The [adjective][species] My Little Pony Cocktail

[adjective][species] - Mon 8 Apr 2013 - 13:00

Recently I spent an afternoon watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, in an attempt to understand why ponies have become so visible in the furry community. (Read the Prologue and my Verdict.)

Criticising the show brought one expected reaction: MLP devotees thought I was unreasonably negative and dismissive of the show’s qualities. But the fact is, I had a blast: the show is charming. Plus I was drunk.

In that spirit, I am proud to present the Official [adjective][species] My Little Pony Cocktail: Vodka is Magic. (Alternate subtitle: The Party Cannon.)

Vodka is Magic

It’s bright pink, sweet without being saccharine, and will put you at peace with the world. This recipe is enough to get one person very drunk.

500 mL (about 15 fl oz) beetroot-infused vodka
100 mL (3 fl oz) sweet white vermouth, perhaps Martini Bianco
juice and peel of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions: Shake over lots of ice until the sugar has dissolved. Strain out the lemon peel and serve, perhaps with another block of ice. Commence MLP:FiM viewing marathon.

***

You’ll need to make your own beetroot vodka. It’s easy, and thrifty: the infusion process will mellow cheap vodka into something perfectly drinkable.

First, cook one medium beetroot: the easiest way is to wrap a raw beetroot in aluminium foil and pop it into a moderate oven (160 °C / 320 °F) for an hour or two, until it’s tender (timing isn’t critical). Slip the skin off under cold running water.

You may be able to buy pre-cooked beetroot, sometimes sold in vacuum packs. Do not use pickled beetroot from a tin. That would be bad.

Slice your beetroot, add it to a bowl or a jar, and pour your vodka over the top. Cover it with an airtight lid (cling film is fine). Leave it to infuse at room temperature for a couple of days. Again, timing isn’t critical: anything from a few hours to a week will be fine.

***

Vodka is Magic will announce itself with an incongruous whiff of beetroot, and a bracingly strong first sip. From there, it’s warming and comforting.

You might serve Vodka is Magic in a martini glass, but it’s not a martini. It’s more a sister drink to the Cosmopolitan, stronger and less sour but equally appropriate for time spent in the company of pastel equines with ludicrous manes.

Happy drinking.

What's the difference in being a furry, and just really liking animals?

Furry Reddit - Mon 8 Apr 2013 - 12:32

I'm not sure which one I am. I REALLY adore anthropomorphic art, and from since I was little, I dreamed of being part white tiger. Is that what being a furry is? Or am I just someone who likes animals more than people?

I'm also scared of diving into this. Not because I think it's all kinky sex garbage, but because of what my BF will think if I start drawing it.

EDIT: Thank you guys already. Less than half an hour, and I get support for choosing my own way. This is da best sub. <3

DOUBLE EDIT: You guys have made me feel SO comfy about it that I will definitely start my art again soon just to give it to you. <333

Not really sure where to post this, but are there any vorish furries around?

Furry Reddit - Mon 8 Apr 2013 - 12:00

Just curious. I'm 21/m/gay/prey and would like to make friends with some furs who are interested in it as well. I'd also really like to meet a nice predator to RP with some time.

Thanks!

Edit: Please don't downvote me if this isn't your thing. :<

Review: ‘Fire and Fur: The Last Sorcerer Dragon’, by Roger C. Schlobin

Furry News Network - Mon 8 Apr 2013 - 04:24
Author: Fred What do university professors do after they retire? If they are like Dr. Roger C. Schlobin, Ph.D., they write a fantasy novel based upon Chinese mythology, self-publish it (in an unusual size; 9” x 6”), and try to get it sold to be made into an animated feature film. Good luck. It seems [...]

Hand Paws Tutorial? (For Newbs?)

Furry Reddit - Sun 7 Apr 2013 - 21:00

I'm going to Furry Connection North this weekend and I will be dressing simply. I have ears, a tail, and a big kitty bell collar... but no paws!

Any simple hand paw making tutorials that are recommended for beginners?

Thank you so much in advance!

EDIT: Having trouble finding the material I want. I think this thread is turning into a 'reference for next time'. But I still value the advance and information you guys have given/will give.
