MattPie Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Had a lemon basil martini last night. While I've never been one to shy away from the tried and true original, I have to admit it was really good. It wasn't too sweet to get in the way. Lemon Basil Martooch.jpg Sounds good, I've had a couple basil cocktails but not that one. As a note on the bakers sugar, I think you can put regular white sugar in a food processer to make it finer-grained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Tried 2 Nite Sicilian Blood Orange vodka this evening: http://www.proof66.com/vodka/2-nite-blood-orange-vodka.html The bottle may look like a leftover prop from Carrie, but the contents are fantastic. Smooth and sippable over ice, and the flavor holds its own with cranberry juice, too. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Heated some frozen pulled pork for dinner on Wednesday, Peruvian chicken(take out) last night...both were greatly enhanced by the home made pickled red onions I put on top. I always have a mayo jar filled with them....they just make everything better! Wonder if there is a market to sell them commercially ?

Derrico Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've got some Rolling Rock in the beer fridge and some lamb chops waiting for me to cook when I get home. I think I'll make a rosemary garlic breading for them. Some roast potatoes and vegetable medley should pair nicely. Two more hours......two more hours......

Although I guess anything smoked with a good bbq rub and then sauce should turn out pretty delicious. Where'd you get the idea to use spam??

Had to give it a try. We'll see how it turns out. Wife turned her nose up at the idea and said no. I said it's my day I'll do what i want.

Weave Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I have to say, the SPAM was better than expected. I'll call it down right tasty. It's salty. Very salty. But it was damned tasty. The family enjoyed it. I made two cans of it. 15 people. No leftovers. nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The family enjoyed it. I made two cans of it. 15 people. No leftovers. nuff said. After you did what you did to it, I am surprised it wasn't pork flavored salt. I just ate what my local sports bar (Thirsty Buffalo, a/k/a the old Jimmy Mac's) calls a "Manhattan ice cream truffle." They can call it Susan if they want to, but it was great. Cherries and almonds surrounded by chocolate and vanilla ice cream, and sealed in dark chocolate. About 4 oz, I'd say. Like the size of a normal cupcake. This is why I get up at 630 on Monday to see a trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So somewhat food and drink related. Are there any places around here where I might be able to go after work during the week to sit at a table in a corner by myself and have a few beers and read a book and no one will bother me?

woods-racer Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Chiavetta's chicken with a bunch of skewered red potatoes and skewered mixed vegetables. And I am drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade, just cause it was in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a coffee shop in Clarence Center I've always been fond of. They have beer. It'll probably be the first place I try. Founding Fathers would be perfect if it wasn't down town. That's too long to sit in rush hour traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Anyone ever take up an Omaha Steak offer with burgers, dogs, chicken, etc.? Holy , it's good stuff. I don't think I'd pay the premium for it (I got this nice combo of all sorts of meats for filling out a freaking survey that took 5 mins tops) but they do have nice stuff.

Weave Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Williamsville I got nuthin neighborhoody. Been out too long. If I were looking for quiet I'd look for either a neighborhood joint or a nice-ish restaurant with a detatched bar, like maybe Scotch and Sirloin on Maple. What about the Blue Bull? Is that a busy weekday bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their beef is perfectly aged. I have it sent to my folks. My father raised and butchered a beef every year. He was careful to age the meat enough. He appreciates the effort involved. Their product really is worth the premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the bar. i wouldn't hesitate to order an app and a beer or 3 and sit and read there for a couple hours if it wasn't busy And LOL at Blue Bull being full of DB's. It's my buddies regular Thursday after work hang out. Hey...... Shannon's on NF Blvd? Edited June 25, 2015 by weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
