I've made garlic vodka before.  You'll be surprised to learn that it's not very good.

I've tried alcoholic beverages (some kinda wierd shot-thingy) with garlic and chili... First of it's not the thing you'd want to get drunk on, and secondly it's just plain *bad*

With actual garlic and chili?  Ew.  No, this is garlic-infused (flavored) vodka.  Still not very good, but better than THAT would be. 

Interestingly, the peppercorn vodka wasn't bad.

With actual garlic and chili, yeah... it was free, which does wonders to the flavor, but still not recommendable... I had to try it out, surprising stuff may make good drinks or shots - like peppercorn, for example - wouldn't have thought that  :)




Since you guys insist having garlic as a topic; cook the garlics in water for say 20 minuttes and then pour out the water - then you can use your garlic in your food without the bad breath potentially being an issue

Ahh, but would you still be able to scare off vampires? That's what I'd like to know...

Are you FUCKING kidding me!!!

My son now has an ear inflammation (not is it called that - but its when puss and shit cause pain by pushing against the eardrum). Most likely a direct result of him having the flu earlier on. And the missus has something similar with her sinuses. So now both are at home...I mean, come on, this is getting silly!!!!

I have several meetings today, but I'll try to get Coeranys and PETG out. They are mostly done already, just need to add in some last details.

I've heard of pouring warm salt water in the ear to dry out the inflamed areas.  Based on our previous discussion, I will now recommend pouring Kasper's garlic-water in his ear.  Also, at a certain point one does have to wonder if we're just not SUPPOSED to have this turn.   ::)

Good luck dealing with it all, Bjorn - sinus and ear problems are some of the worst, and it really sucks having to watch your kid deal with the pain involved in them.  Best wishes.

Avoid using penicillin if at all possible.

Its been shown that if you do use antibiotics to put down an ear infection, the risk of it happening again is higher, than if the body manges to handle it on its own.

On the other hand, if his head is melting it may be the best thing. :-p

I never expected me to say this, but I've actually been a bit relieved that the game has been slow of late. It's been silly season at work since I got back from holiday, so have barely had time to check my e-mail. It should get a bit better now, so I'll try go through my old e-mails and reply to any outstanding messages and questions. If you're waiting for something from me and I don't get back to you, feel free t osend me an e-slap.
