Gin Time: Tonic Water Tasting

IMG_0413

In an effort to pep up my gin and ton­ics I’ve decided to sam­ple some “pre­mium” tonic waters. There’s really no point in shelling out for top – shelf hooch if you’re going to mix it with swill. Tonight was Fentiman’s Tonic Water (warn­ing, hideous web­site ahoy).

The ver­dict: A fuck-sight bet­ter than Canada Dry or Schweppes.

Grilling Time: Beef Fajitas

Memorial Day Fajitas - 11

Since my last food post was mod­er­ately well received, I fig­ure I’ll con­tinue with them. This last Monday I decided to go with an old standby, Beef Fajitas. I’m sure this recipe will man­age to offend some drunken Texan, but fuck them. This is how I like it.

Sunday Grilling: Pollo Asado Al Carbon

Pollo Asado al Carbon - 5

I’m going to try some­thing dif­fer­ent for a change. I’m going to doc­u­ment some of my Sunday grilling exper­i­ments. Tonight’s exper­i­ment was a Puerto Peñasco style Pollo Asado al Carbon. For the unini­ti­ated, pollo asado is roasted chicken, and the al car­bon means that it is grilled. I adapted a recipe from here. My vari­a­tions were mainly to increase the mari­nade to account for roast­ing two chick­ens and to pro­vide an ass-load of mari­nade to baste with dur­ing roast­ing, and to replace the orange juice with lemon juice.

Tanqueray Rangpur Is Some Tasty Fucking Gin!

I’ve always had a fondess for The Gin; usu­ally in the form of an ice cold Bombay Saphire and Tonic. But after a recomen­da­tion from the hep cats over at The Real Happy Hour I picked up a bot­tle of Tanqueray Rangpur Gin. Gods damn this is a tasty Gin. I think I’m going to have one right now.
