Today alone while playing around online, I have planned a two separate events: a Gin and a second Absinthe event for the Washington State Bartender’s Guild (WSBG), I have argued politics, I have read the new menu at Portland’s Teardrop Lounge and I have purchased pomegranate molasses online after reading about how one actually makes pomegranate molasses… The most amazing thing that I did today is sit down here on this comfy couch at Liberty in order to opine via Alcohology’s blog after first being inspired by not just Teardrop’s fantastic cocktail menu but by a great forum for cocktail enthusiasts.

This act is “amazing” simply because this act is possible – thanks to the ol’ Internets. I am most thankful for what many probably still do now know about: Internet Forums.

It became one of my favorite things to drink on hot afternoons throughout my recent trip to Mexico. One of the first things you notice as you start browsing local markets in places like Merida or Mexico City is that many of the stalls are punctuated with big, baskets overflowing with the dried maroon petals of the jamaica flower (also known as hibiscus). If nothing else on this trip, I learned how to properly pronounce jamaica - in reference to the flower, not the country. It is ha-MIKE-uh in Spanish. If store clerks are looking at you funny in the states when you ask for it, try asking for dried hibiscus.

Dried jamaica flowers create one of the most beautiful and delicious infusions you can imagine. Drinks /  pitchfork diaries. Sophie Dahl’s Voluptuous Cooking. Sophie Dahl has spent her life fantasizing about food.

Sophie Dahl’s Voluptuous Cooking

As a little girl, she dreamed about the chocolate river in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, written by her famous grandfather, the children's-book author Roald Dahl. Since then, the 32-year-old has launched her own writing career—both as a journalist (she's a contributing editor for British Vogue and Waitrose Food Illustrated) and a novelist (most recently, Playing with the Grown-ups).

Now, she's combining her love for all things literary and culinary with a cookbook, Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights. Due out in the United States this month, it has already inspired a TV show for BBC Two created by Jamie Oliver's production company, as well as a follow-up book, Miss Dahl's Guide to All Things Lovely, to be published in the U.K. next year. Dahl, a former model, combines sexiness and accessibility in a way that evokes comparisons to Nigella Lawson, another voluptuous British foodie.

We are not big soda drinkers in our house, almost none at all, for all of the obvious reasons (high fructose corn syrup, chemicals, artificial colors,and the environmental impact of all of the packaging and distribution.) But a small spell of stomach queasiness that my husband and I both shared not too long ago (lovely), had me at the grocery store searching for ginger ale, or even better a more gingery ginger beer, sans HFCS and with real ginger as an ingredient. After not an easy time I did find a couple of options, but all ended up being too sweet for my liking. Basil-Infused Vodka: June Cookbook Challenge « Capital Spice.

Based on the type and quality of the ingredients, smoothness gets better and worse. Corn, potatoes, molasses, barley, rye and wheat are the common ingredients for vodka.
