Goin to the party, sippin on Bacardi!Vera (Firefly cocktail)
Ingredients:
2 oz. Bourbon whiskey
1/2 oz. Bacardi 151
1/2 oz. Sake
3/4 oz ginger syrup
3-4 dashes Angostura BittersInstructions for Ginger Syrup:
1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup fresh diced Ginger
In a pot or large pan, add the water, sugar, and half of the ginger in the beginning. Boil for 1-2 minutes while mixing. Then add the other half once the first batch gets mushy. This makes it nice and spicy. Let sit until everything is nice and syrupy, then remove from the stove and let cool.Directions: Add ginger syrup and bitters to an Old Fashioned Glass. Next add the rum and whiskey. Fill with cubed ice then float the Sake on top. Before drinking, give the glass a quick swirl to lightly distribute Sake.
Note from the creator:
I figured if Jane would drink a cocktail, it would be one of the original and manliest of cocktails, and Old-Fashion. But in the Firefly universe, American and Chinese cultures have mixed, so I felt it needed an Asian twist. This is where the ginger syrup and Sake comes in. The Bacardi 151 bumps the manliness factor of this drink up by giving a much higher alcohol content, plus the Bacardi gives an extra spicy, smokey flavor. Enjoy yourself a Vera.

In case you didn’t know, there’s a Tumblr that just blogs photos of tea, coffee, and books. Ohh…it’s so hot.

"The only way to find interesting things to talk about is to be open to the world as possible, and tune your machinery to bring as much of it to you as possible, without getting to the point where you’re getting no time to process it. At some juncture, you have to stop reading and start writing. You have to have it in yourself to know when to close the window and say, no, okay, I need to actually think about this now. It is seductive to let successive ways of incident and ideation just wash over you, and a fascinating way to spend your time, but until you use the information, it’s not a productive lifestyle."

I think most of the humor is lost in translation, leaving something distinctly surreal.

Just a Minute TV, Day 2
Now, I promise not to post the episode every weekday for the next two weeks, but this second episode was so much better than the first, I thought it deserved some more touting. Benefits of the doubt, much Stephen Fry - what more could you want?
