I was going to report your post.  But I will give you another chance.  I will simply point out that feeding THAT Texas toast to a child is child abuse.  Please give her something delicious and unhealthy;)

Soooo....what would be the “new” formulation??  It sounds delicious.....

1 1/2 ounces Canadian Whisky, 1 1/2 ounces amaretto, 1 ounce lemon juice, 1 tsp simple syrup 1/2 ounce egg white. Dry shake, then ice shake, then rocks glass, twist of lemon rind, cherries.

I would eat that grilled cheese in a heartbeat.   Actually might prefer WW to white bread.   Call me with leftovers.

 

Editied to ask, what is the catsup looking stuff?    Don't contaminate my grilled cheese with anything...well, maybe green chile salsa, but I never have.

For my DW and me this is the right stuff:

Well if Pepperidge Farms says so, who am I to question...

Apparently when you ask how much booze goes in a cocktail it can sometimes be interpreted as the amaretto part rather than the booze part. Hence you end up with a cocktail with twice as much booze as called for.

 

A very intoxicating and very delicious amaretto sour

 

 

Going forward – I think all our amaretto sour’s will contain twice as much Canadian whisky as the bourbon called for

 

 

Uggh. Canadian whiskey reminds me of frat parties and being grossly over served.  An emetic.

It’s come a long way!   You might not recognize it unless you graduated just last week!😂

[Kerry Beal]

Looking outside to see how the evening was coming along - I noticed on of the local docs and one of the other locums who is up (there are a crap load of us here right now) out for a walk. So I tagged along with them down to Low Island for a couple of pictures

That would be lemon gin and Ruby Rouge wine for me!

A flight attendant gave me Canadian club by mistake a year ago. I almost hurled.

This Copper Pot stuff wouldn't remind you of Canadian Club in any way! I'm not a Canadian Rye fan at all.

 Do you see any Canadian Club in our photo?   That’s Forty Creek Copper Pot and it is darn good. Unfortunately their website seems to be down.

Send me a couple bottles for verification purposes.

 Frame-worthy photos! I go to bed too early to see the sunset so I have to count on you.

I'm a fan of the Copper Pot and I'm a fan of bourbon but I don't have the drinking constitution I once had and will probably continue to use the called for 3/4 oz in my amaretto sours no matter which I decide to use. Well, maybe just one with the Manitoulin Variable. Strictly in the interest of playing along, of course.

Ya'll are reminding me of my first ...ahem....well...drinking episode ( MOM STOP READING)

 

I'll say no more except Sloe Gin and 7-Up.

I'm more likely to go to bed in time to see the sunrise.

@chefmd beat me to it.  I was going to ask if there were no child protection services in Ontario.  And those thighs?  Is the CSO still under warrantee?

Almost exactly the same sunrise as I'm sure you get up on the island!

 

BTW, forgot to mention that the building on the right would be right up @Kerry Beal's alley, as it's a hospital facility with a long history beginning in 1885...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouverneur_Health

Of course I'd have to get up a little earlier! Looks like you are going to have a windy day.

 Following your directions of 300°F steam bake for an hour…… After 45 minutes my lovely chicken thighs had shrunk to the size of quail thighs, in another 15 minutes I estimated they would have reached the size of ortolan thighs.  And then, before we had a chance to begin dinner,  the  gendarmerie nationale would be at the door. 

 

They were juicy (the thighs, not the gendarmes) but ashen. 

 

Back to 425°F next time. 

 

 My suspicion is that the Cdn version of the CSO  doesn’t like to faff about and prefers to get on with the job.

I, too, recently tried the thighs at 300°F steam bake for an hour. While Significant Eater loved them, I, too, was disappointed.

 

Do they need to be brined in order to be wonderful - or do I need to try kosher ones?

I like chicken thighs in the CSO on steam-bake at 425°F for 20 - 30 min, depending on size.  I am not inspired to try the hour long 300°F treatment.
