I'm guessing this is closer to a Sunny D flavored White Claw than anything else.
Breakfast Stout in the bottle is a damn good stout. But Breakfast Stout on tap is maybe one of the greatest stouts of all time. If I ever see it on a beer menu on tap, I always get it.
What is the definition of "online" for this chart? The first website wasn't even up until 1991, so how can the line start at 1980?
My dog is a mutt with some shih tzu mixed in and sometimes he really does act like a "shit zoo" lol.
I mostly make chocolate based candies, but I dabble in other candies from time to time like caramels, candied nuts, candied fruits/ginger/etc. I like to make candies around Christmas time to give to family and friends as they make really nice gifts.
It's really all going to depend on your tastes and lifestyle. Like I could recommend that you get a dog and start learning how to train dogs as a hobby, but that's just not going to work for everyone. What's important is that you explore things and maybe even try some hobbies that could potentially improve your well-being. Maybe you live somewhere near a good hiking spot and you could take up hiking to get outdoors and get more exercise. Maybe you could learn how to cook and explore how to make healthy meals that suit you better. Or maybe you just want to create something and you could take up woodworking or make model planes or something. The possibilities are endless, you just need to decide what you'd like to get out of it.
Personally, I spend most of my time for work indoors on a computer, so most of my hobbies involve using my hands and getting outdoors. I took up a lot of extra hobbies during covid for obvious reasons. So here goes my list of >!hobbies that will maybe give you some ideas:
- Cooking/baking/bread
- Candy making
- Jam making
- Gardening
- Canning (goes great with gardening!)
- Succulents
- Mixology
- Dog training
- Camping/hiking (this one is minimal only because I don't live somewhere with good hiking spots)
- Board games, video games, and movies during the winter when I can't go outside
Other things I've considered taking up but haven't for various reasons:
- 3D printing
- Bonsais
- Home brewing
I had known for a long time that I wanted to do something creative. Throughout highschool I was lucky enough to be able to take various classes that would allow me to try out different things. I ruled out music and was struggling to decide if I wanted to be an illustrator of some kind or an interior designer or maybe an architect? But then I took a class called "computer graphics" which was a stupid name for the class. It was actually a class about graphic design and it seemed to fit into everything I do well just perfectly. Looking back it was way more obvious that I should be a graphic designer as I used to do things for fun like doodle out magazine layouts and make weird computer art for icons and things back when that was how the Internet worked. Like what kind of kid does that for fun? A future graphic designer apparently.
Jewel, I'll give you my fitness data when you clean up whatever has been reeking in the potato aisle for the last 3 months. What a trash ass grocery store.
I think this is what The Incredibles does very well. It throws you into a world with super heros, makes you think they're cool, then shows you what would actually happen to them when they start "saving" people and smashing up infrastructure. Probably one of the best super hero movies out there.
Pretty sure Snow Piercer is a train...
My first job as an intern was in a suburban office park. There wasn't anything of significance within walking distance and our office didn't have anything in the way of food/snacks. So a few of us would group up and attempt to cross the street to get to the gas station on occasion. It was a nightmare. Not a far walk at all, but it took forever to wait for traffic. And even when it cleared, you had to be super attentive as people in the burbs aren't used to people trying to cross the street. I hated it and I'm glad I don't work there anymore, but I had little say in where I worked at the time.

"in seconds." Ah yes, clearly the best point made for this product.
I was going to say something similar. Nobody sells small cars anymore. And if they do, they try as hard as they can to get you to buy something else. I'm currently trying to buy a Prius and I have one on hold, but it won't be available for months and when we went to various dealers, they just didn't have any to test drive and instead wanted us to test drive their SUVs. I've never wanted a large car. In fact, I would prefer if my next car was a small electric hatchback, but they just don't sell that here in the US.
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.
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!
One of my favorite summer drinks!
Recipe:
- 1/2 oz Lemon juice
- 1/2 oz Honey syrup
- 1/4 tsp. Matcha powder
- 2 oz Japanese whiskey
- Sparkling water
- Lemon peel for garnish
Shake first 4 ingredients with ice and strain into a highball glass with a spear of ice. Top with sparkling water and add a lemon peel to the rim for garnish.
About a year ago, I was unable to drink alcohol for medical reasons. So I dove into some recipes for non-alcoholic cocktails, and I wasn't disappointed. There are loads of excellent non-alcoholic recipes that I enjoy just as much as their alcoholic counterparts.
This recipe is from the book Good Drinks:
- 1oz basil matcha syrup
- 1oz heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- 3 oz soda water
- matcha for garnish
Shake syrup, cream, and juice with ice and strain into a Collins glass over ice. Add soda water carefully and garnish by sprinkling matcha powder on top.
Enjoy your Independence Day weekend!
Ok it didn't exactly do anything crazy, but it was blooming like we had never seen before this last November! Absolutely gorgeous!

Hello again! Feast your eyes upon the meal doomed to end up all over the table and your lap!
Going to start posting some classics this week to get engagement up. Please enjoy these lettuce bits on pegs with what looks to be not enough dressing and bread.
