Insulting bourbon is a capital offense in this thread.

I accidentally clicked on your profile and your defense of bourbon made much more sense now.

Outside of the south, it's unfortunately not very popular. I literally do not know a single other bourbon-lover in my state. Most of them don't like it.

Which is a shame.

It's rather strange, actually; a lot of our production goes overseas.

There's another good reason to live in Kentucky, of course.

Yeah, Derby pie is amazing, provided you get the real thing and not one of the knockoffs with similar-but-different-enough-to-dodge-copyright names. Nothing manages to compare to Kern's.

I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I just found a free cookbook based around eating for $4 a day. Seems really great for people on a tight budget, but everyone needs cheap recipes sometimes. It's definitely worth a read, she's got some cool ideas and I'm surprised some of them are as cheap as they are.

Hey that's pretty good stuff. *downloads*

$120/month/person is a fairly reasonable minimum for a balanced and healthy diet. I know from personal experience that it's possible to stay alive and well for about $40/month, but that may occasionally require skimping on the healthier stuff. You could in theory go even lower with a bit of dumpster diving, but sadly, supermarkets tend to keep their precious garbage behind lock and key nowadays.

Don't forget that you can hit up food banks if you're really in need.

Ace, you'll definitely have to tell us how does your hypervanilla abomination actually taste after it's ready.

I bet it's gonna be something like rose otto: technically pleasant stuff so concentrated that it's revolting.

hmm.

brb.

Edit:
Holy mother of jesus. Sleep-deprived me just knocked back a tablespoon of that, straight. That was quite an experience.

However, I'm currently enjoying a splash of it over ice cream. This shit's divine. The bourbon has mostly fallen to the wayside, leaving a pretty hearty vanilla flavor that's still acceptable in quantities above normal extract. I'm not sure if that's due to the base or not, but either way - a half shot over icecream is just about perfect.

I can't wait to make bread pudding this weekend.

Used the caramel bananas recipe in that cheap meals recipe book thing posted earlier

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They tasted pretty good.
They had a squishy caramel coated outside and banana pudding consistency and taste on the inside though I would suggest adding a little bit more brown sugar than said to make thicker caramel. Or maybe I didn't eye ball it properly

You used normal bananas? HERESY! 

You should use plantains.

Recepie called for bananas and store didn't have any plantains in anyways

That is a benefit, yes. I wonder if that's any more/less expensive than homemaking it.

You don't get very tasty chewable bourbon-soaked vanilla beans afterwards, though.

Step 1: Stale bread, cubed.


Step 2: Eggs, Sugar, milk, butter, plus a very healthy amount of the extract


Step 3: It'll be gone by tomorrow.

Bourbon whiskey + Bourbon vanilla = way to much Bourbon.
