Now that you’re done cooking, you’re probably really drunk so this meal is going to be really great.

This was made last night for our latest episode. It tasted wonderful but I don’t remember too much else. Aside from the wide range of things that goes into it, it’s not a very difficult dish at all.

I don’t normally like gifs but this thing is endlessly amusing. It comes from a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fljKx9nvrL4) and makes me sad that I didn’t think of it first. This is just about what I want to do forever and I couldn’t even think of this.
