Plymouth Sloe Gin Makes a Sloe Return
SoCo is not a sloe gin. Alabama Slammers and Sloe Comfortable Screws use both Southern Comfort (which is a fruit, spice, and whiskey flavored liqueur produced since 1874. It is made from a blend of whiskey, peach, orange, vanilla, sugar, and cinnamon flavors according to WIkipedia) and Sloe Gin as their dueling liquors.
A Slow, Long Comfortable Screw Up Against a Cold, Hard Wall with a Kiss - a drink with what is probably the longest drink name I know - consists of:
1oz. vodka
1oz. sloe gin
1oz. Southern Comfort
splash Amaretto
splash Galliano
fill with orange juice
In an iced (cold, hard) highball glass (long), mix sloe gin (slow), Southern Comfort (comfortable), vodka and orange juice (screw). Add a splash of Galliano (wall) and a splash of Amaretto (kiss).
This drink is definitely not my favorite, but it sure makes an impression when someone orders it!
Another Day, Another Meme: 100 Japanese Foods to Try
I have to go over the list and see what I haven't eaten! Since I lived in Japan, I have been trying to find all of the delicious foods I loved and now cannot find. Maybe this list will help me track some of them down!
In Videos: Japanese Fanta Commercials
I love how surreal and confusing some Japanese commercials are. When I lived over there, my favorite flavor of Fanta was the Fanta Melon. It was fluorescent green, didn't taste anything like real melons, but was pure ambrosia. It made a hell of an ice cream float.

Who says you can only have one?
There are definite advantages and disadvantages to a pooled house. I work at a AAA 4 Diamond restaurant in Michigan. When we have buyouts and we all work the same party as a group, we pool. Otherwise, it's up to the individual to make sure the guests have the best night possible and get exactly what they want. Some of the servers have regulars who have been dining with them for 10 years. Am I going to tell him that I deserve part of that tip just because we wear the same apron? No way!
Besides, when the average price per person is about $100, the margin widens. If server A sells 2 ounces of Golden Osetra caviar and server B just had a bunch of in and out diners, should they walk away with the same money? No. I do believe in the individual rewards system. I don't hold a grudge when that happens, I just wait for my turn. Heck, I sold a Macallan 55 year old scotch to a table two weeks ago. The drink (2oz) cost them $1500 to enjoy. Should I share the wealth with the servers? Maybe I would buy them a round the next time we went out for a drink, but they've all been in the same boat as me.
Okay, I am done now before this turns into a bona fide rant.
