Recipes for the Holidays

Today I came across a collection of recipes on Twitter of all places. I hate twitter, and I don’t want to lose these so I will write them down here and attribute them to their original authors the best I can.

Inspector Rebus’s patented recipe for Scotch Eggs (Ian Rankin):

Put eggs on to boil.
Pour a Scotch while you wait.
Keep drinking.
Throw away the eggs.

Martin Burgers (Dean Martin)

1 lb. ground beef
2 oz. bourbon--chilled

Preheat a heavy frying pan and sprinkle 
bottom lightly with table salt. Mix meat,
handling lightly, just enough to form into
four patties. Grill over medium-high 
heat about 4 minutes on each side.

Pour chilled bourbon in chilled shot glass
and serve meat and bourbon on a TV tray.

Sinatra Burgers (Frank Sinatra)

1.  Call for Deano.

2.  Tell him to make you a fuckin burger.

3.  Drink his bourbon.
