Happy Mutants food and drink topic (Part 2)

Hmm. How about just straight shots of Everclear until you black out? Get it? Black out? Eh? (Sorry, recovering alcoholics have twisted senses of humor surrounding alcohol)

hmm…
start with tequila sunrise, move on to a dark and stormy, followed by a couple of espresso martinis (because they arr dark and, as @danimagoo rightly points out, lead to a quick blackout).
but enough of my bar menu for the day. let’s hear from other, more sensible mixologists out there.

A martini with one small olive below a bigger olive, such that the smaller olive disappears when you drink it?

A friend of mine posted the following on Facebook. It’s both funny and ingenious.

I had no idea what to make for breakfast, when I realized, without planning it at all, that I had everything ready in the fridge to make tacos.

Mmm.

Very cool. It is an hydroponic farm! I always thought, or at leat it was I was told, wasabi only could be cultivated in cold gentle mountain streams.

Yeah, I was surprised to see a link to California.

Of course there are a bunch of farms growing it here in Ireland because… actually it would be great if it really took off and was used as part of managing certain kinds of wetlands and persuading people to return them to wet or leave them wet.

They could preserve the peat bogs and make some money with Wasabi. Maybe they could export It to all over Europe.

I really want to try fresh wasabi some day

Isn’t there an existing cocktail called an Eclipse?

Some of these look interesting

My daughter had this today:

“Total Eclipse”

  • Buffalo trace
  • black raspberry liqueur
  • lime juice
  • cranberry juice

Garnish with orange and mint

Pretty tasty!

ETA: almost identical to the recipe described above. Derp

Good to know it was tasty! It sucks to get all the stuff for a new recipe and it isn’t any good

Different ecosystem to grow these in. Bogs are really acidic and have a very particular set of plants. But there are many kinds of wetlands we need to preserve. Not least because…

This has been the wettest March on record. Climate change has hit and it means the pastoral farming expansion of recent decades needs to be rolled back with wetlands rewilded to prevent very regular flooding all across the country.
Warmer, stormier, wetter winters on the way.
