It's fluid ounces, volume not weight - I have a wee measuring cup with 4 oz volume that I use to measure. So if converting, ml is what to use.

And yes I know it's archaic but I do love the ounces to cups to pints to quarts to half gallon doubling measuring scheme. And a serving of alcohol is defined as 1.5 oz of a vodka strength liquor here.

Has anyone made this? I have no allspice dram, to me this looks like a recipe that would make a fantastic pitcher drink for Thanksgiving, it reads fall with the cinnamon & allspice.

My work mandated we use the copilot. And the only thing I have found it really good at is converting or extracting information from a PDF to build me a spreadsheet. The native conversion programs in both Adobe and Excel suck so bad.

I have some suppliers who won't send a spreadsheet or CSV nothing that is data, only a PDF.

It's a stupid and computationally expensive way to do it but does solve a problem for me, a problem that doesn't need to exist at all but has frustrated me for years.

Two birds, one stone. I can honestly say to my boss that I am using the copilot for work, and it's a workaround for the insufficient reporting I get from our payroll provider in particular, but also some bulk invoices that are detailed and only come as PDF.

So yes I am in this group. I've only used it for file type conversion, and once to "write" a process document just so it would be formatted in Word, I went in and wrote over most of it.

I manage to pee without a penis. He, pee nis. Could someone who has one explain why he can't just sit on the toilet like we do and why it would cause incontinence?

But absolutely support the right of adults to modify their bodies however they want. For any reason or no reason. Hope he gets the result he's looking for.

I agree on Chernobyl it was so good.

That's not quite true. Medical billing here is hopelessly complicated, a universal system would likely have universal rules, and streamline the process of billing and payments.

So if a medical practice now needs 5 people to do the insurance billing, it might need only one if there was one payer (Medicare) or two if there was a German sort of system, but not 5.

It's a weekend project - I change his timeline to get them Sunday morning, so embiggen the starter at midnight on Friday, mix in the morning, bulk rise over day, shape at night, final rise overnight.

This time I doubled it and will try freezing half un-fried.

Also if you make sourdough, these cookies are the absolute best chocolate chip cookies in the world. I don't put quite as much chocolate in but no other changes the recipe is perfect

I gave up snacking or grazing, don't think it's healthy.

But yeah I see people doing this too, though fewer than I used to.

I like peanut butter in savory stuff much more than in sweet. So I would agree. I don't buy the kind with sugar in it. But I would never make a peanut butter sandwich either, unless the only food in the house was somehow peanut butter and bread.

Someone posted here that they liked a peanut butter and onion sandwich, I'd try that.

Breakfast Cafe con leche, sometimes with toast or oatmeal but always the coffee. Not right away, usually 3 hours after I get up.

Lunch usually leftovers from last night's supper, if there isn't any then a salad or sandwich or whatever the special is in the work cafe

Supper I cook so whatever I want. This week I have food to make one spaghetti day, one day steak & tomatoes marinated in preserved lemon and soy sauce, one day shrimp and pineapple skewers, one day halal chicken, one day beans, rice, and greens from the garden. There is no usual. Different stuff all the time.

Sometimes I bake too, this weekend making sourdough donuts.

More entrepreneurship. Plenty more people would work for themselves or start businesses if they didn't have to worry about healthcare.

Ha! Yes, my husband works out heavy, I am small of bust, and yep he is more stacked than I am.

We think it's funny though and small boobs is his preference, nice for me.

He does say though that if he could go back in time he would tell his younger middle aged self not to bulk, just focus on strength. Having put on the weight, he cannot seem to lose it and now wants to be leaner as he gets older. It's not practical to maintain that much muscle mass, and if you try to ramp down you usually end up fat not smaller.

No, sex should not hurt. Does it hurt when you put in a tampon?

A couple of things to think about. One, yes the skin can be too tight, that can ease with time. Two, if you are not warmed up and turned on, you won't have a good time. Lube does not substitute for arousal, arousal makes room and slip, lube only makes slip. Three, penetrative sex has always felt good not bad to me but only started feeling Really Good after I'd had kids and wasn't so tight structurally.

Maybe for now do things that don't involve penetration, and talk to your GYN - you should do that before having sex anyway, to discuss birth control, etc.

When you have a minute can you transfer the community to !hcsothrowaway@lemmy.world he should be the main moderator, I will be the secondary. Tagging him in this comment but we are already agreed on it.

Minor Demon (thelemmy.club)

1.5 oz rye (Emerald Giant overproof)

0.5oz each of mezcal, Aperol, and Ancho Reyes (rojo)

1 oz lemon juice

Squirt of agave

Shake all with ice, and I would say serve up in a coupe but it's summer, still 90f at 19:00. So I'm having it on ice, and just enjoying the hot weather.

Variation on a Devil's Soul. It would benefit from a float of the Heirloom Pineapple Amaro (and being served up), but had enough oddball ingredients I didn't want to add another. But if you have it, go for it.

Rhinestone Cowboy (thelemmy.club)

2 oz bourbon

3/4 oz lemon

3/4 oz peach liqueur (I used apricot)

2 oz ginger beer

Sprig of mint for muddling and one more for garnish. I used mojito mint, it barely survived our double tap freeze, so it was fresh from the garden.

Mix the first 3 ingredients then use a little of that mix to muddle the mint, then put in the rest & shake with ice, top with ginger beer.

A Mastiha Cocktail (thelemmy.club)

Had to pull out the kitchen scale because all my measuring cups are in the dishwasher. I assume grams are ml but not sure so giving weights here.

50g vodka

25g Mastiha

15g Chartreuse

20g lemon juice

Was meh. I shook some of it with the peel of the lemon, that helped some. Not willing to toss it with the Chartreuse so I spritzed it by adding a bottle of yuzu lime tonic, it's good now but not what I was after.

I was looking for something to do with the mastiha, and had half a lemon but vodka was not the right base for this, I was not feeling gin today, wishing I had grappa or pisco, and I think lime also would have been better than lemon.

But mastiha & Chartreuse - yes. A definite affinity.

Posting because it's so pretty!

2oz bourbon (Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond)

1 oz lemon juice

1 oz Aperol

1 oz Amaro Nonino

Spoonful of Campari

Shaken with ice and poured over new ice in a frozen glass, then parked in the freezer for 5 minutes because summer is here and it's 32C, 90F outside so everything has to be cooled. But beefed up with the extra whiskey and the Campari it's fine to be diluted a little, better than warm.

Maximilian Variation (thelemmy.club)

Kitten for scale.

1 oz tequila claro

1 oz good mezcal

1/2 oz St Germain

1/2 oz Amaro Nonino

1 oz lemon (was too much so a squirt of agave, would change that to 1/2 oz)

Shake all with ice, and if it wasn't so hot, serve up in a coupe.

The kitten was found in our neighbor's car. Less than one pound, fearless little guy. Currently passed out on my lap. We call him Legolas.

Not drinking on weekdays but as my youngest kid is making us supper, I have time for an aperitif.

4oz tepache

4oz light tonic

2oz of the spicy seasonal Publix lemonade (Yuzu/pineapple/habanero - either this is so successful they keep making it or I'm the only one buying it but I think it's the best one they ever made)

It's good. A little spicy, a little bitter and very refreshing.

I often use the big mixer with the dough hook because I don't have time, but the no kneading just mix, rest for 15-45 minutes then stretch & fold every half hour is so pleasant. Feeling the dough develop, getting lighter and stronger each time, not really counting the rounds because it tells me when it's ready to be left alone to rise. It's a very enjoyable process, and more reliable for me than a more standardized method.

Piña Colada (lemmy.world)

No pictures but made piña coladas for my family today.

1 can unsweetened coconut cream

10 oz rum

10 oz fresh pineapple juice

Juice of 2 juicy limes

4 oz simple syrup because all the pineapple was tart

Frozen pineapple chunks, probably 2 cups in volume but not packed.

Scoop of ice, also probably 2 cups in volume but not packed.

First cooled the liquids, mixed, in the freezer. Then everything into the blender. Really good, boozy pineapple smoothie. And it's raining!

33

2 oz fresh pineapple juice

2 oz overproof bourbon (or one with strong flavor)

1 oz amaretto (I used Adriatico)

1/2 oz pineapple amaro

1 oz lemon

Squeeze of agave syrup - if your amaretto is traditional & sweet, omit this, and add a tiny pinch of fine salt.

Shake everything with ice, pour over fresh ice.

It's really good, but I think would be better with a drizzle of syrup from amaretto cherries and a garnish of the same, and probably better with a sweeter amaro. I don't have either right now. But honestly pineapple and whiskey is hard to mess up. It's good.

Yes I moved the glass off the magazine right after the picture.
