Maybe if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to use apple TV, they could actually make some of that money back? I really wanted to see Severance and a few other things that were on apple TV. So we decided we would wait for season 1 to end so we could binge all the things we liked and then possibly explore what else they had and decide if we wanted to keep it or not. I have never been more frustrated over using a streaming service in my whole life. We were watching via browser and we tried several browsers and they all had the same problems. It just kept not registering that we were logged in and would make us go through tons of hoops to log in each time and would even lock us out of the account sometimes while attempting to log in again. For reference, this wasn't a free trial or anything, we were paying for the service and it just didn't work. We came back a few months later to watch season 2 and the experience was somehow worse. Nearly unusable. Why would I ever pay for that? So I think after this last try, we're completely done with it. I loved Severance, but it's honestly so bad that I won't be watching season 3.

My dog is the most cowardly dog I've ever met. All I would have to do is bring the toy he is afraid of. All the other dogs will either ignore it or want to play with it. But my dog will recognize the scary toy and cower. I got him that toy for Christmas and it was a really nice expensive toy. Same brand as all his other toys he loves. But for whatever reason, he's scared of it. So I gave it to my parent's dogs who think it's just the best toy they've ever seen.

Chicago has been excellent about this. If the people say a bike lane is needed, they will very likely put it in. The only issue that really gets in the way is the privatized parking meter issue. We really shot ourselves in the foot with that one. Still, I only ever see bike infrastructure get better in Chicago every day. There are even some streets that are being made permanent pedestrian only areas which I'm stoked about!

It's always funny when I get an email at work that starts with "Dear ____, I hope this email finds you well."

Ok but in all seriousness, as someone who's trying to find out what the fuck is wrong with me... Diabetes shares a fuck ton of symptoms with other scary things. So like... It could be diabetes, or cancer, or MS, or many more things have a nice day 🙂

I do the same to portion homemade sauces and such. I have a silicone cupcake tray where each cup is 1/2 cup of liquid. So I fill and freeze it and pop them all out into a baggie to keep frozen till I need them. Then I can make super quick dinner by grabbing a couple of pucks from the freezer and warming it up to go on pasta and grilled chicken.

This is exactly why, as a graphic designer, I'm currently trying to upskill into other areas. I have reached the peak in my career as just a graph designer and no one will want to hire me at my current salary. So for now, I work at a big evil corporation that can pay my salary while I learn skills that can maybe help me get a different job later at a higher salary. So maybe I can get a more morally sound job as something else like a project manager or something else boring, but bring my design skills with me that can help these smaller companies improve their brand and UX.

 

Walked out of a movie at the Alamo Draft House to this. Lots of people out partying after the Cubs game suddenly scrambling to get inside.

 

Mr.Brody won an Oscar time for Brodyquest!!

 

Oldie but a goodie

 

I wanted to try out the Wray & Nephew rum that @Infynis used in a previous post and I think it turned out great! It was a LOT cheaper than I expected which is always a plus!

Recipe:

  • 11/2 oz Virgin lslands Rum
  • 11/2 oz Pineapple Juice
  • 3/40z Cream Of Coconut
  • 3/40z Fresh Orange Juice
  • Fresh Grates Nutmeg Garnish
 

It's been a very long week working 10 hours days. So I'm ending it on a a sweet note with one of my favorite dessert cocktails!

Recipe:

  • 1 oz Bourbon
  • ¾ oz Mr. Coffee
  • ¾ oz demerara syrup
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ oz heavy cream (oat milk and chickpea milk work good as alternatives)
  • Nutmeg for garnish

Combine ingredients except nutmeg and dry shake (shake longer if using a milk substitute). Add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into coup glass and grate a nutmeg on top for garnish.

My personal favorite version uses barista oat milk, but I'm sure you can use whatever milk or milk alternative you like.

Gettin' too big and stretchy for its pot!

Hey everyone, I just got back from vacation and I'm super happy to see that the community didn't implode! Thank you all for being respectful while I was away and making my first mod experience a good one. I'll have to find a mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣.

 

I'm back from vacation and it looks like this community died while I was away 😭. Not to worry, my husband turned into a mad scientist and decided he needed to make angostura ice cream. Is it a cocktail? Probably not, but I'll let you decide. If you want to give this a try without making homemade ice cream, you can just top some vanilla ice cream in angostura bitters and enjoy!

Thanks everyone for being respectful while I was away! I need to get a new mod buddy before my next vacation 🤣. I'll post an actual real cocktail soon.

 

This is my husband's creation and it's quite tasty! Also I'm aware that I've posted a lot of matcha cocktails lately, but I guess that's what I've been in the mood for 🤷.

Recipe:

  • 3/4 oz. St. George spiced pear liqueur
  • 2 oz. London dry gin
  • 3/4 oz. Honey syrup
  • 1 oz. Lemon juice
  • 1 Egg white
  • 1/4 tsp. Matcha powder
  • 1 Basil leaf for garnish

Combine ingredients in a shaker and dry shake for about 20 seconds. Add ice and shake until chilled, about 10 more seconds. Double strain into a glass and garnish with a basil leaf.

Out of all the recipes I've tried, this is my absolute favorite non-alcoholic recipe from the book Regarding Cocktails! It does contain angostura bitters, but you can leave those out if you want the drink to be 100% alcohol free. But even if you don't, it contains no more than kombucha would. Excellent recipe to make in large batches that you can add soda water to when ready to drink!

Recipe:

  • 1 oz. Lemon juice
  • 1 oz. Pineapple juice
  • 1 oz. Ginger syrup
  • 1 Bar spoon of maple syrup
  • A dash of angostura bitters
  • 3 oz. Soda water

Combine all but the soda water and shake vigorously with ice. Strain into a Collins glass with a spear of ice and a straw. Carefully top with soda water. (There isn't a garnish in the book, but some suggestions I like to use include mint, cucumber, lemon peel, or candied ginger).

 

This is my first focaccia made from Claire Saffitz's book Dessert Person. Here's a video with the recipe for those interested.
