I'm known for my cooking skills. Not in a good way. By the grace of some higher power, possibly spatula wielding cooking fairies, I've actually had a taste of success in my culinary feats as of late. This is the spot where I will document my successful endeavors in that room with the oven and spoons and stuff...because let's be honest, if I can make it anyone can...

Pisco Sour
When I went to Peru for my brother's wedding to his Peruvian princess, one of my favorite things was Pisco Sours. Pisco is Peru's national booze. Sweet! When they recently brought me back a bottle, I was determined to make them myself.
2oz Pisco Brandy
1oz lime juice
1/4 oz simple syrup
1/2 egg white
dash of bitters
Throw all but the bitters in a shaker and shake the snot out of it. The egg white's froth up and make a rad foam, which you sprinkle a couple drops of bitter on. I think if I had stuck all the liquid in a blender, it probably would have frothed up better (like in that pic, which was taken in Peru). Obvious you-might-die warning: RAW EGG WHITES. Basically, you're taking your chances. Risky risky!!
