    delightful frozen Midori margaritas and daiquiris
    90 cent drinks. It was a meat market and I was single. https://moosemcgillycuddys.com/

    I've been there! Twice, I think - once with
    Carol Bryant and once without. Frightening.

    They won't let you in if you're over 40!

    What is it with McGillicuddy and variants
    in the popular consciousness? It used to
    be a laughed-at name.

    It is in reality a rare but legit Irish surname. It became a
    humourous thing when Lucille Ball used it as her maiden name
    in "I Love Lucy" and Ricky would sometimes call her a "Silly
    McGillicutty".

    I have made coffee with half a cracked nutmeg (etc.)

    Mulled coffee, that sounds pretty good, but too
    much nutmeg.

    The hot water goes through the drip filter fairly quickly and picks
    up just a little nutmeg flavour. The seed can in fact be used more
    than once. And the pot holds ten 6 oz cups or five 10 oz mugs worth
    of coffee. It would of course be way too much if it was ground up
    first. Same with the cinnamon, cloves and allspice: they were all
    whole, not ground.

    a happy gascar.

    A recent research project of mine has been Bulgarian cuisine. I'm
    fascinated by its convergence of Slavic, Mediterranean and Turkic
    elements. And wonder why it's not more covered internationally.
    Admittedly it was probably pretty awful during the dark communist
    days but I'm thinking before and after.

    Title: Lukanka
    Categories: Bulgarian, Sausage, Pork
    Servings: 2 pounds

    2 lb minced meat (any variety, we
    recommend using more pork)
    2 TB salt
    2 TB cumin
    1/2 ts ground black pepper
    1 ts sweet paprika
    2 TB savory
    hog casings (or other
    sausage links casings)

    (Lukanka is a Bulgarian (sometimes spicy) salami unique to Bulgarian
    cuisine. It is similar to sujuk, but often stronger flavored.
    Lukanka is semi-dried, has a flattened cylindrical shape, and
    brownish-red interior in a skin that is normally covered with a
    white mold. It has a grainy structure. Traditionally, lukanka salami
    is made of pork, veal, and spices (black pepper, cumin, salt),
    minced together and stuffed into a length of dried cow's intestine
    as a casing. After stuffing, the cylindrical salami is hung to dry
    for about 40 to 50 days in a well-ventilated location. In the
    process of drying, the salami is pressed to acquire its typical flat
    form. Lukanka is usually finely sliced and served cold as an
    appetizer or starter. From: Wikipedia )

    Lukanka is the Bulgarian cousin of the Italian sopresatta. In
    essence it is a spicy sausage made of minced meat curried with a lot
    of flavorful spices and half-dried in a cold, windy place for at
    least two months. It is a must have on every table where rakia is
    served. Eat it with wine, beer, rakia, whiskey or any other drink
    you enjoy.

    Mixed all the ingredients together very well. Leave in the fridge
    for about 24-48 hours. Stuff the casings making sure that there is
    no excess air inside. Roll with a rolling pin and hang in a cool,
    dry place, preferably with no direct sunlight. Roll daily for about
    two weeks, trying to press out any excess air, use a needle to let
    air out if necessary. Consume when dry enough.

    ... The turky was overcooked; we have a choice of dark meat or very dark meat

    I have made coffee with half a cracked nutmeg (etc.)
    Same with the cinnamon, cloves and allspice: they were all
    whole, not ground.

    Would it have been as effective to use a tenth the amount of
    preground?

    Nope. Not entirely. Just like mulled wine, the flavour is different
    when prepared that way.
