― max max max max, Sunday, 21 December 2008 16:01 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm sure it will be much appreciated! I have never had this is it like drinking butter because the thought of that freaks me out a lot.
― tehresa, Sunday, 21 December 2008 16:05 (fifteen years ago) link
No not really. Closer to drinking honey I think. Its really rich though. I had some at little branch last week. I will report back on the rum thread

you should really try making cookies on your own sometime, max. really toughens you up. puts hair on your chest.

hot buttered rum sounds gross actually. but i might be interested in knowing how it is.
― Lingbert, Sunday, 21 December 2008 16:33 (fifteen years ago) link
It was great when made by a professional but it remains to be seen what will happen when i do it myself.

I will keep you in my thoughts. I don't like the idea of drinking honey or butter! Rum maybe.
― tehresa, Sunday, 21 December 2008 16:54 (fifteen years ago) link
im not really sure why i said honey, i guess cause its rich and sweet

you may be interested to know: while todays recipes for hot buttered rum call for rum and batter to be topped off with 3-4 cups of boiling water, in ye olden dayes the drink was prepared by mixing rum, butter, water and spices and then plunging a white-hot poker into the brew until it stopped steaming

I am very interested to know that yes!
― tehresa, Sunday, 21 December 2008 17:22 (fifteen years ago) link
Still not convinced this is something ppl should drink!
― tehresa, Sunday, 21 December 2008 17:23 (fifteen years ago) link
im going to go prepare the batter now
― max max max max, Sunday, 21 December 2008 17:27 (fifteen years ago) link
Ok see that is just wrong! A drink made from batter?!?!
― tehresa, Sunday, 21 December 2008 17:28 (fifteen years ago) link
well its not really batter--its like a bowl of butter + brown sugar + cinammon + nutmeg + cloves... and you scoop a little bit out, put it in a mug w/ some rum and add boiling water
― max max max max, Sunday, 21 December 2008 18:38 (fifteen years ago) link
That is gross, max :(
― tehresa, Sunday, 21 December 2008 19:00 (fifteen years ago) link
protip for you max: ditch everything else and ratchet up the nutmeg quantity. won't taste that good but you'll thank me later!

in rummaging through cabinets and determining we did not have a good alcohol for hot toddy, sister suggested hot buttered rum. i said 'oh haillll no!'.raspberry ginger mojitos ensued.
