If you were more hydrated you might have less of a hangover. And different beverages have different consequences.

Fortunately, my wife and I have always been very much into Japanese culture, so we started trying different sakes.  The selection here in Rochester is abysmal, so on a recent trip to Vegas we made a point to sample as many different sakes as we could.  And we recently discovered a liquor store in Buffalo that has a decent selection on the shelves. If anyone is interested in trying out some good sake, here are some of our current favorites: Rihaku "Wandering Poet" It's a highly-polished (junmai ginjo) sake with a full and smooth flavor.  It's often described as a more "traditional" sake.  I consider this a very well-rounded sake.  It's a great place to start if you're interested in sake, and an absolute  must-try if you are already a sake fan. Kamoizumi "Summer Snow" Nigori Ginjo This has a very rich flavor with being especially sweet.  "Nigori" sake contains unfiltered rice particles which need to be shaken up immediately before you drink it.  The result is a milky texture.  Many nigoris end up being (in my opinion) overly sweet - almost to the point of dessert wines.  But the "Summer Snow" doesn't go that route.  I could drink this stuff all day long. Masumi Okuden Kantsukuri "Mirror of Truth" Junmai Smooth, smooth, smooth.  This is one of the cleanest sakes I've tried so far.  The texture is very clear, and there's just a hint of rice flavor in this.  The finish is fairly mild, too.  It's almost like drinking water.  Very enjoyable. -------------- Quote (afdave @ Oct. 02 2006,18:37) Many Jews were in comfortable oblivion about Hitler ... until it was too late.

We didn't find a lot of them, but had better luck than I honestly expected. Here's the batch, with the requisite Swiss Army knife for scale. And here's the outcome, a recipe we call "yard pie", made with morels, dandelion greens, dandelion blossoms, and a single shitake mushroom from one of our two shitake logs. Accompanied by a Titan IPA, it was delicious (and mostly locally grown). Recipe available upon request, but you have to get or grow your own mushrooms... -------------- Flesh of the sky, child of the sky, the mind Has been obligated from the beginning To create an ordered universe As the only possible proof of its own inheritance.                         - Pattiann Rogers

This place has a nice little garden in the back and my roommate, also a spicy-food aficionado, is looking to plant a bunch of peppers soon. But what kinds will grow here? I turn to the wisdom of the crowd. For this kind of climate, what sort of peppers should we plant?

Lovely, but now it is all gone and I have no more. I was on the morning fishing boat today and brought home about 30LBs of bonito which is curing in a salt/sugar mix getting ready for the smoker.  They were all large fish, so I'll give them 2 days to soak.  I plan to use mesquite+oak+white sage for the smoke. The oak I have is from old Jack Daniels barrels.  It is a gimmick really, they are not any better than any other oak. I had a bit already as shashimi.  Very tasty.  There were literally acres of 10 to 18 LB fish, so I think I'll be out again in a few days. -------------- "Science is the horse that pulls the cart of philosophy."

You pick them, more grow, etc, etc. I'm not much of a horticulturalist, but even I have managed to grow chillis (specifically habaneros and jalapenos*) in a variety of places around the UK (not the sunniest of climes). In fact the problems weren't in getting chilli plants to grow, it was in getting them to stop growing or to grow really hot peppers. The "hotness" of the peppers I grew was very variable (I have since learned that there are reasons for this). If you want to grow a cracking hot chilli it's gong to take some effort.

I do a sautée thing with the chicken, in butter and the table wine (a nice but cheap sauvingnon blanc), basil, oregano, garlic pepper, rosemary, and thyme. I usually do my own sauce from scratch, but realized at the last minute I didn't have all the stuff, so I'm jazzing up a jar of "acceptable".

It's not so much difficult as it is a freaking juggling act, trying to get everything ready at the same time. We do love us some Hollandaise. Not a low-fat meal, by any stretch. Weekend before we had some friends over and I pan-seared some shrimp. Got the recipe from Cook's Illustrated. It's a great way to cook 'em --sear in that flavor without overcooking. Over-cooked shrimp are not good. Had some jasmine rice and a little veggie stir-fry to go with it (bok choy, snow peas, broccoli). 'Twas teh excellent.

Nevermind what happened last night and the necessary hair of the dog this morning. The hair of the dog became the rest of the dog, became some other dogs, became the pound, became stray dogs which wandered by...then we started off at Four Corners watching the Celtics game. I'm a long-time Boston fan but they're all from Ohio and it was Boston vs Cleveland so I was odd man out. Then we went to Goodfellas, but it was closed, so I took us to Hell, but it was 8 pm and weirdly closed for a while, so off to Bub O'Malley's upstairs, then Hell after it opened at 9 or 10. The only libations and comestibles I remember are 4 yuenglings, a Red Headed Slut, some Bass, some more Yuengling, some shots from the well, some budweiser, some more shots, a buttery nipple, some bacardi... I need a weekend to recover from the weekend.
