Gee, it's really too bad none of you guys live in Oregon, I'd invited the lot of you over tonight to try one of my homemade vanilla bourbon milkshakes. Guess a recipe will have to tide ya.

-Vanilla Bourbon Milkshake

-Vanilla Ice Cream
-Milk, the thicker, the better (i.e. 2% over skim, etc. Whole milk works best, if you can get it)
-1 mini bottle or shot of Jim Beam
-Whipped Cream
-Maraschino Cherry
-Hershey's chocolate syrup (optional)

Put a couple good-sized scoops or so (depending on cup size) into a tall glass. Fill glass halfway with milk, then add in bourbon. Stir really well. To thicken, add more ice cream, to thin out, add more milk (or bourbon, if you want it to pack more punch too). When desired thickness is reached, top with whipped cream and a Maraschino Cherry. Add chocolate syrup if desired for extra sweetness.

I just realized, the first sentence in the directions has a hilarious double entendre in it. Cup size. HA!

So.... about how much does it cost to move to Oregon?

[The_Hankerchief]

Eh, living over here ain't too bad. Plus, while you can't buy hard liquor after 7:00 PM, you can buy beer and lighter drinks until two in the morning!

Pffft, it didn't occur to me until after I got way too excited about that recipe what bourbon actually is, haha.

Oops, I probably should have noted this was a 21+ drink. My bad! haha

You can still make it without the bourbon, though, just add in 2/3rds milk instead of filling the glass halfway to compensate for the bourbon, otherwise, it stays really thick. Also, make sure you add in the ingredients in that order: ice cream, milk, bourbon (if desired); otherwise, it gets much more difficult to mix right. To stir, I find that a dinner fork is the most effective at blending everything together. I suppose you could do it in a blender, but handmixing is more fun. Enjoy!

For the record I'm old enough to drink, I just don't drink, so don't sweat it.

But yeah, might still give that recipe a try sometime, sans Whiskey. :D

it's okay, I'm not, but I'm usually playing bartender for family members that are, and sometimes, I'm allowed to sample my creations. haha it's all good!

I'm all kinds of sick right now, so tomorrow I'm gonna make myself a big ass bowl of udon soup.
Here's the recipe if anybody wants to join me.

- 1 package of udon noodles
- 1-2 eggs
- green onion
- soy sauce
- Memmi Noodle Soup Base (oh god this sounds like product placement)
- Rice Wine/Vinegar/Mirin
-dried seaweed (optional)

Instructions
Fill a medium (serves one) or large (serves two) sized pot with water. Then, get a smaller one and do the same. It makes a lot of soup, so choose wisely. Slap those fuckers on the stove and put the bigger one on medium heat.
At this time, add about half the bottle of Memmi Noodle Soup base. Add about a tablespoon of Rice Wine/Vinegar/Mirin. Add another tablespoon of soy sauce.
Taste your broth. If you want it to be more:
A. Sweet: add Soup Base (be sparing, it's strong)
B. Salty or Sharp: Soy Sauce (also strong, watch yo back)
C. Rounded: Add Rice stuff. (This sort of balances out the other two flavors)
(Now if you want, you can let some dried seaweed soak, drain it, and add it for a more "fishy" taste. Some people like it.)
Moving on, let your mixture get HAWT. Drop the noodles in it, too. Chop up a desired amount of green onion and start boiling the water in your smaller pot.
Break your eggs and drop them into the small pot. They're gonna poach. Make sure each one stays in the water for 2-3 minutes.
During that time, your noodles and soup should be hot. Carefully distribute it into bowls.
Take those eggs out, drop them right on top of the noodles. Add green onion.
BAM.
I like to add a squirt of Sriracha sauce because that shit goes with everything.

Hope somebody enjoys, especially if you happen to be sick. I know I will!
Note: depending on your pots, this might make more than you bargain for, so make sure nothing seems funky. This recipe really couldn't be less strict. Just add things to taste and when you like it, you got it.

Dayum, it's been too long since I've had a Potato that didn't come in a box. For me, Microwave/Baked Potatoes >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mashed Potatoes. SO DAMN DELICIOUS.

Spoiler! :

I gotta talk my Aunt into getting some more often, especially since our new Microwave has something our old one didn't; A [Potato] button.
