Lounge Cocktail: Egg Nog The family holidays usually require a special cocktail. A cocktail that at a glance looks like a traditional holiday beverage. This is a disguise for high quality Bourbon. Always has, always will. Below you will find the recipe on how to make Egg Nog. Because you receive this newsletter we figure you would rather make the bourbon but that process, although attainable, would be to much to fill the pages of the Lounge Lizard. 4 eggs In a large bowl, you need to whisk the eggs and the vanilla, sugar and 1 cup of the milk until well blended. Then whisk in the rest of the milk. Or go down to the grocery and buy some eggnog. Pour into a short glass adding bourbon at your discretion. Grate a little nutmeg on top and hand it to your relatives. Pour yourself a shot and smile and wave. Cooking

Could be worse Mrs. Jones gets a call from the hospital. They tell her that her husband's
been in a terrible automobile accident. She rushes to the hospital,
runs into the ER and says her husband's been in an accident. They tell
her Dr. Smith is handling the case. They page the doctor. He comes out
into the waiting room to see a terribly upset Mrs. Jones.

Lounging at the movies: Big Fish etc. |
|
Big Fish: This time Tim Burton has truly outdone himself with great film and even better story telling. I was exhausted after this film. It is as incredible as it is passionate. It is imagination and reality wrapped up in human emotion. We loved this movie. Tim Burton takes the story of a Son who is trying to get to know his father in the later years of his life. The son is trying to establish fact from fiction out of a lifetime of stories that where told by his father who was traveling through most of his childhood. Although the stories are unbelievably fantastic, he finds, what everyone finds. For those who look hard enough, the truth. Highly recommended.

Rodger Dodger: Probably was a fine film. It got late. I got tired. Turned it off and returned it without finishing it. Started out as a kid coming to live with an uncle who seems a little shiftless. Willard: Fell asleep. Never saw one rat Revolations: Genetic reproduction of Jesus by a seemingly evil secret society seemed like a great movie to watch with Lounge Experts, Justin and Hillary. We where wrong. It was lame. Get Dog Soldiers if you are ever in doubt. Assassination Tango: Robert Duvall, as aging assassin, is sent to Buenos Aires for a job. While he was in Buenos Aries he discovers the Tango, a sultry dance of the people. As you may have figured by now, this movie sucked. Don't let the scope and the beautiful woman on the cover fool you. Lots of dancing and much less assassinating. Should have been called Tango with a little assassinating and much seemingly senseless dialog. |
B. K. Lounge Eats: Lounge Bar-B-Que |
|||
Bar-B-Que has been a heavily guarded secret in most areas of the south. There is ritual involved in making excellent Bar-B-Que which include everything from preparing a day in advance to drinking heavily. Both valid traditions. Below is one of the best rub and sauce combinations we have created. Ingredients: Rib Rub: Mix in a bowl Sauce:
|
Pour a cup of Bourbon into a cup and open a beer, enjoy. Take the rib rub and rub it into the ribs. Let sit refrigerated for 15 minutes to 24 hours. In a sauce pan, saute onions in olive oil until golden brown. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and simmer covered for 30 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. If you are a girly man you can stain the sauce. Otherwise pour it into a bowl and get out your basting brush. In a preheated 325 degree oven, place a small pan of water on the bottom rack. Place well rubbed ribs on a cookie sheet and place on the middle rack of the oven for about 90 minutes basting every 20 minutes.
*Chili powder is easy to make and much better if made fresh. In The B.K. Lounge Laboratory we take two Ancho peppers, four Pasilla peppers and two Chipotle peppers. In a hot dry pan we roast the peppers until the change color but do not burn. Let cool, de-seed and grind into a fine powder with a coffee grinder. This creates a depth of flavor that will get you out of washing the dishes. |
