I went to the Wine & Liquor in Kirkland last night to stock my home bar. $90 later, I've got a good selection of booze and mixers at home. It's not anywhere close to complete, but I've certainly got the basics plus a couple of dessert liquors like Irish Cream and 90 proof Kahlua.
* Discovered that I make the best Long Island Iced Teas in the world.
* Enjoyed making layered shots.
* Discovered that vanilla soy milk is not a good substitute for cream in drinks. Interesting reaction! It disintegrates into little curdles and makes coke foam like crazy.
* Shaken drinks are gross, either syrupy sweet (cosmopolitans, lemon drops) or vicious nasty like classic martinis and manhattans.
* Figured out that my personal favorites are tart drinks like Cape Cods and Long Island Iced Teas, or dessert shooters with a heavy vodka component like Mudslides and Smith & Wessons.
Nice deal. What a fun class.

I think I'm going to start hanging out at your place a lot more. We can't have you getting restless and resorting to making drinks for the cats to keep your skills sharp.

I haven't seen Alias at all. I know I kept trying to avoid Lost because it just didn't seem that engaging. Sometimes, only sometimes, I like being wrong.
