I know how you feel. I have more cabinet space devoted to my bar/liquor/liqueur than to my appliances… Local spirits are my go to souvenir when we travel, so there is Pisco from Peru, Metaxa from Greece (as well as the Ouzo) Sambuca from Italy, Tortuga Rum Liqueur from Cayman Islands, Praline liqueur from New Orleans and the list goes on…plus the limoncello and Ginger/orange liqueurs I have made…
Plus a few dozen bottles of wine (including the Ice Wine we brought back from Canada and the Port from Portugal)
/giphy I may have a problem…
@carl669@Kidsandliz@RiotDemon considering some of those bottles are about 15+ years old, I seem to be doing OK pacing myself! (OTOH there are a lot of dead soldiers that have left my side in that time as well…)
@carl669@chienfou@RiotDemon Well it sounds like you need to take a ton more vacations so you are sure to have enough “aged soldiers” by your side while you age in case they all die before you do
Aaahhhh the Martini Pure gin bliss in an elegant glass. Please don’t dirty my martini. And shake the bejesus out of it. I want it ice cold.
Just one.
Just on Sunday.
Aaaahhhhhhh
Where’s your flask?
@Thumperchick right here! though i’ve found martinis out of the flask aren’t the greatest.
Sssooooo I heard low carb chili AND low carb, delicious drinks! Fuck yeah!!
@tinamarie1974 abso-fuckin-lutely! come on by!
Got anything that doesn’t have olives in it??
@RiotDemon bunch of casemates wine (rose, chardonnay, cab sav, pinot noir, tempranillo, etc), bourbon, tequila, sake, spiced rum, vodka… pick your poison!
@carl669 sweet! I’m on the way! I’m bringing wings!
@RiotDemon i’ll keep the chili warm!

@carl669 @chienfou @RiotDemon
Only if you actually drink your souvenirs instead of aging them forever and then selling at a profit.
@chienfou your booze cabinet and my booze cabinet need to get together and have a party.
@RiotDemon Agreed - I prefer mine with a twist. (I do like olives, just not in drinks.)

@carl669 @Kidsandliz @RiotDemon …that’s the plan!
Martinis are like women. The best are dirty and wet.

@mike808 @Thumperchick sssooooo
@Thumperchick @tinamarie1974
SO HAWT
I’m not a martini drinker but I think you’re supposed to have your pinky extended not middle finger.
@elimanningface I failed etiquette class.
@carl669 @elimanningface
Well, that’s a fucking surprise.
@elimanningface The middle finger is to help stabilize the glass! (Spilling a martini is a fucking etiquette nightmare)
So it’s been 6 hours, so I think it’s time I said this…
I sometimes make bean only chili.
Ok, I got that off my chest, I feel so much better.
@thismyusername Yay, fiber!
@thismyusername I mean, chili without the ensuing fart contest - what’s the point?
@thismyusername you there! out of this thread!
@carl669
Save time and drink your dinner

@allergycheryl i’m the same on shaking the hell out of it. gotta be insanely cold. although, i prefer vodka in mine. and filthy as hell.
I’ve never had a martini dirty or otherwise. I should probably try one.
