OT - Vodka

And this one was on wrong side of the country for a while ;) :p (D*m cat finally went to sleep and I got it back:o)

Those are some really really nice pictures all you hogs posted...
I either need a better camera or more of a liquor collection to get down on this thread:grumpy:
 
Despite the naysayer purists, there's nothing wrong with a vodka martini.

Guy, my latest concoctions are probably too salty and olive-tasting for you. I like 'em dirty. Think Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct dirty.

I do like to put the vodka in the freezer. Right now, I'm trying a Norweigan potato vodka called VikingFjord. It's really pretty good stuff. http://vikingfjord.com/

Anyway, I put about three ounces of vodka, a splash (1/4 of a capful) of dry vermouth, a teaspoon or more of olive juice, and at least two olives. With the vodka already icy cold, you can just stir them together.

I'm having one right now, in fact. :thumbup:

Here a Black Paper with a nice FSH that Guy intercepted... the Black Paper may have been Ducci's at one time. Do all INFI roads lead to Ducci? :confused: :confused:

I was soooo motivated, I had to have a Vodka Martini this evening... In fact, I am on #3 whilst packing for a camping trip tomorrow...

I seem to have packed about 30 lbs. of INFI and only about 11 lbs of other stuff... I guess I need to pack more INFI... :eek:


:D

That Meaner did not come to me from 'Ducci, but I cannot say if he had it before then.

I am looking forward to some serious research on the martini formulation. I shall have to set up a proper Experimental Design. Variables will be ounces of vodka, fractional teaspoons of vermouth, fractional teaspoons of olive juice, number of olives.....

He sent me a photo of one he had at one time and the markings on the slabs match EXACTLY!

What I can’t stand it when they make Vodka Martinis at bars and shake them with ice. It makes the drink taste like water.:grumpy:

+1.

I keep my vodka in the freezer. No shaking required. James Bond be damned. :thumbup:
 
Skunk, nice steel and booze but I NEED those 1911 grips! Very fine. Just the thing to go with a custom Kart barrel and, soon, Warren Tactical sights - as soon as they bring them out for 1911s. An excellent closing thought for the day...

The ratios are only super critical on the first martini of the evening :D

Ahhhh the voice of some experience.

However, we here in Busse Land are deeply trained. The first three count here:cool: :thumbup:

To be honest, sometimes I'll still shake the cold vodka, the olive juice, and the vermouth. Other times, I just stir them.

Lately, I've been mostly just stirring. However, Tony G is right about not needing ice. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Tony, That is gorgeous. I am drooling on my keyboard.

Skunk, what is the name of that thing of beauty? I see baby birds beak? Is there another name? Please send it to me.:foot:

Oh yeah and I like very dirty martini's. Much higher percentage of olive juice added. ;)

That d^m knife is so nice and the slabs' beauty so subtle that I can't get the feel in a photo. I will say that my mom has fossilized river rock granite in her kitchen and it has the same feel to it. When I bought that granite for her they said it was 3 Billion years old! You get that same feel from this knife… it is just special.

Here are three bad photos of a knife I will not sell but to one person, well maybe two.

Good advice!!

So, it's another Big Schloss run... 2 hour drive, 2 hour hike, uphill both ways. ;)
Last May:
Big Schloss May '07

So far, my pack weighs 44.1 lbs. It's got a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent, thermals, 6 liters of water, Jet Boil System, 4 packs of dehydrated food, bag 'O' jerky, 1 pair of socks, Extra T-shirt, first aid kit, small pack with fire starting supplies, 3 Fosters Oil Cans (1 bitter!!), Ranger Compass, Titanium cup and sporks, tent latern, small cutting board, 2 HOFSH (one variant) in sheaths, one OJ Warden, a BATAC LE w/ sheath, camp chair strapped to the outside and a few other odds and ends.

An FBM LE will be on my side (MikeyMoto Dangler), and a Fehrman - Shadow Scout and BlackHawk Gladius light will be on my waist.

Trying to see if I can squeeze in a bottle of Tito's or 360 Vodka, along with a small bottle of Extra Dry Vermouth in there as well!! Or maybe I'll just be in traction for a month... :eek:
