I love strawberries.

I've been playing Super Mario 3 for NES all day today, and after beating in Koopa's face after 3 hours of trying to beat the maze that is World 8, I felt inspired to start a new infusion to symbolize... you know... being awesome at Super Mario 3.

. . .

I'd been wanting to do an infusion with strawberries for about a week now (since I tasted how well the apple was coming along), and since strawberries were on sale for $1.88 at Kroger, now was as good a time as any. I didn't really have a feel for how many strawberries I needed to use to get the proper flavor, so I just kind of chose an arbitrary amount, and if I decide it needs more in a few days, I'll add some more. Anyway, I took all the leafy green parts off, and started slicing. I ate a few pieces along the way. What of it?


I added them to my jar and sprinkled some sugar on top, just as you'd do when preparing strawberries to eat yourself. Then I filled the jar with almost exactly 750ml of vodka.


A quick stir and it was done. I've read that this can be done in as little as about four days, but I'll check along the way as usual. Look for updates.


Bryan's Orange Sweet Roll Infusion

Bryan checked on his orange sweet roll infusion again today after having taken the cinnamon out earlier in the week; he suggested that the cinnamon flavor was coming along way too strongly. Anyway, he tasted it again today, and said it was still a little strong of cinnamon, and that he'll probably add some more orange to the mix.


To speed things and add some sweetness, he decided to add some sugar, which should be nice.


And that was that.

We're worried that the nice lady at the liquor store is becoming curious of our alcohol habits and the combined total of 12,750mL of pure vodka that we've purchased in the past two weeks (your basic math skills will tell you that is equivalent to 17 750mL bottles). Either that or she thinks we're all PARTY MACHINES!!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!
