This is also how I spent most of high school and college, hence why I’m now sober.  Read more

How are shrooms in the shower?  Read more

Now I’m wondering what it would be like to eat messy foods in the shower, like ribs.  Read more

I will never own a house because I do not want to deal with yardwork. This city mouse is fine with sprawling public parks that someone else takes care of. If I was in charge, everything would be dead in a week.  Read more

Maybe it would work with a straw?  Read more

How many beers are you downing in the shower to get a buzz on? As you may have guessed from my sobriety, I used to be able to put down a good amount of beer before I got a buzz on.  Read more

I think about smoking a joint in the shower every single time I’m in there, but alas we don’t smoke in the house. One the kids are grown and out of the house, though, it’s going to be like a frat house in that shower.  Read more

You scamps! Read more

Going to respectfully disagree on that last point as I’m sober, but I’m going to take your first two under consideration for my next attempt at shower beer! Read more

Tbh I’m kinda excited about your unintentional orange juice science experiments. When things like this happen, it’s an opportunity to learn something new! And don’t worry, gritty OJ probably won’t kill you.  Read more

I grew up not too far from Coney Island, and I posit that orangeade is the best drink on the menu at the original Nathan’s. It goes so well with hot dogs, fries, and the smell of salty ocean air.

Ahem, that’s “James Beard-nominated Publisher’s Weekly-starred bestselling cookbook author whackadoodle pseudoscientist”, thank you very much. Read more

Earl Grey’s signature flavor comes from the oil of Bergamot oranges. It meshes beautifully with orangeade! Read more

If I’m making a large pitcher, I used fresh bottled juice. Any kind of OJ will work, though, so use whatever works best for you! Read more

Sweet isn’t the only flavor compound in sugar, and there’s three different types of it found in this recipe: sucrose, glucose, and fructose. It is very hard for me to explain the details in my recipe development process because I have synesthesia and everything about it sounds batshit crazy, but in the event anyone… Read more

Yup! And if you’re feeling extra-lazy, you don’t even need to strain it.  Read more

You can skip the sugar if you want to, but note that if you water down orange juice with a quart of unsweetened black tea, it’s not going to be very sweet. Read more

You want those strong tannins in this recipe to balance some of the sugary flavor compounds. There’s good reason why that step is in the instructions!  Read more

Yes! Read more
