We ladies work hard all week, whether it's in the office, at home, running errands, workin' it at the gym, or trying to take over the world.
It's nice to come home at the end of a hectic day, and be greeted by our other half, with a freshly made, pink martini ready for us to savour.


Here's a little recipe for the men who like to tease their women's tastebuds with a (cock)tail.

2 oz. Gin
1 oz. White creme de cacao
1 tsp. Grenadine
1/2 oz. Heavy cream

Combine in a mixing glass, add ice, shake, and strain into a martini glass.

You're welcome.

ISSUE ZERO: the Complete Guide to the Teddy Bears Picnic: Magic Mushroom Curry



There's no secret about the health benefits to India's staple dish, the curry; the dish itself is named after the combinations of spices present, white pepper, ground mustard, ground ginger, cinnamon, roasted cumin, cloves, nutmeg, mace, green cardamom seeds or black cardamom pods, bay leaves and coriander seeds, just some of the spices of the world available. Different countries have different combinations. Then you can add all the stuff that would make Satan himself reach for a pita and a pair of scissors to cut his own tongue out; Elephant Garlic, and about 666 Chillies and a Scotch Bonnet grown in Chernobyl's ground zero. Mostly, cuz thats how Issue Zero does it. (Get with the program.)

You might think to yourself, hell, that sounds tasty, why fix what ain't broke?
(But you wouldn't even say it under your breath in Issue Zeros Kitchen, where we invite ulcers like you call the cops on us... isn't that right, Susan?)
That, annd, hot food makes the Real Active Ingredient travel through your blood stream faster.

The reasoning is this; If you've ever been awakened too early and in the middle of a decent dream, night terror, or hella-wicked-cool nightmare, and no matter how you attempt to induce subconsciousness (drugs, sex, rock and roll, all four) you can't get back to it without a severe departure from the original continuity, then you understand the importance of putting waaaaay too much psychoactive hallucinogens in your healthy melting pot.

the Skinny.
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, add honey oil to flavor.
  • 1 medium onion - taken apart like a redneck infants curiosity with death.
  • 666 chillies - hacked to pieces like you've been drinking all day.
  • 6-10 dried Bird's Eye chillies, fuck it, throw some actual birds in, too
  • 2 whole cardamom pods, check to see if there are mini clones of yourself in it, first
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin seed
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander seed
  • fist-sized ginger root, (underground=hades=good shit)
  • Half teaspoon turmeric
  • Half teaspoon concentrated tomato puree
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves washed in a sieve and left moist for 10 minutes (optional, but they do give the curry that elusive "restaurant" taste, that's for you Susan, you lily-livered backwoods-Analtwit)
Method
  1. Heat the oil over a high as hell heat and add the onions.
  2. Stir fry, then add the chillies and cardamoms and fry more until the spices fatten.
  3. Add the garlic, and turn the heat down a bitch.
  4. Add the cumin, coriander, ginger and turmeric and leave to fry over a low heat for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring furiously, like the Doctor in "SAW."
  5. Add about a Mickey of hot water, or whiskey (whathefuckever, Susan,) the tomato puree and the salt, simmer for 30 minutes.
  6. Get some dead animals, remove the skin (or not) and throw them in.
  7. If you are using the fenugreek leaves add them 10 minutes before the end of the cooking. If you are making a chick pea curry add them now too. At the end of the cooking there should be just a thick, hot as magma, hella-tasty sauce.
  8. Susan, go find your purse, and see if you can't find some more chillies.
  9. Add 112 grams of Psilocybin mushrooms.
  10. Let sit to stew in its own juices, like a fuckin terrified rich kid in the back of the Douche-Bag Elites stolen mini-van, waiting to see if their parents even want them back.
  11. (Just for Susan) Make yourself some rice and use it as a base on your plate, so when your candy ass is burping/puking/running outta both ends and your nose, the idea that We told you it would it help will comfort you (you gullible twit) in the brief moments of clarity that you'll wish you had while you run screaming, naked, down the street looking for something sharp to swallow as the red dragons above close in on you. (Bitch)
  12. GOOD LUCK! and ENJOY!
ISSUE ZERO STRONGLY SUGGESTS YOU FIND A OUIJA BOARD BEFORE DINNER HITS THE TABLE.

ISSUE ZERO: The Complete Guide to the Teddy Bears Picnic: the Molitov Cocktail

If you've ever accidentally set a bottle of lighter fluid on fire, and instead of running, you just kinda, stared at it, as it burnt through the coffee table, all glassy in the eyes, then the Molitov Cocktail is your new best friend.

When Soviet People’s Commissar for Foreign AffairsVyacheslav Molotov claimed in radio broadcasts that the Soviet Union was not dropping bombs but rather delivering food to the starving Finns, the Finns started to call the air bombs Molotov bread baskets.[2] Soon they responded by attacking advancing tanks with “Molotov cocktails.” At first the term was used to describe only the burning mixture itself, but in practical use the term was soon applied to the combination of both the bottle and its contents. This Finnish use of the hand- or sling-thrown explosive against Soviet tanks was repeated in the subsequent Continuation War. Molotov cocktails were eventually mass-produced by the Alko corporation at its Rajamäki distillery, bundled with matches to light them. Production totalled 450,000 during the Winter War. The original design of Molotov cocktail was a mixture of ethanol, tar, and gasoline in a 750 ml bottle. The bottle had two long pyrotechnic storm matches attached to either side. Before use one or both of the matches was lit; when the bottle broke on impact, the mixture ignited. The storm matches were found to be safer to use than a burning rag on the mouth of the bottle.
-WIKIPEDIA

Well, it says there that there's a safer way to make a Moli, (my pet name for the party favor) but to them I say, go turn in your balls and get a whole new line of g-strings before summer gets here, Susan.
The best part about the Moli?
It's so easy to make.
You probably made one, and didn't even know it.

MATERIALS:
- 1 liter bottle (I prefer Vino Magnums)
- Sweet, sweet Gasolina.
- A piece of cloth. (The lone sock left after the goblin raid)

PROCEDURE:
-COMBINE ALL THREE
(Fuck, if you can't figure this one out, I might as well come over to your place and help myself out to your fridge while I make one for you, Susan)
-Shake, Light, Throw Far Away.

ISSUE ZERO: Doing What We're Told.


For those that think they came up with all their own ideas, believe me, even the best of us admit, we got a little help from a friend.

Sometimes, they are friends we don't want to admit we even have. The fact of the matter is they play a major role in our lives.
