Ever since I got Amazon Prime I've been ordering little things here and there as the cost is very affordable now so I'll put a few things I've bought here for your enjoyment.
I recommend everyone here make their life a little easier and buy the best Ice Cube Trays they'll ever see. They make amazing 1oz DENSE cubes. These suckers will stay alive in your drink way longer than a conventional cube. The tray makes 15 at a time, which is fantastic, especially since most drinks will only need 2-3 cubes max. The best part, is that since the tray is silicon, the cubes never get stuck or break when trying to get them out. They just slide right out, every time. Do yourself a favor, order these.

I can't... I can't express to you how much I appreciate knowing these exist. You have changed my life.
Although I appreciate the merit behind defeating desk-condensation, there is something aesthetically appealing about condensation, and as a crazy person who cares about the aesthetics of his drinks, I shall not seek the end of condensation.
Are you coming to Germany?
Hey, the Germans used to have one of those!
Well, to be fair, unless things have drastically changed since the last time I lived in Wisconsin, as long as you have Wisconsin plates on your car, you can pretty much drive whatever speed you like on the freeways, at least up to 15 mph over the limit.
And yes, I am, in fact, lactose tolerant. And I do love cheese. Especially when either my father or I make it ourselves.
Good boy. And it's only in the northern part of the state (where you probably drove through last) where they routinely drive like that.
Down in the Mad town and Milwaukee, they just do what I call the Matt Kenseth School of Driving - weave in and out of traffic at a just-high-enough rate of speed.

After months of delays, my paycheck finally got directly deposited.
Cable bill hasn't posted yet, so the first thing I did was order the whipped cream dispenser, chargers, and chocolate to make mousse for my mom's birthday.

I just got a $21 discount on $90 of whiskey and scotch.
So I get to the counter, and my scotch has one of those 'free sample' bottles. The clerk says he collects those, but he hasn't been able to get my particular one because it's in the box, not just hanging outside on a bottle like so many others. So I told him that he could have it... For a discount. I was kidding, and was totally just going to give it to him, but then he's like, "Yeah, I can do that for you." Done.
The scotch is Glenmorangie, and the whiskey is Tullamore Dew, which I bought because it was my grandfather's favourite, and the last time I had it was at his funeral, so when I saw it there, I decided there's no time like the present to commemorate him.
This sentence didn't end at all the way I was expecting.
Good.
Equipment for mousse was out for delivery before I left work. Chocolate was unaccounted for after it left California sometime Saturday. So I say what the hell and grab a block of Baker's chocolate in the same percentile range as what I ordered.
Toys arrived as expected. I go to bed.
Get up ~10pm, have pizza for breakfast as I watch the 2nd half of the NCAA final. Then I get to work. Not much work. Combine ingredients, melt, cool, fill whipper, charge, shake, wait, serve.
Even with grocery store chocolate, it was goooood. Perfect mousse texture. Slightly bitter, slightly fruity (just like AB said). Filing under minor victory as the good stuff hasn't arrived yet.

I made chocolate mousse a few times when I was younger. I had to whip the eggs and cream by hand because my mom's mixer didn't have a whisk attachment. LOTS of work. The best chocolate I could get my hands on in my little hole-in-the-wall was a bag of Toll House morsels. lol

There's always that chance that someone could go rogue, and the only one who can bring him down is you. Somewhere, a grizzled, cigar smoking Colonel slams down his fist and says in a steely voice, "Get me Covar."
"Goddammit, Cheesy, don't you see, that's exactly who we need right now. The rules got us into this mess!"
