I tried that Dethroner brat recipe again yesterday. This time I used the recommended Rogue Nut Brown stuff instead of the High Life Lite that I previously used as the base. I have to say, I think I like the HLL version better than the Rogue. I think the thinner consistency of the HLL cooks down better (or at least leaves a more margin for error). Plus it's a lot cheaper. The 22oz Rogue was $6 at my local liquor emporium whereas two cans of HLL cost about $.50 if you get them on sale via a 30 pack. After the cookdown the Rogue onion slurry was the consistency of bong resin (and just as hard to get off your fingers. Smelled better though.) Just now I realized that I misread the recipe and only used 1/2 an onion when I should have used a whole one. Oops. That might have been part of the problem as well. Still, even with the miscues, it was fucking delicious.
Dear MSFT - I'd really, really love to have my 360 back in my possession so I can spend some money on all of the awesome XBLA arcade games you're dropping this month. The Wii is mildly entertaining for a couple minutes at a time but as I'm not a Nintendo fanboy, I'm having a hard time finding quality software for the system. I don't want to say that it sucks, but... it kind of sucks.
We just got new coffee machines in our office. They are big and fancy and THEY SUCK. The coffee tastes like it was brewed out of John Madden's ass crumbles. Did I mention that they are huge? For scale reference, that's a one liter water bottle next to the machine.
