Adam Kuban: Kublog

We lost our first and second games but clobbered the team we played in the third game.

I rolled in Games 2 and 3.

Game 2 opponents were The Gutterfingers. Also a pun involving the butter/gutter thing. And they’re a nice team, too. They were fun to bowl against. I rolled a 103. Not horrible, but not good.

Game 3 opponents, I don’t remember their team name. I’m sure Tien has it in his league list. I rolled a 157.

I need to see if Tien has been keeping lists of individual scores so I can calculate my average, but based on last week and this week, it’s 114. That’s lame.

In other bowling news, Paul Kermizian, one of the co-owners of the Gutter (who is dating my friend Janelle), mentioned that he tried the MacKinnon recipe that Paul Clarke blogged about on Serious Eats last Friday and has now posted its recipe on a notecard behind the bar there. I tried a sip of his, and IT WAS DAMN GOOD!

Now I’m going to have to introduce him to these guys:

THE HORSEFEATHER
Drop 2 to 3 ice cubes in a rocks glass, pour in about 2 fingers of Irish whiskey, top off with ginger ale, add a couple dashes bitters. Stir and serve.

THE DUBLIN 8
A heavy pour of Irish whiskey, the juice of half a small lime, a teaspoon of sugar, and a few ounces of orange juice and a tiny dash of bitters followed by a splash of soda. Garnish with thin lime wheel.

Both the Horsefeather and the Dublin 8 recipes were created by my friend Jeremy Sidener quite some time ago in Lawrence, Kansas, at one of the various bars he has tended at there. “Dublin 8″ refers to a rough area of Dublin (at least it was rough in the late ’90s; it might be gentrified now that Ireland has had an economic boom). The Horsefeather was named as a nod to a local band, Arthur Dodge & the Horsefeathers.
