Live to Taste, Taste to Live
My Favorite Gins
- Oxley's- expensive but piney and complex. Nice with Santa Barbara martini olives
- Tanqueray 10- Grapefruit pith, bitter lemon notes. Step away from the tonic
- Hendricks- gin from Scotland? With cucumber extract...garnish with icy cucumber
- Tanqueray- classic, universal, iconic...despite baing a Tanq. fan they get a dishonorable mention for Rangpur. If I want some lime, I'm pretty sure I know how get that flavor in my gin. I hate meaningless line extention
- Broker's- seriously underpriced and well-made, classic dry gin. Good for G+T's with lemon
- Bombay- traditional flavor...not the Sapphire that stuff is overpriced and tastes like licorice piss.....whatever that means
Cooking terms that sound dirty
- Tossing the dough
- Slowing folding in
- Brining the meat
- Pre-Seasoning
- Making an emulsion
- Making a Roux
- Jamie Oliver's boxers
