If you claim to drink that heavily and won't down whiskey straight or do drugs, thanmaybe you should consider that you do have a problem, which is being a big pussy.

didn't say' I was downing it alone, buddy. Never. Always a female to help out.
They have escaped into the mansion where they thought it was safe, yet.

Two bottles between two people in a day or two is still a lot.

I think his refusal to do drugs is much more concerning than the amount of whiskey he drinks.

Coffee and ramen? That's worse than coffee and cheese nips.

Two sugar cubes or one?

My family has used the same recipe for decades now, and my parents, my sister, and myself all have the BV glasses. It's a perfect cocktail for any occasion really. Perfect blend of pick me up with a touch of buzz without a strong taste. But that cream takes forever to whip, right?

One thing I always do is to wash out the glasses out with hot water before serving. Not sure why it makes such a difference in the final product, but it sure does.
Two! Also, they have the BV glasses as well. And it seems as if you and my aunt both warm the glass with hot water. Awesome that someone else does this as well. It's really worth it, even if the cream does take forever (I didn't watch her make the cream, but I was going to call her up today and ask for the recipe).

Making the cream is simple. Buy heavy cream, and whip it (I prefer using a dual whisk) until thick. Store the remaining om the fridge and it will last for a day, maybe more if you're adventurous.

And it could be just my mind playing tricks on me, but I can tell a difference in taste when the glass is warmed.

Tonight will be a Chianti Classico (2004) on the side with a potato leek pancetta soup with a homemade french bread courtesy of my wife and the Cuisinart bread machine. Like with beer, my taste for wine often changes. I'm on a big Chianti kick, but haven't found a Chianti I've fallen in love with. Hopefully tonight will be the night.

And get this, the recipe for the leek soup is from (one of my favorites) master chef Jacques Pepin, and the recipe calls for instant mashed potatoes, which really threw me for a loop. It's basically leek, mushrooms, chicken stock, instant mashed potatoes, and milk/cream. Sounds too easy and good to be true (potato and leek soup usually takes hours to make) but I have faith in Pepin that this may not be the best soup, but still one to make over and over.

Ah, I knew it was heavy whipping cream, but I didn't know if anything else was added to it. That's simple enough.

Red Rose tea, third run on the bag. I typically do two bags a day, each one three times. Adding a sprinkling of sugar or a shot of lemon juice to the third cup.
