powdered toast girl

You cannot lightly toast bread by laying it on the still-very-hot burner which has just been used to boil water for tea. All you get is a sizzle, a stench of burnt sugar, and some scorched crumbs. No toasting.

I just thought you all should know that.

(I toasted bread over the flame of burning Bacardi 151 once. What a waste, eh?)

Did you know that you can reheat a slice of pizza in the toaster?

That sounds... messy.

Definately messsy.

Sounds worth it to me, I like toast better than rum.

Heathen! (oh wait..)

During my time in college, at the suggestion of my fraternity brothers, I made Jello shots for one of the parties. Now, I don't drink, so I rather had the mental image of some lab-coated nerd working in a drug lab for the cartel. But, I take pride in my work... when I make Jello shots,

1. I don't make them runny... I put in 5x the prescribed amount of gelatin, using Knox unflavored to boost it up, and
2. I make the shots 70 proof by volume, no watered-down crap.

That means that if I start with 100-proof liquor, I have to dissolve all that stuff in 1/3 the regular amount of water, thendilute with booze... otherwise, you evaporate all the alcohol before it's mixed. Well, they didn't have any high-proof vodka or other neutral spirits to use, so instead, they supplied me with... Bacardi 151. Not being an alcohol connoisseur, I didn't realize that this is a form of alcohol abuse (wasting high-proof rum on Jello shots), but I received compliments from our alumni on the shots, so I figured they had to be good. Just for kicks, I tasted some of the dregs... after pounding the table a few times, I let out one big "WHOA." Yeah... I don't drink. But, you gotta respect a liquor that's got a flame arrester on the mouth of the bottle.

Yes, your username looks familiar. *waves*

Now that I read your userinfo, I think I met you at the last Kinvention North...

[bettywithin.livejournal.com]

Almost certainly. I apologize if I don't specifically recall you... I really didn't know that many people there, and I'm shy about meeting new people out of the blue. I should be there again this March, though.

Heh, you probably don't. My badge said Eshari but I probably was never wearing it since most of the people I talked to already knew who I was.
