Re: What Not To Drink This Week – Jack Daniels and Cola Edition

Red Cup Spirits — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 11:46:44 -0000

Two of the oldest & greatest brands team up to deliver an age old cocktail mix, in a Ready to Drink (RTD) format using a 60 year old can design.

Since taste is enhanced by aroma (that you can't get from a can), only when poured to a glass - Jack needs a glass in order to appreciate its great taste. Rather than "ready to drink" they should be called "ready to pour".

Doesn't a modern day RTD deserve a new can design?

This is by far the worst review I have ever read in my life MY GOD. The only thing worse than the jack & coke cans is your writing Jesus Christ how many times did you get dropped, I wish they dropped you one more time would have been enough to keep you from thinking it was a good idea to publish this.

Re: Rocco’s Dinner Party

Over a decade later, I've finally had the opportunity to watch the entire season. Very late to the party (and now irrelevant lol), but I feel like I need to get this off my chest. Though I agree with most of what you wrote, I just wanted to touch a little more on the dining room designer (Jes). I found it super awkward that every time she came out, she'd have to give Rocco a little squeeze, and a kiss (friendly rriends sure). But as the episodes went on, she was becoming more friendly, and flirty. I felt a sort of...second hand embarassment for her. Maybe it would have felt different if Rocco reciprocated in some way. But he just stood there, indifferent, focused on his task. If they were trying to evoke "chemistry", even innocently, it didn't work. If they were trying to show that she was being extra...and he's just used to having that effect on woman...they did that, spot on...lol.

I have a patch of Jerusalem artichokes in my allotment and the blighters come back year after year. Problem is that I don't like them, or at least I thought I didn't. I have just tried this recipe, and it is awesome. Thank you. I finally have something to do with them. This is a 5* recipe, and I'll be eating it all winter!

They still might be..if eaten when ripe. The skin should be darker and the flesh should be pinkish.

I agree but one must also do some research first before trying something new and make sure they are doing it properly. It is like some on eating a green banana and the spitting it out saying yuck this tastes bad, I won't eat that again, but you didn't eat the banana in it's intended form to be consumed. If one doesn't make themselves knowledgeable, not only can you be mislead and miss out on something good it could be harmful as well.

This is not true, my family is from Trinidad, the Chennette (what Trini's call this fruit) fruit is very sweet in Trinidad. The ones the author posted photo's of look as if they are not ripe, having a yellowish coloring as compared to the sweet ripe ones found in Trinidad which have a more pinkish coloring. You can find Chennette sold in bunches on the road sides all over Trinidad. I live in Florida so thankfully I get to eat them often, and am growing my own tree, along with mango trees, in my backyard.
