[recipe] Bloody Stupid Mary

1/3 homemade pepper vodka
2/3 homemade V8 juice
tabasco
soy sauce
tsp horseradish (alternatively, dijon mustard)
celery stalk
celery salt
pepper

Top with whatever you want, but make it big. And stupid. Chicken wings, shrimp, ham-wrapped cheese, pretzels, hot peppers, onion rings, fish fingers, pickles, olives, smoky maple bacon, lemon slice, rosemary sprigs, sliders, sausage, smoked brisket and pulled pork…

Pepper vodka:
Fill an empty plastic 500ml plastic bottle with any sub-standard imported vodka you can find. Dump in a handful of whole peppercorns. Then seal the container and stick it in the freezer for two weeks. The vodka will become infused with the peppercorn and the result is an alarmingly drinkable spicy beverage. Alone, this concoction makes for good late night sipping vodka.

V8 juice:
8 cups tomato, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
Small slivers of beet
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
2 cup water, divided
1/2 cup spinach
1 tablespoon parsley

Combine the tomatoes, carrots, beet, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and 1/2 of the water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat. Let simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Add the spinach and parsley and simmer for another five minutes, keeping the pan covered. Remove from heat and let cool for ten minutes. Pour in blender, add remaining 1/2 water, and purée until smooth — about two minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and serve chilled.

Update: One more stupid idea: meatball glass Bloody Mary shots. WANT!!!

[gallery] The mad visuals of Adam Hillman

Posted on October 19, 2016January 9, 2017 By admin

21-year-old, New Jersey-based artist Adam Hillman has gained a ton of online attention over the past year within a secret Facebook group dubbed “unedited smartphone aesthetic pics” — and for good reason. Also known as USAP, it’s a 7000+ strong online community dedicated to the documentation of moments, displays and phenomena that members have witnessed or created, and boasts a large roster of active members and artists who help make it one of the more colorful groups around.

Hillman, however, has risen to become one of the most popular USAP users through his painstakingly crafted series of mesmerizing visual puns that capture the true spirit of ~internet weirdness~.

“Before I found smartphone photography in 2014, I had been creating abstract paintings and drawings for years, utilizing a time-consuming, pattern-oriented style similar to some of my arrangements. I had also been fairly successful in my artistic pursuits — I’ve won an award and had several solo and group exhibitions. However, despite the fact that I’ve been traditionally trained, I am also deeply interested in and influenced by modern and contemporary art, and decided to go to school for art history rather than fine art…And while I hope to make a living off my art some day, I also hope to obtain a museum or gallery position. This nontraditional route, plus the accessibility of internet-based content, is what drew me to a web-based practice, although I have plans to print and hang the arrangements in a more traditional gallery setting as well.”

Edit: more madness :)

Quote of the day

However, you do *need* rules. Driving on the left (or the right or, in parts of Europe, on the left and the right as the mood takes you) is a rule which works, since following it means you're more likely to reach your intended rather than your final destination.
--(Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett)
