Can attest as I am part of said labyrinth. My job is mostly stable, but I truly feel it's not necessary in the grand scheme of things and I'd gladly give up my job if I knew we could all have universal health care. For reference, I'm a graphic designer deep down in the medical system and so far removed from anything useful that they continually have to remind us of our "usefulness" and say things like "it can be easy to lose sight of our greater impact". Bro I make power points that help the sales team sell services to different states and/or buy up smaller med companies. How the hell is this helping the lady over there afford breast cancer treatment?

I genuinely don't know how chipotle has survived this long when excellent family run Mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen all over the country and are super cheap to boot. I've tried it a few times and just never understood what people liked about it that you can't get at your local Mexican joint.

The feeling is even better when they let you go because you no longer have a moral obligation to transition anything over to your coworkers. You can just fuck off and not feel bad. This typically highlights all the holes in management when they are ineffective at delegating your tasks and things get dropped. My husband witnessed this happen recently. They let an employee go nearly a year ago, then a client started sending emails wondering what was happening to their project and why there hadn't been communication.

A long time ago I was able to step outside the morning after an ice storm. It was sunny, and everything looked like glistening glass. Every tree, bench, light pole, etc. it was one of the most beautiful but eerie things I've ever seen. And yes, it's quite dangerous. The weight of the ice compromises the integrity of an awful lot of unexpected things and ice all over the sidewalks doesn't help either.

Do you know how hard it was for me to buy a Prius? First we looked at dealerships, none of which had any to test drive so they kept stealing us toward their SUVs and Trucks. Then we went to the Chicago auto show where we could look at whatever the fuck we wanted and confirmed we would in fact like a Prius. Then we started calling up dealerships to ask if they had a Prius to test drive until we finally had a "lucky winner". We drove out to the dealership, test drove the car, argued with them about what we actually wanted, and then finally signed papers and gave a down payment on a car. The. We waited 6 months for delivery and a recall lift. In total it took us 9 months to get our small little Prius. Other small cars were in a similar situation. However, if you waltzed into any dealership and asked for a giant truck, you could buy one that day with no interest! I know so because my father in law did just that the same year we got our Prius. Quite sad really.

When I recently went off my medication, I would have random days where I was incredibly depressed as my body was trying to return to normal. The first day we moved into our house I started crying because I missed my dog who was staying with my parents temporarily. Without saying anything, my husband ran to the store and got me a pint of Jenny's darkest Chocolate ice cream. And we ate the whole pint together. No judgement, just love.

The article says this also applies to auto parts. Many of which are made outside the US. This means that even if you buy a car from a US auto maker, tariffs will apply. This also means if you already bought a foreign car, that your insurance will likely increase. This helps no one but Elon who I hate to admit, made the smart move of prioritizing US manufacturing for Tesla. Something I think more companies in the US should do, but here we are.

 

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
  • ΒΎ oz Mr. Coffee
  • ΒΎ oz demerara syrup
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Β½ 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.

 

Got a hold of some Chartreuse this weekend and had to make this classic!

Recipe:

  • 3/4 ounce gin
  • 3/4 ounce green Chartreuse
  • 3/4 ounce maraschino liqueur
  • 3/4 ounce lime juice
  • brandied cherry for garnish

Shake with ice and strain into a Nick and Nora glass. Garnish with cherry and enjoy!
