I’ve only tried the oven ones and they’re so bland. Nothing beats deep fried but I don’t have a frier, so I just have them whenever I go to a pub or restaurant.

One restaurant was a con though. I asked for onion rings and they gave me them without the batter. They were onion rings but...not onion rings. :unsure:

I had what are technically onion rings at lunch - sliced though an onion a few times, and fried the rings in garlic olive oil to go with some smoked franks...

Nice for franks, not the same as battered deep fried though...

Had they called them sauteed onion rings, it might not have been as bad, at least you would have known what you were getting.

Well, the stallions disappearing to the pub for a sneaky pint or three while the hearthwarming dinner is cooking is an ancient tradition :)

True ... or sneaking away when the family gets to be too much (I'm guilty of doing that myself in my younger days)

Isn't it the same thing? :)

It's late in the evening, and Longhaul  begins the task of taking down many of the festive holiday decorations.  He wasn't disappointed; he figured many of the others had made other plans to be with friends, and mostly kept the bar open for the straggler with nowhere else to go.  It made for a quiet night as the clock struck the midnight hour.

Finishing the cleaning, Longhaul popped a bottle of champagne and sat at one of the tables.  Filling a champagne flute, he raised it in salute and said, to the empty room,

I wish all of my friends a happy and prosperous New Year, and thank you for your friendship.  I look forward to seeing you all as the year passes.

He drank it down and poured himself another one, and stared out the large window into the night.

I am surprised we didn't get more traffic too - you would think a bar would be popular on NYE, and the site was a LOT more active this time last year (but then, that is true for the site generally I guess; pony conventions got bigger and bigger, but rather than shrink have shut down :( )

Would have popped in, but got distracted by plastic starships again....

Longhaul moves around the bar, making things look extra special. On the wall calendar, the date is circled in bright red. Great care has been taken to make the place clean and minor details have been taken care of in order for the place to look as good as new.

Cracking open one of the more expensive beers in stock, Longhaul pauses and raises it in salute. “Tempest, we’ve never met, but on this, the day of the anniversary of the founding of the SPPBL, I raise my drink in respect and honor of your memory. And, I will continue to do what I can to keep this place active in your honor. Cheers.” He took a sip, and looked around as he sat, a melancholy look across his features. Truly, a bittersweet anniversary to celebrate.

*sends a hoofbump to @Longhaul

I don't think any of us knew @TempestShadow that well; they were one of the many ponies drawn to @Alexshy's presence in the Boop thread, and when they dropped out of contact during the winter storms, it was borne home just how little we did know about them.

Still, when the terrible news finally came though, it seemed oddly fitting that an ex-military pony had died trying to save those who depended on them.

So, given the anniversary of THAT is upon us too, let us raise a glass and honour the memory of a pony who tried to make the world a better place, one lounge at a time, and hope they found their own Equestria at the end.

*raises glass*  I'd gladly trade places with him.

Sorry to hear that; hope things get better for you soon then.

Unlikely to be any mess though, given the lack of customers...
