and i can talk faster too. not Ned fast but fast. i always thought that Ned had the coolest mile a minute brain until i met Andy Zax in person. whoooo boy he is a trip! uh but he doesn't come here i don't think. he should have.
Ha, as someone who was in conversation with Andy last week in LA for PopCon, it's true...we can chat quickly. (I think Andy knows about here but has never swung by.) Anyway, too kind a comment of course!

Rob rules but more importantly always comes across as very thoughtful and kind.

Nearly everyone on this board is kind and thoughtful. Even the few who have more, er, direct personalities come across as thoughtful. Looking at some old posts, I don't think that was always the case.

I'm bad about remembering to post itt, so while I'm here let me note that I always enjoy reading Daniel_Rf post about any of the wide range of subjects he is smart & witty about

I want to note that I really appreciate darraghmac, who has often pushed back on some of my more strident polemical moments and made me think about how and why I am posting what I am. While this can be frustrating, I also really value being made to evaluate my use of language. Thanks d!

xp nice, glad to hear it flopson! you should bump the Mtl thread when you're back, I think there might even be a couple more of us?

Had a very excellent Negroni while out at dinner on Saturday and couldn't help but to mentally toast Alfred.

hugs!
I haven't mixed one in a week, a problem I'll fix tonight.

<3 Daniel
I have also thought of Alfred while sipping a Negroni
― rob, Monday, 18 March 2024 15:33 (six months ago) link
I love the lot of you.

I made the Jasmine, the cocktail I learned from DJP.
I simply call them Alfronis in my household.
Very excited to try a Jasmine. On the menu tonight
― H.P, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 00:14 (six months ago) link
I use Cointreau, no bitters, and a splash of Italicus.
― poppers fueled buttsex crescendo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 March 2024 00:16 (six months ago) link
We're rocking Grand Marnier and no Italicus in this house (although now on the shopping list).
― H.P, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 00:19 (six months ago) link
I'm doing dry vermouth, Pronto (Trader Joe's excellent campari knockoff), and a splash of lemonade on the rocks
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 00:22 (six months ago) link
Let me know.
― poppers fueled buttsex crescendo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 March 2024 01:06 (six months ago) link
Wait, what? Pronto is supposed to be Campari!?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 01:21 (six months ago) link
Wait, Trader Joe’s makes hard liquor? I’ve only ever shopped at TJ’s in Virginia, where hard liquor is only sold in (intentionally) depressing state stores.

They don’t make it, they (as with their other products) mostly rebadge dece low-rank name-brand stuffeg afaik their whiskey was* rebadged Jamesons. dunno who did their white rum but it was absolutely three-ingredient-cocktail worthy*the one 23 mins from my flat stopped selling booze a week before I last went in, last spring. the one 30 mins from my dayjob and 5 mins more to the train stopped selling booze last summer.

The last cocktail I "improvised" was vodka - mint - cinnamon syrup - jasmine tea - slice of orange. I need to try again but it was promising.In honor of Alfred, I've been enjoying the Sbagliato. I'll try the one with Cointreau.
― Nabozo, Tuesday, 19 March 2024 07:51 (six months ago) link
Negroni with vodka (generic), Campari and tawny port makes for a punchy start to the evening

White Negronis might not be white, but they’re always delicious (gift link):

I will on occasion mix a variant with bourbon or rye and an amaro like Averna or Ramazotti.

Scott Seward is always (and has always been) a joy to have in our midst; he brings a slightly absurd, off-kilter energy that’s very welcome, and the same vibe is there in his published work in, say, the Village Voice. When he wasn’t present for a while this place didn’t feel the same.
