She didn't know because the employee the first time just said come back with a birth certificate so she thought they already had whatever else they needed.

And this was not needed for voting or driving before. You could just renew & use the license in Florida for driving and voting even though it would not work as ID nationwide.

    Not if you have a passport, I just used my passport. But if you don't, and your birth certificate doesn't have your current last name (common for women) they require a paper trail from birth to current name.

    It's a limited time problem, I guess women can just keep their names like guys do, but it's a big fleet to change, all the existing older married women, and also anyone who legally changed their name for any reason and used an ID from a different state to get their ID here.

    My coworker went to renew her driver's license.

    They sent her back, said she needed a birth certificate because she didn't have the star on it yet. She's old and from some small town up north so this took 6 months plus another to get another DMV appointment.

    She went back yesterday and they said no, you also need the marriage certificate from your first marriage, the divorce documentation, the marriage certificate from your second marriage and the divorce documentation from that too.

    So now her license is expired, and she can't renew it until some tiny vital statistics department far from here responds to her with paper copies of all those items.

    I am wildly infuriated.

    Until cars can talk to each other and all are self driving, I prefer to drive. When they know to cooperate and not crash, self driving cars will be better drivers than people I think.

    But mostly I take the electric bike. Like, driving a car is lazy enough, I don't need the car to drive me.

    If mine are dirty, dishwasher wouldn't work anyway. If they aren't, why are they in there? Dishwasher works great on some things but not others, it won't remove egg, avocado, and wouldn't scrub the skillets for me.

    I do use Dawn and briefly soak if necessary. Briefly. Most of my pans are older than any of my kids (so over 30 at least) and I've had to comprehensively strip and reseason two of them, once each, and reseason all of them when I let my husband wash them before he understood them. I got him a chainmail scrubber and explained no overnight soak and if you don't want to deal with it throw it in the bottom oven dirty.

    They just get so so nice and nonstick when they're in good shape.

    Not a dude, dude. I do love most sensory experiences, no trouble with food or sex or whatever. And I think too spontaneous and disorganized to land in autistic territory.

    But even minimally irritating clothing bothers me to probably an unusual degree, yeah. Tags suck. Seams suck. Bras suck. And socks? The technology exists to make them seamless and smooth, thank goodness.

    I still cartwheel. One trick pony in that way, I can only do the cartwheel. When kids are doing them I will casually throw one and it always amuses them. I'm near 60.

    They don't take much strength, it's inertia that carries you over. Hand, hand, foot, foot.

    This was a test-and-adjust drink. I was looking for something with Fernet & Mezcal and everything I saw were stirred very boozy things, I was not in the mood for. I saw one though with cachaca and lime so tried a margarita approach.

    Started with these, shaken:

    1.5 oz tequila

    .75 oz each Fernet and Mezcal

    Juice of one lime.

    Nope. Too flat, too sour. Added about 1/2 oz Pineapple Amaro, and a squirt of Agave, shook again and THIS is a keeper. I guess Fernet does like sweeter drinks more. This one is balanced and I can taste all the ingredients but they did cocktail into a new taste. I usually don't taste the pineapple in the pineapple Amaro but it's shining in this drink - I may try another Fernet-Mezcal-Pineapple Amaro variation (when I am in the mood for stirred and boozy) as I think those together are the magic here.

    Small modifications (lemmy.world)
     

    Just made a penicillin with a splash of banana liqueur - it's not really perceptible as banana but makes it rounder, fuller.

    When I make a paper plane I like double bourbon but also replace some of the Aperol with Campari - less sweet and extra bitter is better.

    What small changes do you always make to a standard recipe?

    Green mango (thelemmy.club)
     

    So, I saw this recipe that inspired me.

    https://punchdrink.com/recipes/green-mango-martini/

    But don't have mango eau de vie and not about to make it, and I think as written it would be too sweet for my palate. And of course everything needs ice here in the summer. I did make the green mango tequila.

    So far I can vouch for tequila, green mango and sauternes - it's a surprisingly good combination.

    This is:

    2.5 oz green mango infused tequila

    1 oz Sauternes wine

    .75 oz lemon

    .25 oz Giffard Apricot (because I have no mango liqueur right now and did you hear Chinola is making a Guava liqueur? I am excited for that.)

    Squirt of honey.

    Shaken with ice.

    My thoughts - the green mango tequila is tart and I think the lemon sort of muddies the flavor. I would try this again with more Sauternes and a splash of mango liqueur, leave out the honey and if it was too sweet adjust with citric or malic acid not lemon.

    I would also like to try the green mango tequila with ginger beer but not today, this is a one and done.

    And I was thinking to convert the recipe into a punch or sangria, a pitcher cocktail using a whole bottle of Sauternes, but I think that it might need to go in a different direction. Again, I do love the combination of the green mango with the Sauternes, and tequila - the main flavor combo is good. I've tried amchur and tequila - the green mango infused tequila worked so much better to get that flavor.

    1 oz tequila blanco

    1/2 oz each mezcal, Campari, passion fruit syrup, ginger syrup and lime.

    Squirt of fire tincture

    Shake these together and add 1-2 oz IPA beer.

    I had to substitute apricot liqueur for the passion fruit and it's really good so I suspect anything fruity would be fine. Beer I used is Jai Alai and only 1 oz, I don't like it but as an ingredient in here can't taste it, must add something though. This is bitter in a great way, somehow not too sweet, I went a little heavy on the lime but close to the 1/2 oz. If you do like beer I think you could safely increase it past the 2 oz and still have something really nice.

    The rainy season is finally here too. So happy to be out here watching the rain.

    Suggest a mocktail? (lemmy.world)
     

    I am halfway through the Dry July and would like to celebrate but at a loss. I have the following ingredients, and define non alcoholic as non intoxicating not completely alcohol free, so splash of something ok.

    N/A liqueurs:

    Pathfinder

    Seedlip Spice

    Other:

    Coffee

    Coconut water, coconut cream

    Tepache de piña

    Enough pineapple to make a little pineapple juice

    Strawberries

    Tonic water

    Yuzu lime tonic water

    Ginger, lemon, lime, bitters

    A pretty full bar, and a small amount of good red wine.

    Considering just Pathfinder in tonic, that ends up like Chinola soda. But with all this I just feel like it could be more interesting!

    Taking July off (I do dry July every year) but this is going on the list for August!

    1 lime

    1 spoonful Tajin

    2 oz tequila

    1/2 oz jalapeno brine

    Bottle of Topo Chico

    Quarter the lime and use one quarter to make a tajin rim on a glass. Mix the juice of the rest of the lime, the tequila, the brine in the glass, add ice, top with topo chico, keep topping off the glass till it's gone. Then, as is traditional, start over :)
