I've always wanted to try to do something like this but I also have so many questions about the medium. Like is there a special sand/water ratio to get the best structure? Are there special tools you use to sculpt? What do you do about the extra sand you remove? It's all so fascinating!
We bid 10k under asking price because the owner ripped the place up and it needed tons of work. They said they would not accept any offers under asking. We thought about it and decided the house was in the perfect location and made the offer at asking price. They also were not happy about that because this was in 2021 and everything was selling for a ton over asking price. Thing is, those houses you could move into with minimal changes. This house needed abatement and a gutted bathroom and kitchen. We were the only offer and they begrudgingly accepted and tried every which way to nickel and dime us before closing.
Same here. I only eat beef a few times a year as a treat both for health and environmental reasons. But coffee and chocolate so high up the list is more of a killer for me. I definitely enjoy a couple cups per day as well as at least one bite of dark chocolate. Probably should cut back now that I can't claim ignorance.
I agree. Some kids need extra motivation to get them to practice reading so it really shouldn't matter how dumb the subject matter seems. Whatever gets them to open a book and practice is good.
My dog has a very sensitive stomach so we started bringing treats to the vet that he can eat. He doesn't eat them though on account of how scared he is.

In the US it's cheap but unregulated and full of shit that's terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that's better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen... meant for my face.
My inlaws took in a Russian family a few years back. It was quite the culture shock for them to get a giant jar of pickled tomatoes and drink hole glasses of the brine. I like pickles and all, but that's just too much ๐

What about kombucha? Ice tea? Water?!?! Would be nice to know that anything you consume regardless of how healthy or not doesn't contain micro plastics or other contaminants.
I have no sources for this so take with a grain of salt... But I've heard that Tesla turns off self driving just before an accident so they can say it was the drivers fault. Now in this case, if it was on while it drove on the tracks I would think would prove it's Tesla's faulty self driving plus human error for not correcting it. Either way it would prove partly Tesla's fault if it was on at the time.
Oldie but a goodie
I wanted to try out the Wray & Nephew rum that @Infynis used in a previous post and I think it turned out great! It was a LOT cheaper than I expected which is always a plus!
Recipe:
- 11/2 oz Virgin lslands Rum
- 11/2 oz Pineapple Juice
- 3/40z Cream Of Coconut
- 3/40z Fresh Orange Juice
- Fresh Grates Nutmeg Garnish
It's been a very long week working 10 hours days. So I'm ending it on a a sweet note with one of my favorite dessert cocktails!
Recipe:
- 1 oz Bourbon
- ยพ oz Mr. Coffee
- ยพ oz demerara syrup
- 1 egg yolk
- ยฝ oz heavy cream (oat milk and chickpea milk work good as alternatives)
- Nutmeg for garnish
Combine ingredients except nutmeg and dry shake (shake longer if using a milk substitute). Add ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into coup glass and grate a nutmeg on top for garnish.
My personal favorite version uses barista oat milk, but I'm sure you can use whatever milk or milk alternative you like.

I'm back from vacation and it looks like this community died while I was away ๐ญ. Not to worry, my husband turned into a mad scientist and decided he needed to make angostura ice cream. Is it a cocktail? Probably not, but I'll let you decide. If you want to give this a try without making homemade ice cream, you can just top some vanilla ice cream in angostura bitters and enjoy!
Thanks everyone for being respectful while I was away! I need to get a new mod buddy before my next vacation ๐คฃ. I'll post an actual real cocktail soon.
This is my husband's creation and it's quite tasty! Also I'm aware that I've posted a lot of matcha cocktails lately, but I guess that's what I've been in the mood for ๐คท.
Recipe:
- 3/4 oz. St. George spiced pear liqueur
- 2 oz. London dry gin
- 3/4 oz. Honey syrup
- 1 oz. Lemon juice
- 1 Egg white
- 1/4 tsp. Matcha powder
- 1 Basil leaf for garnish
Combine ingredients in a shaker and dry shake for about 20 seconds. Add ice and shake until chilled, about 10 more seconds. Double strain into a glass and garnish with a basil leaf.

Out of all the recipes I've tried, this is my absolute favorite non-alcoholic recipe from the book Regarding Cocktails! It does contain angostura bitters, but you can leave those out if you want the drink to be 100% alcohol free. But even if you don't, it contains no more than kombucha would. Excellent recipe to make in large batches that you can add soda water to when ready to drink!
Recipe:
- 1 oz. Lemon juice
- 1 oz. Pineapple juice
- 1 oz. Ginger syrup
- 1 Bar spoon of maple syrup
- A dash of angostura bitters
- 3 oz. Soda water
Combine all but the soda water and shake vigorously with ice. Strain into a Collins glass with a spear of ice and a straw. Carefully top with soda water. (There isn't a garnish in the book, but some suggestions I like to use include mint, cucumber, lemon peel, or candied ginger).
This is my first focaccia made from Claire Saffitz's book Dessert Person. Here's a video with the recipe for those interested.
