Those Death & Co. recipes are always a pain in the ass since they have like 7 ingredients and half of them are usually like.. things you can't buy, or have to steep for a week, etc etc.. but THIS one was one of the more accessible ones.. and like all D&C recipes, super delicious. Hope you dig it, always great hearing from you, Ann!! Cheers!!
I played pokemon for a bit and then my dad started playing... He was so proud of himself for getting a bike, so he saved right away, overwriting my game... I think the bike is the first thing you get... Awesome video and I want to show it to my nephew... I'll make him and his sister some pineapple juice, lime juice, and orgeat next time I see those loser teetotalers...

haha! Sorry for your loss... of game save. Always a bummer. I actually never played pokemon ever, so Jess was the expert on this one, and she actually animated the entire intro, so I defer to her Pokemon expertise. Glad you enjoyed it! This recipe is a doozy, I really do love it, I should make it more often-- anything from Death & Co. is usually a winner!
Will be trying this tonight during my horror movie marathon tonight. Excellent. Hey I notice you travel a lot to bars and such...how about quick tours or maybe shorts to add to your channel. Could help with getting more subs.

It’s true! Funny enough, we do film a lot of the bars we go to, and then never do anything with it 😅 we should make shorts out of it, that’s a great suggestion!

What crushed/nugget ice doohicky/machine do you use? I can't justify the price of the GE Opal and I'm not quite happy with a vintage Swing-A-Way manual crusher, so always looking for options

My personal advice for crushed ice is just add ice cubes to a ice cream tub over the course of a week, maybe two, and then use a lewis bag and mallet to crush it on the day you need it, then store in the tubs. In the US you can go to places like Sonic and such and buy bags of pebble ice.

Amazingly, I use a Nuvantee hand-crank crusher. It's been pretty amazing, and have been using them for a few years now. Over time with repeated use they can get a bit worn down, but they're fairly inexpensive and also small and compact, but they get the job done: www.amazon.com/Nuvantee-Machine-Fineness-Stainless-Non-Slip/dp/B06Y1VM9RT

@@hakupaku42 Absolutely. I'd say just be gentle with it, I think some folks try to force the blades in the Nuvantee when the ice gets stuck, and the blades either snap off or the handle snaps.. but my wife and I use it gingerly and it usually holds up for 2 years
