Bourbon,
Liz:
Hmm. Yes, I think that would be enough. Just make sure it is lengthwise, not widthwise. But I will let you skip Lake Michigan so you do not have to go out of your way.
Ballard:
Score.
calenlass:
So bourbon.
I have a bottle of Elijah Craig. It was on sale for $17. I do not know what I did to make God smile upon me so, and it is not as nice as the Woodford Reserve I had a while ago but I cannot afford that now so this is what I am hoarding and keeping secret and safe and away from my unappreciative housemates.
On a whim, I also bought a $10 bottle of brandy. What the hell does one do with brandy? I tried some and it was... interesting. I made a hot toddy with tea, and it tasted like cough syrup. This makes me sad, because I always thought brandy would be tastier, and I took the recommendation of people working at the booze store when I picked this out. I know this is not the brandy thread, but seriously, what can I do with it?
Inlander:
Brandy butter. BRANDY BUTTER. BRANDY BUTTER.
It will be Christmas time. Christmas time is brandy time. If you are having Christmas pudding then serving it with brandy butter is essential. Also, when you serve the cake you douse it in brandy, turn off all the lights, and set it on fire, and it's spectacular and beautiful and pretty damn cool.
These are the things we do with brandy in my family.
calenlass:
I do not think we have ever done that in my family. Maybe I will start a new tradition! I think you also generally flambé things in brandy, right? I think I remember my granddad makes a pretty excellent banana flambé, so I will ask him.
Now I wonder what a bourbon cake would be like. I do not think I would want to set it on fire, though, even for the spectacle, because that would be a waste of bourbon.
