• 636 how to beat the system + cinnamon booze

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to JIM WELLER on Tuesday, April 24, 2018 22:16:20
    Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, along comes ...
    Jawbreaker

    We aim to please.

    Here's one I might actually try:
    Title: Allspiced Cider
    1 tb Whole allspice
    1 Cinnamon stick (3 inch)
    3 c Apple cider
    1 c Orange juice
    1/2 Lemon, sliced
    1 ts Honey
    1/4 c Brandy

    Looks okay, but that much allspice risks
    being bitter. I'd consider using maybe a
    teaspoon of it and half of peppercorns.

    From McCormick/Schilling and American Spice Trade Association.
    Printed in the December 27, 1992, Los Angeles Daily News.

    There are good things that come from
    corporate America, then, maybe.

    On the other hand, it might not have been a
    great idea to volunteer, because the need for
    volunteers may have evaporated, and there he
    would be at the gate and forced to fly, in
    which case faking illness or emergency would
    be the only way to get out of trouble.
    Until I did some reading last night I didn't realize it was illegal
    to not use a ticket. That seems ridiculous.

    Not exactly illegal, but civilly
    actionable as breach of contract; but
    practically speaking, what the airlines
    do is confiscate your airline miles.

    Title: Aviation
    1 1/2 oz Gin
    1/2 oz Lemon Juice
    1/2 oz Maraschino liqueur

    This cocktail is supposed to contain
    parfait amour and be of a pale purple
    because of that.

    Esquire martini
    categories: booze
    servings: 1

    25 ml parfait amour
    45 ml vodka
    25 ml raspberry vodka

    Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into
    chilled glass. Garnish with a blackberry.

    Until I did some reading last night I didn't realize it was illegal
    to not use a ticket. That seems ridiculous.

    All of your miles, or just those which would have been earned on the
    unused leg of the flight? For someone like you, that could be a very
    serious penalty if the former.

    BTW, we happened to score a couple of briskets on sale from Giant today.
    I plan on smoking them in the next week. Just saying, in case you
    and/or Lili might have some free time to head east :-}}

    In keeping with my theme of supplying at least a little pork for you
    with my monthly theme, I give you the following.
