I drank Thunderbird once, just out of curiosity. It was...very much like drinking pale yellow kerosene. I mean, I didn't really know what that tasted like until I drank Thunderbird. It was unpleasant af.

As a teen I did the Boone's Farm, the Mad Dog 20/20, Zimas, etc. Thunderbird wasn't the worst of the lot, though. I straight poured a bottle of blue raspberry Mad Dog down the drain because that stuff tasted like pure sugar poison.

Anyway, I've never had a proper martini and since I love olives, I think I'd like to drink a dirty one sometime.

I'm educating myself on wine by tasting a bunch of stuff. I've decided that I need to include flavored fortified wines in that just to be comprehensive.

At a certain point old wine just means you were rich enough to buy a bunch of different wines, most of which didn't age well, leaving you with what dumb rich people assume is the cream of the wine or else gives you some sort of "connection" to the vintage year.

In other words old wine is expensive for being rare and not really for tasting better.

I've gathered over the course of many posts that you run a better than average southern restaurant

I bow to your judgement in this matter, but will say that from my limited experience as a northerner transplanted into the south, there are a lot of sub-par preparations of okra (among other things) out there. I suppose I was speaking from mediocre okra experiences rather than their fluted pinnacle.






Mediokraty

There used to be a fried chicken place in town. Not only was the fried chicken amazing (the spicy moreso), but they single handedly taught me the joys of fried okra. That's right, JOYS, I said. Sadly, they closed and I have never tasted fried okra happiness the same way ever again.

Saw someone posting on another site about how they mix flavoured whey protein powder into cups of tea.

As a British person, I feel this is on a par with committing a war crime.

And for smaller and younger families, there may not be a giant fridge and freezer to store 10 pounds of turkey carcass and all the side dish leftovers for the next three or four days. Or you’re working so you don’t have time to rip up the remnants to make soup and jelly and poo poo like a housewife.

Or you know, you send a load of leftovers home with the single dude relative...

I can sort of see it with a fruit or peppermint tea, but green or black tea is definitely casus belli.

No photos, but my mother is planning to bring in turkey leftovers to church for after-service hospitality. Specifically, she's planning for Javanese dinner. Rice, chopped chicken/turkey, chow mein noodles, chopped tomatoes, gravy, chopped celery/onion/green pepper, pineapple, cheddar cheese, almond slivers, and coconut flakes. Some of those things are pretty OK, but the combination all layered together probably qualifies as AFP.

Jesus wept. So my mom isn't the only one that makes this absolute inhuman garbage. Many condolences. You're fine til you get to the fruit salad layer. And my mom covers it in 6 large blobs of canned whipped cream topped with maraschino cherries and green olives because the LSD she took in the 60's still whispers to her.

We're having it for brunch today. I'm so excited.

E: to be clear this is like a whole buffet thing. It's not like a casserole or whatever. You just get the bits and bobs that you want and make a garbage plate out of leftovers and random salads. But my mom gets a layer of everything and then whipped cream and poo poo. Lunatic.

'Javanese Dinner', eh? Takes more than a bit of tinned pineapple to scare me off, let's see what google turns up.

There are some secrets which do not permit themselves to be told. Men die nightly in their beds, wringing the hands of ghostly confessors, and looking them piteously in the eyes -- die with despair of heart and convulsion of throat, on account of the hideousness of mysteries which will not suffer themselves to be revealed. Now and then, alas, the conscience of man takes up a burthen so heavy in horror that it can be thrown down only into the grave.
