The Two Mikes

The Two Mikes
Ever wanted to talk with someone about a book you just read? You could just join a book group and talk about it, drink a little, veer off on tangents, work back around to the book again, and finally wrap it up by picking the next book.

But what happens when the book you just read is about about hungry zombies or a haunted house, and your Eat, Pray, Love–reading friends aren’t really into reading it, much less discussing its finer points? That’s what we’re here for. We Two Mikes will be your virtual book group for discussing new and interesting and old and half-forgotten horror books.

If you want to follow along with us, look at the next forbidden book on the table and start reading.

Episode 162: Edgar Cantero's Meddling Kids

 


The Two Mikes hop into the Misery Machine to solve a mystery, along with some damaged kids and a precocious Weimeraner. What they discover is a man in a mask behind a mask behind some tentacles, in a mine, behind a mask.

It's Cocktail Time!

Essential Salts

A day before you make this cocktail, prepare tomato water ice cubes.
  • roughly blend four large tomatoes, a hot pepper, a selection of herbs, and a tbsp of balsamic vinegar
  • pour into fine sieve lined with cheesecloth and let drip into container. Do not press: you want a clear orange liquid
  • make ice cubes out of liquid (save the solids for chili or something)
When ready, rim margarita glasses with a mixture of salts: we recommend Hawaiian salt, smoked salt, and seasoned salt. Just run a lime or lemon wedge around rim, and dredge through salt mixture. Set aside.

In blender pour 1.5 shot of Cuervo Gold tequila and 1.5 shot of sage liqueur per serving you plan to make. Add in four ice cubes per serving. Blend and pour into glasses. Garnish with lime and cilantro or a fried sage leaf.
