I'm partially native American. Who's gonna supply me with fire water? Oh, and repeater rifles aka fire sticks.
...do you mean I need to work harder or do I need to work longer?...or both? ...I'm a hard worker...and I also have a cape!
Scotch/Irish/Indian here. ...and the firewater thing also applies to me...but part of my heritage dictates that I drink while part of my heritage says that I can't hold it.
That pretty much describes me. I'm pretty sure I've got some Irish in me. Say, I vaguely recall you saying that you live in the South. If so, where? I was born in Atlanta and have a ton of cousins in Georgia and it Alabama where I've still got three of my aunts and another ton of cousins.
Yes. Like cooking a steak well done or mixing wasabi and soy sauce together into a slurry or pineapple on pizza.
Charred medium rare. I like to set the fat on the outside, on fire until it gets blackened. Sometimes I freeze my NY before grilling it just so the inside will be medium rare. Then, I open a really good bottle of red from my collection. Next, comes a baked potato with sour cream, butter and chives. For veggie, this varies, sometimes it's grilled asparagus, sometimes brussel sprouts, other times grilled slices of sweet potato, spinach, turnip greens (yum), green beans. Sometimes when we grill, we open a bottle of white that's been chilled. This is usually a sweet white. Last time we had a white it was ice wine (yum). I think I'll buy a bottle of Chenin Blanc that's sweet and chilled. That's the most delicious white wine I've ever had.
I hate drinking alcohol with food. I can do it with appetizers but that's about it. I usually drink iced tea with steak. I always do the same order with steak. Ribeye or NY, medium rare Wedge salad to start Creamed spinach on the side
...yes, because heaven forbid someone has a different preference than you. Not to mention that adding a little water to scotch serves a purpose as to the flavor.
It makes it taste cheaper. Its fucking rank. A flick of water I can MAYBE understand but ice fucking sucks.
My wife likes ribeye. I'm a NY guy and it's gotta have some fat on the outside edge for me to burn. I like to freeze my steak so it doesn't get overcooked in the center. Iced tea? Ain't nothing wrong with iced tea so long as it has lemon in it. I either drink plain black tea or jasmine and lots of ice. Not too fond of chamomile or green tea or Earl Grey.
I love Paradise Iced Tea, the tropical shit they have at cheesecake factory and other spots. I always Sous Vide steaks, then put it on a cast iron grill pan. I suck at grilling, so this is a foolproof way to cook
Even one ice cube is way too much. The big spheres still melt too quickly, you should savor the scotch
Just read all about scotch etiquette. I personally drink it neat, most frequently Ardbeg and Laphroaig. Lots of calls for adding a bit of water to open that shit up...but after all these years? Maybe I'll give it go.
I had a double Scotch with ice last night. Had my favorite, The Dimple Pinch. I've been drinking it that way for nearly half a century. I tried some single malt, even bought two bottles of acclaimed single malt and didn't like either one. Got a bottle of 15 year old Chevis Regal that I need to open and try. I prefer a quality brandy with some fruit. The fruit is usually apple and pear with some pieces of cheese on the side. The Scotch is great for insomnia.
...Lanny, I'm well south of Atlanta...about 40 miles due south of Macon...out in the country...WAY out in the country.
Wow, I used to drink Haig Pinch a long time ago but it's hard to find around here...nowadays I just go for J&B.
