biodork Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Sorry to hear that. That's a serious handicap.Me? Robitussin DM, I believe it to be a 2012 brew, and not the 2011 stuff. 2012 seems to be a "strong" year, because I am taking completely normal, or less, dosage, and the dissociation I feel is somewhat amazing. Also, I'm pretty sure that I'm watching baseball and posting on a hockey board, but one cannot ever be sure with the 'tussin. lol I'd forgotten to congratulate you on your earlier characterization of the vintages... well done, sir. "Add some water, shake it up... more 'tussin!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 lol I'd forgotten to congratulate you on your earlier characterization of the vintages... well done, sir. "Add some water, shake it up... more 'tussin!" I had forgotten about that earlier post. Everything is all floaty. Four doses in one week (two today and two, what, Monday? Tuesday? whatever) is enough; I hate this stuff. Plus, it interferes with normal drinking. And eating. It is horrible stuff, on par with, I don't know, heroin? I've never tried heroin. It probably feels like Robitussin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) I've never tried heroin. It probably feels like Robitussin. :w00t: I just died laughing. I'm trying Robitussin this winter if I get sick. I gotta know what this is like. Edited October 13, 2012 by d4rksabre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 McKenzie Bourbon Manhattan. After a couple tries, I've come to the conclusion that I dislike sweet vermouth. I can't quite place it, but it tastes herb-y to me. Not a fan. How much are you putting in. Whenevr I hear a Manhattan is 3:1 or (God forbid) 2:1 I die a little. Pour as much whiskey as you want, then just splash enough vermouth in so that you can barely notice a color change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pour as much whiskey as you want, then just splash enough vermouth in so that you can barely notice a color change. 3-1 is good. The key is good bitters. So many bartenders in Buffalo don't use any at all unless you ask. Criminal, I say. ######, I am too sensitive to medicines. bio, try 3-1 whisky to cough syrup, and skip the bitters. That should work out really nicely for everyone. Also, please take pictures. Edited October 13, 2012 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 McKenzie Bourbon Manhattan. After a couple tries, I've come to the conclusion that I dislike sweet vermouth. I can't quite place it, but it tastes herb-y to me. Not a fan. That would most likely be because vermouth is made with distilled wine and aromatic herbs. How much are you putting in. Whenevr I hear a Manhattan is 3:1 or (God forbid) 2:1 I die a little. Pour as much whiskey as you want, then just splash enough vermouth in so that you can barely notice a color change. Your Manhattan ratios are like mine. Add a few dashes of bitters and we're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a few dashes of bitters and we're good. :thumbsup: Add a couple of drops of cherry jiuce and every sip is like Christmas morning. I've recently been dabbling with the perfect Manhattan (same ratios but half sweet/half dry vermouth and a lemon twist, for those that don't know). I haven't found "my" mix yet, but when I'm in the mood for something not as sweet, they're great. And I love the TPBs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 How much are you putting in. Whenevr I hear a Manhattan is 3:1 or (God forbid) 2:1 I die a little. Pour as much whiskey as you want, then just splash enough vermouth in so that you can barely notice a color change. The recipe I found was 4:1 (2 oz whiskey to 1/2 oz vermouth), but I don't think I was terribly accurate in my pours. I may try it one more time with less. That would most likely be because vermouth is made with distilled wine and aromatic herbs. Your Manhattan ratios are like mine. Add a few dashes of bitters and we're good. That makes a great deal of sense. :blush: 3-1 is good. The key is good bitters. So many bartenders in Buffalo don't use any at all unless you ask.

That's enough. Then there's s'mores involved, apparently. And what is PB?And yeah, I'm laughing!Tonight: An amazing carbonara at Aroma; the date had an equally amazing pasta with mushrooms and sausage. The dessert was something chocolate with a becoming-too-predictable sea salt topping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dessert was something chocolate with a becoming-too-predictable sea salt topping. PB is peanut butter, lol. Basically had rolled oats with peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows (hence the smores description). I didn't feel like cooking real food when I got home, so this was kind of dessert/dinner. Yours sounds tasty, though. Hopefully no more 'tussin for you. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) LOVED that show! That chick who played Bonnie was kind of hot. Oh, Chips. I was wracking my brain trying to think of a show called Scoops or Sunday Funday. P.S. Surprisingly, Tops store brand salsa (thick and chunky with black beans and corn) is good. Then again, is there bad salsa? Edited October 15, 2012 by PASabreFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hopefully freeman is / will be eating some cake and icecream. Happy Day to you sir. Hope it's a good one.
