Is there noticeable sugar in regular tonic?

Has to be. I was surprised to learn how many calories in it. Switched to club soda.

Yes. I think it has about half the sugar of soda pop. which is still a fair bit.

Gin and club soda is definitely not the same.

Yeah. Diet tonic tastes like butt. I don't mind diet soda, but when it comes to mixers, diet tonic and diet ginger beer are the worst. Ever had a Moscow Mule with diet ginger? The worst.

110 calories in a 12 ounce bottle. Say it’s pretty close to regular pop.. But yeah, I’m way more likely to go vodka or gin and tonic vs soda any day.

Why in the holy hot Hell are you reading YT comments in the first place?

I wouldn't do gin and soda but for vodka I do.

My G&Ts are about 4oz gin and 2oz tonic anyway.

Sounds like mine as well. Although, with more lime I can go less tonic.

I was going to start a thread about "life's little tragedies" regarding the diet tonic. not having lime in the house is another one.

Not having certain condiments is also a tragedy. Recently, I had to eat Chinese with no soy sauce. May as well have just hanged me.

That’s a gosh dang tragedy when that happens. Sadly, it happens far too often.

I'm so averse to it I throw away two shriveled up old limes for every one I use.

Yep. My wife asks me why I buy 10 limes. I might need them I respond. Then I throw away 5 of them. So damn wasteful

I ordered General Tsos chicken to go, and got home and there was no white rice. So, it was basically just breaded chicken.

Steven Reichlen has no idea what he is doing as far as making recipes. I'm sure his smoking/grilling technique is on point, but he wastes a lot of expensive products by using them too early in the cooking process, and does a lot of extra nonsense steps that make no difference at the end of the cook. And every goddamn thing has to have a sauce. Even his smoked desserts have sauces. And the sauces are just things he thinks of that represent the style of cooking he is going for... making something asian? Let's make an asian salsa using some sesame oil, scallion, Chinese five spice, diced water chestnuts, freshly grated ginger, and diced shiitake mushrooms. In a blind taste test, I bet he would easily lose to a line cook at a suburban BBQ restaurant.

You need to use your brush at least every 3-4 times. That stuff can not only mess up flavors but it can be a vector for all sorts of nasty shit.

I brush them every time I use them, and I let the heat burn the funk off the grates after the food is done cooking. His grill always looks brand new.
