Date: 2002-12-16 05:35 am (UTC)Second reaction: a beer is easier.
Third reaction: but I need 7 through 11... how about some leaping lords? Hm. Or I could have a chick night for dancing....

but a beer is nastier. with the partridge, you get feathers and a new cooking experience.
Third reaction: but I need 7 through 11
Would Store 24 do?
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 05:47 am (UTC)Beer is nastier. I don't drink it. It is easier to find, though. (I suppose I could try making bread out of it, after all.)(But there is that song (see Cthulhia's comment above.).)
What would I do with partridge feathers (other than give them to some gifted craft person)?
I just knew changing a - to a "through" wouldn't disguise that enough!
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 05:51 am (UTC)2) yeah i know about the turtlenecks and the beer, but i still don't like beer. (which reminds me of a post i need to make...)
3) of course not! you should always assume the worst.
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 05:56 am (UTC)2. Agreed. Beer has not been appreciated by me so far, either (but I don't know whether that's part of my greater beveragely challenged life: I don't drink coffee or soda or champagne either.)
3. You didn't mention any salami! *ducks*
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 05:57 am (UTC)2) sparkling apple cider is your friend (well, it's mine anyway)
3) you brat!
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 06:01 am (UTC)2. No fizzy drinks!
3. Argh! I lose! I can't top it (go lower?)!
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 06:12 am (UTC)2a. not even fizzy-lifting drink?
2b. more for me!
2c. well, i guess you can't have a bubbly personality. oh well.
2d. in an oddly honest bent, really? i didn't realize that.
3. i'm always willing to add some spice to your LJ.
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 06:23 am (UTC)2a. ?
2b. yup.
2c. some have already said otherwise...
2d. yeah, really. Stopped drinking soda in college (not a conscious decision, just liked water/juice more), then found it rather icky when I tried it again. Not that I've never drunk soda since.... In Ethiopia there never was enough boiled, filtrated water, and soda it was, some of the time (having the orange soda, rather than the cola, meant you could double-check that there weren't bugs in it. Isn't it lovely to know this? ;-). (Remember Q being surprised I tasted his soda at the movie last month?)
3. mmmmm. cinnamon and cloves?
Re: :-)
Date: 2002-12-16 06:27 am (UTC)adds new meaning to the phrase "bug juice," now doesn't it. republicanjeff always did point out that that particular shade of orange didn't exist in nature, and there were probably good reasons for that...
Re: Soda
Date: 2002-12-16 06:31 am (UTC)Except the water, I suppose....
It is a scary orange color, but there are now scarier colors of soda out there (the blue, the vigorous yellow-green...).
Re: Soda
Date: 2002-12-16 06:33 am (UTC)and yes, that whole "bubble-gum" flavored soda we saw in virginia was beyond creepy.
Re: Soda
Date: 2002-12-16 06:38 am (UTC)Bubble-gum flavored soda! Eeeew.
Hm. Rich Mackin read a letter at WWD about bubble-gum flavored snack cakes of some sort or another. Why the hell is bubble-gum flavor a good thing to foist onto other types of food?
Re: Soda
Date: 2002-12-16 06:54 am (UTC)all this great quabbin water, and the people who live near it die from bad water.
bubblegum flavor is useful only in bubblegum.

Date: 2002-12-16 07:42 am (UTC)If you find yourself with unexpected beer, and it's beer that has some heft to it and not the ultra-light stuff, one thing you can do with it to good effect is to poach whitefish in it. I've fed this to people who don't like drinking beer and gotten compliments; you get light flavoring but it's not overwhelming the way it can be in drink form. (Throw some salt in too, and dilute 50-50 with water.)
Re: Beer recipe
Date: 2002-12-16 08:26 am (UTC)Thanks!
Whitefish can be so good. There's a kosher fish store somewhere around Chicago at which I got a grilled whitefish sandwich that was amazing, a lost chord of sandwiches I wish I'd gotten to eat when young.
Re: Beer recipe
Date: 2002-12-16 11:15 am (UTC)I think I was in college before I learned that you could do something with fish other than batter/bread it. Mmm, grilled fish -- one of my staples now.
