Bols has a new crafty blue Curacao with a rum base, with cardamom, grains of paradise, and vanilla in the mix

Dry Curacao was dreamed up by Dave Wondrich trying to approximate orange liqueurs from the past, before the proliferation of neutral grain spirits as the base to everything; it's more akin to Grand Marnier (brandy base, spices in the flavor profile), but less sweet

Triple sec is, broadly, a family of orange liqueurs. Cointreau is just a brand; Combier is another famous French one (and claim to have invented it)

Curacao is the Dutch version, and often includes herbs and spices in the flavor profile, versus the straight orange flavor of triple sec.

Did I get home from work at 4:45 AM? Yes.

Did a drag queen make fun of me for watching COFH on my iPad during her show? Also yes.

From your keyboard to God's ears

Friday COFH is a sin and I hate it.

Also monk fruit as a sweetener, to me, is more detectable as a flavor in something than aspartame or other artificial sweeteners

As with anything edible/potable, the answer to "why is this good" is always "more sugar and/or fat than is otherwise acceptable"

Ok but which FAST service has the Garfield specials of my childhood?

Oh man, I remember sitting in my buddy's 1992 Volvo 240 after spring football practice listening to this for the first time when it came out. 17 year old me listened to this Fallen every night as I went to sleep for six solid months

THANK you Spur. I've never had a bite of mac & cheese that made me want it over anything else on the holiday menu. Even the very best mac & cheese tops out at like a C-.
