@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

New thread started just because I do love this phrase very badly.

Furthermore, I think I may have just found a new favorite Achewood character. MORE COCKTAIL RECIPES

Yeah, Cocktail Recipies is the man. I'm dreaming of him with a Mickey penis voice, talking to 'stad a la Mickey and Stokawski.

"Mister Onstad!!

It probably made his life easy with his name being his job and all. No switching majors for him.

I think cocktail recipes is the greatest thing to ever happen to mankind.
I too want my very own cocktail recipes so that I may love him as dearly as this one is loved.
How can this be arranged?
Please inform.

Drinking crowd, please inform: is the Godless Spaniard a real cocktail or not? I am sadly ignorant of such things.

If it is, it's prolly the type of thing you really shouldn't drink.

I got a kick out of the top shelf of the fridge set-up, eggs all delicately posed as ornamentation and such. 'stad crouching in front of the cold box all getting label placement just so.

ALSO: Marmite, WTF, Marmite!?!


Mmm, seemed a little twee to me.

It's not slang, people, it is a word in the English language.

Twee: Overly precious or nice.

True. It also has the best etymology ever.

This UD definition is more how it's used online though.

Yeah.  Twee is a perfectly cromulent word.

Yeah, Marmite

If it's anything like vegemite, it's nasty. When I was in college, spreading yeast around was a bad thing.

If hitting the pronunciation button again and again so I can hear the man say "twee" is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

The picture looks very careful in its staging, right down to the chef guy peering out from between the Adams peanut butter jar and the imported cocktail onions.  CAN YOU SEE THAT CHRIS ONSTAD VALUES QUALITY INGREDIENTS SUCH AS SRIRACHA AND SOFT COD ROES.
