to build a rationale for military action in the lead up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq..."
I think you missed my point. The headline writer at the NYT made it sound as if the country of Lebanon would be the ones breaking the "U.S.-Iran Deal". I know that you mean that the conflict affecting Lebanon ( the Israeli effort to eliminate Hezbollah is the "easy" reason ) will affect the deal.
As it is, I'm not sure if the second half of your statement,
"...and not the mother fuckers who are on the record as saying the other country has to be blitzed"
Indicate that you are in favor of Israel invading and bombing Lebanon. Then again, I recognize that this might be sarcasm.
"President Trump's neighbor is the billionaire nepo baby of William Cafaro whose prior accomplishments included a conviction for paying a bribe to the uber corrupt Jim Traficant, but President Trump believes in second chances."
No rest for the wicked. Prepping the bar for the Friday shift. Questions here.
I am somehow fixated on the dehydrated lime. How do you get it just the right degree of limp/worn-out?
It’s as crisp as a potato chip. They’re great in summertime as garnishes - less fresh fruit, less fruit flies.
But how do you prepare them to get them just right?
And do people understand the "dry" play on words, or wonder if there's something wrong with it?
A day in a half in a commercial dehydrator. Easy peasy. The margarita hasn’t hit the menu yet, we’ll see if the joke lands.
I will be very interested to hear more. I don't drink, but you make the subject fascinating.
Nice, we make low class mezcal ritas all summer, will be fun to compare this to our lazy version (1:1 cheap mezcal and organic jalapeño limeade)
Thanks!
"Ingredient shot. I know, the pictures of bottles with tape on them are inspiring. If and when I get a day off, I’ll put together something sexier."
OMG, you label shit?

Also too...it's the law.
Can you ask The Powers That Be if Becca can someday host a Wonkette shindig at Hemmingway's Underground? Bet there'd be comrades from near and far, there.
Asking for a friend. 😏
I like this idea.
Question: will I be judged harshly for the 2 coconut margs I just had? Second one ordered "strong" even though the first one packed a punch. 10 hours of driving today and in 2 days I have to meet up with my mom (85, dog bless) and watch her for 10 days. Tonight Mr. Star is here to be the DD and I'm safe at home. But if we had drink delivery around here I might have a third. Or fourth.
I will never tell someone they're drinking wrong.
"Just because I wouldn't do things that way doesn't mean it's wrong, let's see what happens..."
The fruit options were coconut, strawberry, prickly pear and mango. Tomorrow is likely a Filipino joint with a calamansa cocktail that looks straight outta what an Alice in Wonderland "drink me" tag deserves. It's been a year since I've had to be here with mom so I'm trying to enjoy again what I enjoyed most last year.
Mmmm, prickly pear.
<Eyes pint glass of Steel Reserve with suspicion>
"spiked blue razz" sounds... ill advised?
Never heard of it, but sounds ill advised to me too.
Thank you.
Every.
Every margarita NEEDS salt.
My 2 margs tonight were with salt. Sweet and salty and just perfect.
No questions. We bought some pecan smoked salt while visiting the Carolinas, and it would go perfectly with your other ingredients. We're looking forward to recipes from or inspired by your trip.
Oh my. I was a decade in the Cackalack...how did I never come by this?
Find the pecan wood smoked salt (as well as other perfectly evaporated sea salt, in plain and lots of flavors) at hatterassaltworks.com and you won't be sorry. I don't remember what you have to spend for free shipping, but it isn't much, and if you buy only a little it's flat rate shipping that's $5 or $6.
Damn, now I want ALL of them. :)
What I like most about the hand-labeled bottles is they're dated! Although TBH, I expected no less.
The Dept of Health doesn't take too kindly to ones that aren't labeled & dated.

Ten things at once, one at a time, Hoop.
When busy do you nonverbally communicate with the other tender and get her/his portion of his/her order that you can to affect efficiency? It's the behind the bar choreography I miss.
I tended 12 food servers and 2 cocktails and a full bar as we turned 2,000 meals on a average Saturday amongst other high volume gigs.
Maybe the best job I ever had and I've had a few bangers.
And I love you. I've never been behind the bar but beyond the bar you made my life sweeter.
Since you asked, I'm 20 something at the time and a rock star. 12 of 14 servers were pretty young women .. go figure at the first Chili's opened in Colo. They would literally cry to come on shift to find I'm out and Cheddar is working late.

Exactly. I am always reminded of John Hiatt - I'm just so easily lead when the little head does the thinking.
From context, I take it "dry" means "not sweet"? Or perhaps "low sugar"?
Another term I frequently see in conjunction with "dry" is "brut"; that means...?
"Dry" can mean "not sweet" or "spirit forward", which are often, though not necessarily, the same thing. Brut is a drier, but not overly dry, style of champagne.
"Dry" is indeed not sweet. My son is GF. He's provided me with something called a ginger Cylser - it's about the driest thing I've ever tasted, and it's a cider/ginger thing.
For "context" I had a gay friend in college as we two were half the male contingent of U of Northern Colo. dance majors. He was a big Sean Connery critic.

I did a quick search at Faux News for "Reflecting pool"
These are some of the headlines...
"Who is David Hearn? US Olympian who denies vandalizing Reflecting Pool after viral arrest"
"Trump blames vandals for Lincoln Memorial pool repairs"
"Jeanine Pirro vows DC Reflecting Pool vandals will be ‘prosecuted to the fullest extent’"
"Former Olympian arrested in connection with Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism"

Wait, is that the same Mr. Bean who blew up 40% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet shortly after being told that Ukraine held no cards? I never like Mr. Bean (I much prefer m. Hulot), but now that was funny!

I want to kick that prick so aggressively that he starts pissing through his teeth.
I would pay one dollar to see that. I'll throw in a couple of Scorpions CDs, too.

Well, I got shit to do today, sad to say. Until we meet again, here's Buddy Hackett and the duck joke:
https://youtu.be/bkLR0p4bAiQ
I LOL'd.
Hilarious.
The NYT is at it again, Here's a headline that is clearly biased:
"𝐋𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐔.𝐒.-𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫"
Why make a headline like this, when Israel is the nation that's attacking Lebanon. If you are so biased in favor of Israel, why not make the headline about Hezbollah.
Stupid, stupid, stupid
On the other side of the coin, WaPo has this headline:
"𝐔.𝐒. 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥, 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐲"
One could say this is at least as biased the other way against Israel...
Why bother listening to the oxymoronic "US intelligence" for such an insight?
All anyone has to do is notice that the NYT refuses to publish the photos of the piles of dead bodies in Gaza and Lebanon and the conclusion is painfully obvious.
Personally, I think anyone who thinks "US intelligence" is inept doesn't know squat about the intelligence community. The problem is that the people they report to ignore their expertise - or make up their own from unreliable sources ( remember "Curveball"? )
"...Despite warnings from the United States's Central Intelligence Agency, German Federal Intelligence Service and the British Secret Intelligence Service questioning the authenticity of the claims, the US and British governments utilized them to build a rationale for military action in the lead up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq..."
I get impatient with them when they warn us of obvious things like “Israel is gonna gum things up.”
Word.
yes. Lebanon is the weak link and not the mother fuckers who are on the record as saying the entire country has to be blitzed
I think you missed my point. The headline writer at the NYT made it sound as if the country of Lebanon would be the ones breaking the "U.S.-Iran Deal". I know that you mean that the conflict affecting Lebanon ( the Israeli effort to eliminate Hezbollah is the "easy" reason ) will affect the deal.
As it is, I'm not sure if the second half of your statement,
"...and not the mother fuckers who are on the record as saying the other country has to be blitzed"

I also see that Trump is blaming vandals for the paint peeling, not the Park Service employees that used hydrogen peroxide as an algaecide.

Besides, vandals just take handles . . .
Thats why the pumps stopped working!
