  1. I had to laugh. I was driving home from the bank today when
    I heard a commercial on the radio for Bud Light (that's beer
    for you folks who don't know). They do these 'salute'
    commercials which are just hysterical.

    budlight.combudlight.com

    You must be 21 or older to visit the site (right!) This one
    was a salute to the 'over-the-top carb counter'. (It's not
    on their website yet, but I'm sure it will be soon.) It
    went something like "You're counting carbs... counting down
    until you get to ZERO. Did that artichoke have 13.6 grams
    of carbs or 13.8 grams?" Mr. Over-the-Top Carb Counter, we
    salute you!

    A surprising number of companies are doing this. Their sites
    prompt you for your age or birthdate and won't let you
    proceed if you're not 21 or older. I hit this when looking
    for recipes for a Kentucky Derby Party.

    Thanks god they're doing this. No doubt it's saving society
    from all sorts of mayhem. Imagine what would happen if
    teenagers got their hands on recipes with bourbon in it.

    What idiots.

    Perhaps, but maybe they are doing the minimal amount of due
    diligence to head off potential lawsuits?

    Or did that thought evade your radar screen? Sure did.

    Speaking of Derby time and bourbon... short ribs? This is
    actually an Emeril recipe and I'm not crazy about him but
    the stew is good.

    Ingredients for Stew

    4 lbs beef short-ribs, cut into individual ribs salt and
    freshly ground black pepper 1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup olive oil
    2/2 cub bourbon 3 tbsp chopped garlic 3 bay leaves 2 tbsp
    chopped fresh thyme leaves 4 cups beef stock 1 pint pearl
    onions 1 cup baby carrots or 1 cup sliced carrots 1 cup
    baby turnips or 1 cup sliced turnips 1 1/2 lbs new or
    small red potatoes
    3/4 cup finely chopped parsley 2 tbsp chopped horse-radish

    4. In a mixing bowl, season the short-ribs with salt and
    pepper. Toss with flour and mix well. 2. In a large dutch
    oven, add 1/2 cup of oil. Add 1/2 batch of the meat a
    time and brown them. Repeat. 3. After 3 or 4 minutes ---
    take the beef ribs out and set aside. Add 1/2 cup bourbon
    to deglaze pan. Add beef stock ---add garlic, bay leaves,
    thyme and a teaspoon black pepper. Then add short ribs
    back to the pan with stock Cook for 2 hours. 4. In a
    mixing bowl, add pearl onions, baby carrots peeled, baby
    turnips new potatoes quartered and season with salt and
    pepper. Add vegetables to stew and cook for 1/2 hour.
    Stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley. Then stir in 2
    tbsp horse-radish. Check the seasoning and add salt and
    pepper if needed. Keep warm until ready to serve with
    grits. This is served with grits blended with grated
    white cheddar.Jill

    <laugh> Due diligence? Were you born yesterday? How does
    this prevent access to anything? Who could possibly be too
    dumb to figure out how to get around these "safeguards",
    other than you I mean?

    It's a great commercial. It finishes off w/the line, "The

    All the manufacturers(*) sites do this, from what I've seen.
    You have to *type* in your birthdate rather than just
    pressing the "Yes, I'm 21, button", which only makes it
    slightly harder than getting into a [censored] site.

    Those are clever ads; my favorite is the salute to "Mr. Way
    Too Much Cologne Wearer" and it shows this guy practically
    taking a shower in cologne..

    "That's beer?"

    At the end of a brewer's conference, executives of different
    beer companies decide to have a drink in a bar. The Anheuser-
    Busch executive orders a Bud, the Miller Brewing exec orders
    a Miller Lite, and the Coors exec orders a Coors. Then the
    bartender asks the Guinness executive what he wants to
    drink, and much to everybody's surprise, he orders a Coke.
    "You're not going to order a beer?" his colleagues ask.
    "Naah. If you guys won't drink beer, then neither will I."

    The DH is going to *love* this joke. He's a beer drinkin'
    lad who favors Henry Weinhard's and Bohemia, and looks at
    the Big Three above as absolute swill. What I can't figure
    is, the Big Three above came about from German brewers...how
    could they have managed to produce such, uh, *thin*
    products? More than that, how could the American beer
    drinker have developed a palate for it?

  14. Terry, have him try 'barley wine'. Hubby developed a taste
    for it while in England.

    Thanks for the recommendation. Ironically, the DH and I went
    to high school in England (Lakenheath American HS in
    Suffolk) and we honeymooned in England and have been back a
    few times, yet neither one of us had heard of barley wine.
