[Holiday] Kentucky Derby Weekend 2011

swimming with horses
Pineappleope.com is suiting up for the 2nd biggest weekend of the year, Kentucky Derby Weekend. For the uneducated, the Kentucky Derby is a horse race, quite famous in PAO offices around the country.

As a special Treat from Pineappleope.com to you, here is a secret recipe to construct the Official PAO Traditional Kentucky Derby Drink, the Mint Julip Elixir

4 c. water
2 c. sugar
4 c. loosely packed fresh mint leaves, chopped
4 c. bourbon
Crushed ice
Fresh mint leaves

Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add chopped mint leaves and simmer 30 minutes. Let syrup stand at room temperature overnight. Strain. Fill julep cups with crushed ice. Combine bourbon and mint syrup; pour over ice. Garnish with mint.

State of the PAOnion – PAO Staff meetup #236.6

Crazy day in PAOville once again. Despite our high profile aquisitions and unstoppable hiring spree, we always find time to enjoy the high life. Today’s PAO event was a doozy, sending several PAO executives straight home afterwards.

Hot, nasty street tacos and cold beverages were downed – but spirits were nothing but upped as PAO looks to wrap up its 3rd solid year of internet dominance. Discussions about street tacos came up over and over – and there was a big accord on the fact that the best street tacos are found deep in the heart of Mexico, where street workers are very generous with the hot, cheesy taco meat.

All in all, the State of the PAOnion is of course summed up by one word – FANTASTICAL. FCUK YEAH, keep it REAL PAO!

[Review Time] Clif Mojo Trail Mix Bar – Peanut Butter Pretzel and Mixed Nuts | Foodenator

PAO sometimes commissions professional food critics on our sister site, FOODENATOR.COM. Not only does this increase our overall knowledge of all things food, but it also saves my hands from typing too much BS. Sometimes you just gotta let the minions do the work, ya know?

Well, a year ago, we did that – and they reviewed the SHIT out of some Clif Bar Mojo action. Go see for yourself:

[Review Time] Clif Mojo Trail Mix Bar – Peanut Butter Pretzel and Mixed Nuts | Foodenator.

First bite – GOOD. Very GOOD. Like.. really, good. Better than any Clif Bar, Power Bar, Luna Bar, and possibly better than every granola bar ever made. Read the rest of this entry »

[Politics] PETA results to hot babes handling slippery sausages to get their message across

Supposedly there’s something to these photos related to PETA – the People Eating Tasty Animals movement. Something like that. We’re not sure what the deal is because.. well.. between these big tits and luscious DSL‘s .. we’re pretty distracted. Throw a comment in if you have any clue what the hell this mayhem is.. and bust to the break to see some more action.
