Jihad declared.

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

In my capacity as president and chief operating officer of the Society for the Preservation and Restoration of Classic Cocktails, I hearby declare jihad against the Bubblegum Martini.

In the immortal words of a great philospher:

Policy statement.

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

This came up in a previous thread, but I’m promoting it to a post of its own:

Personal friends of the proprietor are always welcome to pimp things here, within reasonable limits.

The proprietor has an expansive definition of “personal friends” and “reasonable limits”. Basically, follow the Wheaton rule and you should be okay. If you have any questions, drop me an email. (The preferred addresses are on the “Contact the proprietor” page.)

Spammers continue to be cordially invited to die in a fire.

Spaghetti Carbonara day.

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

We were somewhat amused to see, on the day before Thanksgiving, the NYT publishing a recipe for “Spaghetti With Sausage Alla Carbonara“. As you might be able to guess from the title, sausage substitutes for bacon in this variation.

We are big fans of a well-done spaghetti carbonara, and look forward to giving this particular variation a trial run.

(We know we linked to this yesterday, but for those who do not understand the significance of spaghetti carbonara and Thanksgiving, once again we link to Calvin Trillin.)
