Pie Break

I am taking a short break from posting to eat some pie.

And maybe some turkey.

Telepaths will be back next week for the regularly scheduled violence and swearing.

A Useful Skill

This guy with the giant fan went up a few weeks ago. I didn't notice until today that no matter where I stand he looks like he's looking right at me. I think there might be a story in there.

But it isn't this week's story. This week's story is about a quiet guy with an unexpected skill. Besides cooking.

Fair warning, there's pasta, scotch, boats, and a very bloody ax ahead.

The Perfect Sandwich

Buildings covered in ivy, a little ruined, but pretty and benign. This week's story takes place in a neighborhood full of buildings like this.

It's not about buildings though. It's about bacon. It was inspired by a very bad serving of bacon I had with my french toast last week.

The perfect BLT and a very desperate man ahead.

The Green Fairy

This story came from a recipe:

Absinthe Margarita

2 oz absinthe

Sour mix

1/2 oz Gran Marnier or triple sec

Lime juice

wedge lime

Splash tequila

Just substitute absinthe for tequila. Salt the rim, fill glass with ice. Pour in the absinthe and sour mix. Splash in some tequila just to kill the odor and taste of the absinthe. Float the triple sec. Garnish with lime.

It's not technically a drinking story, but there are drinks and a business deal gone wrong.
