So I ate this food with my mouth the other day and hey listen to this:

[andronicus]

on Saturday I went to a Kentucky Derby party that featured hot browns, chess pie, derby pie, and mint juleps, among other delights.

I think my sister is exiling all the men in the family from her baby shower, and I think the consensus is we will go to the tracks and gamble and then maybe go fishing.

edit to add mint juleps are nasty.

edit to add mint juleps are nasty.

yes--I like mint juleps in theory, but definitely not in practice. 

[C of heartbreak]

I tried to make a mint julep once but I ended up with a leafy alcoholic mess. Guess I wasn't too far off?

[Ignatius]

Yeah mint juleps are like accident at the Wrigley Factory.

[Greg Nog]

I like 'em all right, especially if you have not-such-good whisky to work with.  Mainly, I like thinking about the episode of the Simpsons where Moe asks, "Who wants a bathtub mint julep?" and the Southern gentlemen raise their hands.

[Maaik]

You guys obviously live on the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon to be talkin smack about a mint julep.

[C of heartbreak]

Mainly, I like thinking about the episode of the Simpsons where Moe asks, "Who wants a bathtub mint julep?" and the Southern gentlemen raise their hands.

I was just thinking about that one actually.

[elpollodiablo]

I had a blueberry mojito last night and it was pretty good. Fresh blueberries innit!

[Bernard]

Ooh, a really good mint julep can be so refreshing. A lot of cocktails can be rather awful if they're out of proportion or made with syrups or powders, though. Fresh fruit always seems to be such a winner.

[jess]

Oooh, I've had those made with raspberries, which are good, but with blueberries sounds tasty too. I think blackberries would be delicious.

[elpollodiablo]

Yeah, that sounds great actually. I like blackberries more than either raspberries or blueberries.

Berries berries berries!

Seriously tho the best mojito I ever had was in MPLS of all places and there were thick spears of sugar cane stalk up inz.

[crystalcakes]

a well made mojito is so good.  one with fresh blueberries in it sounds delightful.

[slow west vultures]

i bought this Revolution Ginger Peach tea that i had my eye on today, and holy heck was that a good idea.  i don't think i'm going to get any medicinal benefit from the ginger, but this is some super good tea.  it smelled so sweet just while it was steeping. 

[Mike24]

I am going to bring the low-brow to this thread:

i just bought a bag of these new "Doritos COLLISIONS".  There are two flavours, hot wings and blue cheese.  I'm compulsively eating a chip of each flavour at the same time and it is really good.

[Mike24]

i seem to be encountering the same issue that i get when eating real wings, running out of blue cheese.  I can't even ask the waitress for more.

[dieblucasdie]

OMG MUST HAVE

[DCDave]

You know what else is crazy good?

The Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos.  They have soy sauce in them.

[Greg Nog]

Well, Dave, you were the one who recommended the x13-D Doritos, and those were crazy good, so I'm gonna trust you on this.

I just cleaned up after a lecture here at work, and people left a bunch of blueberries on the refreshment table.  Which means that GUESS WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND FISTS FULL OF BLUEBERRIES

I DO AND I LIKE BLUEBERRIES

[slow west vultures]

what scientist ignores blueberries?  don't they know they are brainberries 

[Andrew_TSKS]

i had those spicy sweet chili doritos and had this total "OMG WTF" reaction to the taste. it took me half the bag to decide if i liked them or not. but one thing is for sure--i could not stop eating them.

i gotta get my hands on the hot wings/blue cheese doritos though. holy fucking shit.

[andronicus]

Well, Dave, you were the one who recommended the x13-D Doritos, and those were crazy good, so I'm gonna trust you on this.

The girl made latkes. I poached eggs. We fought crime.

[alex]

I ate Surinamese roti for the first time today. Tasty.

[Greg Nog]

The girl made latkes.

Ah, the potato.  One of the only natural forces that can unite the Irish and the Jew.

[Ignatius]

I've been eating those Doritos Collisions for a while now.  I highly recommend the Hot Wings/Blue Cheese combo.  They're the real deal.  I keep thinking I'm sick of them when I go to the store late at night and pass on them, but then a few weeks later I'll get drunk and buy em anyway. They still taste good and make me wish Doritos could do that good of a job with all their flavors...  Unfortunately, Frito-Lays raised prices on the big Doritos bags by 30 cents in the past few weeks...  When you can get some real good regional-brand potato chips for half that price or less, I have a hard time justifying the purchase.

PS they still smell like doritos so don't go and open a bag in the car or around people you want to make friends with.
