Thanks for the recommendation to use my excess pineapple juice in a pork marinade. Porkchops turned out great tonight, served with a yellow plum salsa. And of course a couple cocktails with pineapple juice - Hotel Nacional and a Jungle Bird! Just one more liter to use up now!

I needed 3.5 oz of pineapple juice for a cocktail class tomorrow. Normally I'd buy a 6-pack of little cans, but all the store had was a GIANT 1.36L can of Dole. What can I do with a lot of pineapple juice that's NOT cocktails?

As some of you may have noticed, My Tiny Bottles is on a bit of hiatus. But I promise I'll be back with new episodes this fall. In the meantime, check out this cool TikTak collector/review site by an MTB viewer! I had no idea there were so many flavors... tictachunter.com

I love my alternatives-to-cars-friendly neighborhood. Tonight while walking down our street to the grocery store we saw dozens of pedestrians, several dogs, 3 bicycles, 2 unicycles, 1 e-bike, and and a motorcycle. And only 2 cars that were moving (many more that were parked, of course).

Finally got my hands on a Canadian whisky that's attempting to be bourbon. Even without looking at the back label there's a lot of telegraphing going on - "straight whisky" is not a term that's really used in connection with Canadian. 1/4

obsessed with Ian Flemming's daily schedule - swim - brunch - write 1500 words no edits just freestyle - lobster hunting - pink gin - lunch - siesta - sit in garden - another swim - 500 more words - "a couple of powerful drinks" - dinner - scrabble with wife - sleep

I'm involved with SF fandom, and some people in our community think we have especially a lot of drama. But I think every hobby community has drama, but you only notice it in the ones that you are part of. What's the big drama/contentious topic in a hobby community you're involved with?

And the principle of all of this is AWESOME and obviously the point. But I do want to note that modern dishwasher detergents actually work better if the dishes are dirty. They are enzymatic and need things to react with. So you should scrape off chunks, but do not rinse!!

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

I am really sick of shitty and entitled Uber drivers who think they are doing you a favor by giving you a ride. If you're going to bitch out your passengers for not closing the trunk the way you want them to, then maybe you should have gotten your ass out of the car and loaded the luggage yourself.

FB ad. I'm impressed that any US retailer has so much Chartreuse they need to advertise it. But maybe it's just click bait, they actually don't have any, and they just hope you'll buy something else once you're there!

Vacation mixology! Someone in our group requested I pick up some rye. I hadn't had a chance to try the Overholt bottled-in-bond yet, so that's what I went for. Forgot to buy an orange for garnish, so I'm using a clementine instead!
