Never had a cocktail with egg white, but know that is a classic cocktail ingredient.
I've never even heard of it until now... perhaps I've had them.. but just don't know.
Very common for classic cocktails.
Looking online, I saw that a traditional whiskey sour (and most sours) had egg white. Might have to check into this.

Watching the Apple Event...and I'm a Microsoft / Android guy...
So which existing, old technologies are they adding to their new stuff this year? They always seem to be a decade behind android on so many things.
No outside email is getting through today... yay. Can't wait to get off our on-prem Exchange BS.

@RojoLoco some of these new guys don't know what cold brew means in your case though. Don't you have some insane process for making the strongest coffee possible for yourself?
Good point... I'm talking about cold brew coffee. And yes, somewhere on the recipe thread is my process spelled out in detail. This batch is a new brand of coffee, already coarse ground for cold brew or french press. I'll find the Amazon link in a bit.

@RojoLoco How long does this gallon usually last you? How long would guess that it stays good in the fridge?
Between my gf and I, a gallon goes a week and a half, maybe 2. You want to go 4 to 6oz servings, btw.
Tonight's menu: Hot smoked mahi tacos with pickled onions, red cabbage, and cotija cheese, borracho beans, roasted broccoli.
@WrCombs I usually have some Canadian whiskey around for mixing, but sometimes I'll spring for a nice bourbon or rye. Been looking for the new Whistle Pig "Piggyback" 6 year (should be reasonably priced vs their 10/18 year).
Guinness Stout Chocolate Cake
(This can be made with nearly any kind of stout)
FOR THE CAKE:
Butter for pan
1 cup Guinness stout
10 tablespoons (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups superfine sugar
¾ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
FOR THE TOPPING:
1 ¼ cups confectioners' sugar
8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
½ cup heavy cream
Email Grocery List
PREPARATION
Step 1
For the cake: heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper. In a large saucepan, combine Guinness and butter. Place over medium-low heat until butter melts, then remove from heat. Add cocoa and superfine sugar, and whisk to blend.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Add to Guinness mixture. Add flour and baking soda, and whisk again until smooth. Pour into buttered pan, and bake until risen and firm, 45 minutes to one hour. Place pan on a wire rack and cool completely in pan.
Step 3
For the topping: Using a food processor or by hand, mix confectioners' sugar to break up lumps. Add cream cheese and blend until smooth. Add heavy cream, and mix until smooth and spreadable.
Step 4
Remove cake from pan and place on a platter or cake stand. Ice top of cake only, so that it resembles a frothy pint of Guinness.
Edit: The last 3 times we made this, we used the vanilla toffee stout pictured below. Even better than regular Guinness.

A South African Kung Fu movie about a scientist who has a secret recipe for potato fuel. It's as hilariously terrible as it sounds.

@DustinB3403 What kind of mics and what kind of connectors? The only "new" mic tech is having a USB connection, the rest have been XLR or 1/4" since the 1940s.
There are mini-XLRs too with 3, 4 and 5 pins as well as the small 3.5mm phono connectors.
Yes, but those are subsets of XLR and 1/4 inch. 5 pin mini XLR is either a stereo mic or a DMX lighting connector (carries control signals, not audio). Adapters for those are easy to find.
This is a great idea if it is practical where you are. But this is just a pipe dream anywhere around Atlanta... there are parts of the city where it would be easy, but then you'd be kinda stuck in the city. Getting to "outside the perimeter" here requires a car.

Anybody near Atlanta that has a misguided, criminal-type kid/cousin/nephew/etc that wants to help out with making an incompetent auto repair place actually honor their "warranty"? I'm getting pretty fucking sick of their bullshit, and I kinda feel like a good knee capping would teach the manager a lesson.

Ok this is some of the most amazing shit I've ever seen... Thai musicians on traditional instruments playing "Ghost Riders in the Sky", an American country song. Yes, I love weird music.
@PhlipElder nobody said they bought a house - it said they bought property. Easy to find a plot of undeveloped land for $26k. And yes, out in the sticks you can get a shitbox of a house for that little.
