Gin and It

"It" is vermouth. I thought gin and vermouth was martini but I guess I was wrong.

Like the gin and tonic you start out with 3 ml of gin.

But instead of the tonic water you pour in a tablespoon of it.

This gets poured in a glass of ice.

I prefer my martinis gin and its shaken and not stirred. Because it saves me from having to wash a stirrer.

You pour into a chilled glass. Maybe I chilled mine a little much.

The gin and it.

Not as good as the gin and tonic, but still a good drink.

Cappucino Pork Chops

Now this, this was going to be a regular dish that I was going to make for lunch and forget about.

But I found I had lots of cappucino mix around and decided to pour it on.

I hope I'm searing the cappucino into the pork chop right. I bet I could make a cool sounding restaurant ad for them.

Then I'm going to steam some broccoli. I'd add more cappucino but I think this dish has enough.

Also some regular corn this time.

After a bit of cooking my veggies are done!

And we have... a recipe that's alright. But would be better off without the cappucino. It's all slimy and too sweet. Nevertheless, I shall devote marketing resources to it and my cappucino glazed and seared pork chops shall someday be the toast of the town!

Gin and Tonic

I got ahold of some vermouth, but I also got ahold of some tonic water. Since a martini has only a little vermouth but a gin and tonic has lots of tonic water, I decided to try the more interesting sounding one first.

So we start with about 3 ml of gin.

Add about 4 ml of tonic water.

Fill a glass with crushed ice.

Pour the gin and tonic water into the glass and you have one kickass drink.

And I mean KICK-ASS. This is now my favorite beverage and it's so easy to make. I'm gonna have to come up with a new special Seal of Approval icon or something to give this. It's soo good.

Queso Corn

Summer's here and that means fresh corn is in the supermarket. I know how to cook corn. You just boil it in water.

I even know to take off the husk thing. I think the technical term for it is "shuck."

Now I could eat it like this. But summer's here and that also means I have leftover queso from when I was planning to watch the superbowl or something.

Queso looks like butter, and I know butter goes good on corn. So queso should go good on corn too, right?

Now it just needs a bit of salt and pepper.

Yum!
