Klondaeg's Beard

I’ve always wished I could grow a beard, but no luck so far (though I secretly suspect that Steve has been sneaking into my room to shave me in the middle of the night). When I read Klondaeg the Monster Hunter, I was always jealous of Klondaeg's beard, all bright orange and full of miscellaneous crumbs. I may not be able (or allowed) to grow one, but I’ve figured out how to mix one!

Here’s what you need.

  • One package of instant ramen noodles
  • One cup of boiling water
  • One handful of Goldfish Crackers
  • One zip-lock bag
  • One rolling pin
  • One martini glass
  • Oh, right, alcohol...ummm..2 oz of vodka

Pour the boiling water over the ramen and wait until the noodles are soft and edible. While they warm up, put the Goldfish crackers in a plastic bag and mash them up with a rolling pin. By now your noodles should be ready, so strain them and put them in the martini glass. Add the Goldfish crumbs and vodka, then stir.

Enjoy eati--I mean drinking your delicious cocktail!

Book: Robocopter Ski Patrol by Aaron C. Cross - Drink: The Ace

Okay, so everyone is making such a big foo-faw over a book-reviewing owl and her amazing drinks and reviews and all that and I thought, you know, I can do alcohol stuff too. So I'm going to. Because I've been forced to read every book or novella written by all five current members of the Guild, I know what drinks pair the best with the reading experiences provided by the books. Yeah, that sounds professional. Leave that in.

Right. So, I figured the best place to start would be with the most drunkened of the Guild - AC - and his book (which I am legally required to list as a SPFBO entry...sigh): Robocopter Ski Patrol.

So, in the book, there's a scene where a stupid character named Ace Wifflacor (I hate AC's naming system) is getting drunk on a transport plane and runs out of mixers, so he has to make a substitution, which ends in predictable results. Namely, he blacks out and wakes up in the middle of a firefight in the city of Prague right before a nuclear bomb drops. No, it doesn't make sense in context either. This, like that, is The Ace.

Anyway, it's a really easy recipe, so try to follow along.

What you will need for this recipe is as follows:
A Solo cup (red or otherwise)
Ice (maybe)
Many fluid oz. of rum, preferably toilet bowl cleaner-grade but also gold. None of that white rum crap.
​A bottle of rubbing alcohol - any brand

Here's how you put the recipe together:
​1. Set the glass down on a table, counter, or mini-fridge.
2. If desired, drop a few ice cubes in the glass.
3. Pour in as much rum as you want. More is probably better.
4. Top with a generous glug of rubbing alcohol.
5. Drink.

​Bonne boisson! (That means 'good drink' in French)

    Why?

    Owls think they're so fancy with their websites and many of readers. Well, I can make drinks too!
