In any tomato based sauce, vodka, or any strong alcohol doesn't make the dish taste more like alcohol, it releases alcohol soluble elements from the tomato itself, making it taste sweeter, richer and more tomato than even just tomatoes themselves, this adds acidity, which is often tempered by the addition of dairy (usually heavy cream) a la vodka is not a delicate sauce, but any means, it's made with a full intention of every major ingredient hitting well above it's weight. And if you want it even better, try using a good botanical gin or a pepper vodka for even more intensity.

JOHNNY APPLESEED WAS A FUCKING SWEDENBORGIAN??? OF ALL THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL FIGURES TO BE WIZARDS I DID NOT EXPECT APPLESEED TO BE A WIZARD.

[normal-horoscopes]

Oh my god. Okay there's probably a fair amount of mythologizing going on here,and normally I would consider this bullshit but knowing that Appleseed was a Swedenbourgian makes this significantly more likely to be not complete bullshit.

For those that don't know: Swedenbourgianism is a fringe form of Christian mysticism/magic that places central emphasis on compassion and ecology. They're all about pacifism, being vegetarian, and "tending to the garden of God" type stuff. If there was any form of Christianity that the native tribes of the American northeast would vibe with, it would be Swedenbourgianism.
