Speaker 1: Welcome to Criminalia, a production of Shonda Land Audio in
Speaker 1: partnership with I Heart Radio. He was hardly the only
Speaker 1: professional body snatcher or resurrection man as the press like
Speaker 1: to call him in Washington, d C. In the late
Speaker 1: nineteenth century, but he's definitely one of the most colorful
Speaker 1: and his name lives on today. Welcome to Criminalia. I'm
Speaker 1: Maria tram Marquis and I'm Holly Fry. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Man named William M. Jansen, also known as Vigo Ross,
Speaker 1: Vigo Jansen, Vigo Jansen Ross, and sometimes even James Jardine Jansen,
Speaker 1: was a Danish immigrant who became one of the most
Speaker 1: famous or infamous body snatchers along the East coast of
Speaker 1: the United States during the nineteenth century. He claimed to
Speaker 1: have had medical training in his native country, and some
Speaker 1: reports do refer to him as a talented practitioner, which
Speaker 1: seems to back up that claim. Maybe not. It is
Speaker 1: also said, though, that his alcoholism and not really any
Speaker 1: questions about his medical training, was what kept him from
Speaker 1: practicing in the United States. But right now we're not
Speaker 1: interested in either of those things. Actually, what we do
Speaker 1: know at some point is Jansen, who was probably pronounced
Speaker 1: as Johnson in his native country, but it gets americanized,
Speaker 1: so we're going with that. But he became known here
Speaker 1: as Jansen, the Resurrectionist and even the resurrection King. Jansen
Speaker 1: was a professional body snatcher who dug up graves in
Speaker 1: burial grounds around Washington, d c. And sold the stolen
Speaker 1: corpses to local medical colleges and universities, and because there
Speaker 1: were several medical schools in Washington, the city became a
Speaker 1: kind of hub for such activity. He's also known to
Speaker 1: have said there was no better business to be in
Speaker 1: for making money. Courses in anatomy and dissection were prerequisites
Speaker 1: for all new medical students, and as enrollment grew, that
Speaker 1: requirement spurred the demand for bodies, and with an increase
Speaker 1: in demand came an increase in price. The city had
Speaker 1: a finite number of corpses to be disinterred, and each
Speaker 1: corpse was a hot commodity. According to one account, a
Speaker 1: local doctor who became a professional resurrectionist claimed that it
Speaker 1: was pretty standard to receive upwards of a hundred dollars
Speaker 1: per body sold, or about half that if the market
Speaker 1: was overloaded. You should take those numbers with a grain
Speaker 1: of salt. Though there's a different account of the profession
Speaker 1: that stated that bodies would be sold for about twenty
Speaker 1: dollars to local medical schools or hospitals for research purposes,
Speaker 1: and a completely different report says that the price for
Speaker 1: corpses typically ranged from fifteen dollars to twenty five dollars
Speaker 1: in Washington at the time, unskilled laborers could expect to
Speaker 1: make a couple of dollars a day. So you can
Speaker 1: see how body snatching would be pretty lucrative work. Regardless
Speaker 1: of which of the aforementioned price points is the most accurate,
Speaker 1: and any of these numbers are actually pretty good money
Speaker 1: for someone plying the body trade in the late nineteenth century.
Speaker 1: Jansen's exact years in operation are a little bit fuzzy,
Speaker 1: but he was absolutely operating in the eighteen eighties. Thomas Dwight,
Speaker 1: an American physician, anatomist, teacher, and the person known as
Speaker 1: the father of American forensic anthropology, was a critic of
Speaker 1: the resurrectionists. He spoke about the deplorable conditions of the
Speaker 1: trade and the immoral and unethical ways body snatchers made
Speaker 1: their money. We quote, not only has the professional body
Speaker 1: snatcher flourished, but a new figure has arisen, the dealer
Speaker 1: in dead bodies, who, either by theft or by corruption,
Speaker 1: is able to distribute them at a high rate of
Speaker 1: payment to colleges throughout the country. The history of the
Speaker 1: District of Columbia is in this respect a truly disgraceful one.
Speaker 1: We have had the demoralizing spectacle of some five hundred
Speaker 1: students among several schools, almost under the shadow of the capital,
Speaker 1: secting bodies that everyone knew had been illegally obtained. While
Speaker 1: many medical professionals commented similarly on the sheer audacity of
Speaker 1: this work, they also supplied the money to keep that supply.
Speaker 1: Chain Moving cadavers had become as indispensable to medicine as
Speaker 1: a surgeon's scalpel. Dissecting cadavers was important to understanding and
Speaker 1: learning human anatomy. But to be fair, no one found
Speaker 1: the dissection of human cadavers a pleasant undertaking. It was
Speaker 1: a necessary one. Scottish anatomist William Hunter said about it, quote,
Speaker 1: anatomy is the basis of surgery. It informs the head,
Speaker 1: guides the hand, and familiarizes the heart to a kind
Speaker 1: of necessary in humanity. Until the very end of the
Speaker 1: nineteenth century, the laws about grave robbing and body snatching
Speaker 1: were fairly lacks in Washington, d c. And by fairly
Speaker 1: lacks we mean there was no law against body snatching
Speaker 1: in the District of Columbia until the eighteen ninet As
Speaker 1: long as the resurrectionist left the victim's clothing and any
Speaker 1: other items behind, they couldn't be prosecuted for larceny. As
Speaker 1: a result, police who caught a body snatcher, even in
Speaker 1: the act of snatching a body, could only charge them
Speaker 1: with violation of some obscure or vaguely relevant law that
Speaker 1: brought about nothing more than a very minor penalty. Many
Speaker 1: resurrectionists in the city, though, took everything from the grave,
Speaker 1: which was a risky proposition, although probably easier than undressing
Speaker 1: a dead body. We are going to take a break
Speaker 1: here for a word from our sponsor, and when we're
Speaker 1: back we will talk about Jansen's first high profile job
Speaker 1: and arrest. Welcome back to Criminalia. Jansen's first big job
Speaker 1: wasn't his most famous job. Let's explain. Although he is
Speaker 1: best known for his work in the District of Columbia.
Speaker 1: William Jansen's first high profile body snatching job was in Baltimore, Maryland.
Speaker 1: That was in December of eighteen eighty and Jansen was
Speaker 1: arrested for snatching the corpses of two women, and Carter
Speaker 1: and Jenny Smith from the Baltimore Cemetery. But it wasn't
Speaker 1: because he was caught in the act of stealing these bodies.
Speaker 1: In fact, he was known to be pretty meticulous when
Speaker 1: it came to covering up his tracks. He was arrested
Speaker 1: after a relative of the deceased mother and daughter, a
Speaker 1: woman who was named Elizabeth Joyner, had a dream that
Speaker 1: their bodies had been stolen. She reported her dream to
Speaker 1: the authorities, and it turns out she was right. It's
Speaker 1: from reports of this case that we know Jansen's appearance.
Speaker 1: He was quote about five ft eight inches high, large
Speaker 1: robust frame, black hair, swarthy complexion, and with accountenance anything
Speaker 1: but open. He wore a long rubber coat, rubber boots,
Speaker 1: and heavy gloves to work. According to this same newspaper account,
Speaker 1: he also seemed to be perpetually drunk, possibly confirming the
Speaker 1: rumor we learned about him at the top of the episode.
Speaker 1: Of note, we also have learned so far this season
Speaker 1: that this seems to have been a kind of occupational
Speaker 1: hazard among body snatchers. One famous resurrectionist and we won't
Speaker 1: name names because he's on our list of people to
Speaker 1: talk about this season. He's quoted as saying he kept
Speaker 1: a bottle on his bedside table just in case he
Speaker 1: woke up. Resurrectionists, also called ghoules in media reports from
Speaker 1: the time, we're by nature a bold sort of person
Speaker 1: you needed to be for the kind of job you
Speaker 1: were trying to pull off every night. But Jansen was bold,
Speaker 1: all caps on that. In Washington, d c. In January three,
Speaker 1: he snatched the body of Charles Shaw, a nineteen year
Speaker 1: old black man who had been executed by hanging for
Speaker 1: the murder of his sister. He stole that body, and
Speaker 1: he sold it, and then he stole it a second time,
Speaker 1: and it all happened within thirty six hours of Shaw's execution.
Speaker 1: According to reports by the Washington Post, Shaw had been
Speaker 1: buried in Potter's Field shortly after his death. Just in
Speaker 1: case you don't know that term. A potter's field is
Speaker 1: a public burial place for the poor, or for unknown persons,
Speaker 1: or for criminals. It was daytime when Shaw was interred,
Speaker 1: so not the typical time of day when a resurrection
Speaker 1: man would normally work. Part of their entire success was
Speaker 1: that they worked under cover of darkness and could hide
Speaker 1: their activities and their faces. But within an hour after
Speaker 1: Shaw's burial, Jansen was on the scene exhuming the body
Speaker 1: in broad daylight. According to the post, Jansen joke quote,
Speaker 1: go and get the wagon and I will hold him.
Speaker 1: He can't get away from me now. The reporter wrote, quote,
Speaker 1: no other man on earth would have had the nerve
Speaker 1: to enter a cemetery in broad daylight and exume a corpse.
Speaker 1: What happened next wasn't typical for Jansen. Jensen felt he
Speaker 1: was cheated out of his share of profits during the
Speaker 1: sale of the corpse, which was to have been sold
Speaker 1: for eighteen dollars. The details of what happened when Shaw's
Speaker 1: corpse was sold to Georgetown berries among local news reports,
Speaker 1: though the first was like this. Jansen sent his assistant
Speaker 1: to sell Shaw's body to Georgetown Medical School and expected
Speaker 1: him to return with payment. But medical students at Georgetown
Speaker 1: refused to pay Jensen's asking price, and his assistant returned
Speaker 1: with only half of the agreed race. Jensen retaliated with
Speaker 1: a plan to steal the body back. The second goes
Speaker 1: like this. According to Jansen, he snatched Shaw's body in
Speaker 1: the company of a doctor Crook, who was a physician
Speaker 1: at Georgetown Medical School. Upon being received at Georgetown, the
Speaker 1: corpse was placed on a dissecting board, as was customary.
Speaker 1: According to the Post, the physicians and students divvied up
Speaker 1: and auctioned off parts of the cadaver. This sounds horrifying
Speaker 1: as leeve, but it was apparently pretty common practice upon
Speaker 1: receiving a new corpse at a medical school, different classes
Speaker 1: would be studying different parts of anatomy, so it makes
Speaker 1: sense that they could use one corpse for multiple purposes.
Speaker 1: Shaw's arms and legs, for instance, are reported to have
Speaker 1: been sold for three dollars each. When it came to
Speaker 1: the financial piece, Crook, it seemed to Jansen ended up
Speaker 1: pocketing most, if not all, of the money, and Jansen, angry,
Speaker 1: actually told a Post reporter quote, I will take that
Speaker 1: body out tonight if I am arrested in the attempt.
Speaker 1: It belongs to me. I got it and I have
Speaker 1: not been treated right. Whichever details you prefer, one thing
Speaker 1: is sure. Jansen was upset over the treatment of the
Speaker 1: body and the treatment of himself, and he did return
Speaker 1: to Georgetown Medical to take it back. The story diverges
Speaker 1: a bit here again. According to The Washington Post, Jansen
Speaker 1: needed another person to help him transport the body and
Speaker 1: hired him and named John Mack for the job. Mac
Speaker 1: was a local hack or hack Man that was a
Speaker 1: taxi driver at the time. For two dollars according to Mac,
Speaker 1: or five dollars according to Jansen, and a fresh bottle
Speaker 1: of whiskey. According to both accounts, Mac transported Jansen along
Speaker 1: with the cadaver to Freedman Hospital, which was very close
Speaker 1: to where you'll find present day Howard University. Unfortunately, though,
Speaker 1: that bottle of whiskey was their downfall. Apparently they traded
Speaker 1: and drank it at the same time. Because Mac was
Speaker 1: unable to complete the mission, he mistakenly took them to
Speaker 1: Colombian University's National Medical College, which is now George Washington
Speaker 1: Medical School, and that was about three miles away from
Speaker 1: the correct destination. By the time Jansen got them to Freedman,
Speaker 1: the sun was rising and Mac had a change of heart.
Speaker 1: He left the scene as soon as they arrived and
Speaker 1: reported Jansen at the second Precinct station on U Street,
Speaker 1: where he also turned Shaw's corpse over to the authorities.
Speaker 1: Jensen was arrested that same day and reportedly told the
Speaker 1: arresting officer quote, I've been expecting you. I knew he
Speaker 1: would come. He was arrested and charged with transporting a
Speaker 1: human corpse through the streets without a permit, but he
Speaker 1: was convicted of malicious trespass three days later. He was
Speaker 1: sentenced to eleven months and twenty nine days in jail.
Speaker 1: During his time in jail, Jansen spoke openly to the
Speaker 1: press about his career, claiming to have stolen and sold
Speaker 1: more than two hundred bodies in Washington, d c. And
Speaker 1: along the East Coast. It seems to have been a
Speaker 1: bit of a symbiotic relationship. The media loved a good story,
Speaker 1: and Jansen loved to talk to the media. He was
Speaker 1: friendly with several reporters at the Washington Post, and he
Speaker 1: really enjoyed giving interviews. We have already quoted him from
Speaker 1: a few that he gave, and he gave interviews as
Speaker 1: often as he could, it seems, boasting to the press
Speaker 1: about his exploits. Sometimes he tipped them off to a
Speaker 1: good body snatching story, but it was and just for ego.
Speaker 1: Jensen also spoke at length defending his profession, explaining how
Speaker 1: important it was to not only the medical community, but
Speaker 1: also to the health of the community at large. When
Speaker 1: you learn about him, it becomes clear pretty quickly that
Speaker 1: Jensen liked the money and the media attention that he
Speaker 1: afforded as a body snatcher. But by all accounts, Jansen
Speaker 1: also seemed to truly believe that the work he did
Speaker 1: as a resurrectionist was an important contribution to the advancement
Speaker 1: of medical science. We're going to take a break for
Speaker 1: a word from our sponsor, and when we return, we
Speaker 1: will talk about Jansen's retirement from body snatching and what
Speaker 1: he was doing on stage at the Theater Comique. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to Criminalia. Let's talk about William Jensen's change of
Speaker 1: career after his release from jail. So, after he got
Speaker 1: out of jail, and perhaps it's speculated inspired by the
Speaker 1: increasing legislation regarding body snatching, Jansen retired from his resurrectionist career.
Speaker 1: There's also some speculation that maybe he just lost interest,
Speaker 1: but there is also speculation that he could no longer
Speaker 1: do the work because he had become too well known.
Speaker 1: In eighty four, Jansen reportedly borrowed funds from Judge Henry Hilton,
Speaker 1: American jurist and businessman, and attempted to reinvent his career.
Speaker 1: He would become a lecturer about himself and it would
Speaker 1: be a series about his legendary career. On May eighteenth
Speaker 1: that year, he made his dramatic debut at the Theater Comique,
Speaker 1: which is a popular vaudeville theater in northwest Washington, d c.
Speaker 1: Less than a mile from the White House. The theater's
Speaker 1: motto was a feast awaits you fit for royalty at
Speaker 1: Plebeian prices, and they welcomed the Resurrection King to their stage.
Speaker 1: The show is described as half lecture and half demonstration
Speaker 1: of the life of a body snatcher. Jensen set the
Speaker 1: tone with his audience by saying, quote, no one respects
Speaker 1: a dead person more than I do, but some respect
Speaker 1: is due to the living. He suffered from stage fright
Speaker 1: and attendance was sparse. In fact, we think he may
Speaker 1: have performed for just one night, but accounts vary on
Speaker 1: that the show went like this. Jensen spoke about the
Speaker 1: scientific and medical benefits of his work, and he closed
Speaker 1: with a bit of a re enactment or kind of
Speaker 1: a pantomime of his work, which included an assistant to
Speaker 1: act as a stand in for a corpse and several
Speaker 1: piles of soil on the stage. But Jensen's assistant was
Speaker 1: ticklish and burst into laughter every time he was picked up.
Speaker 1: No one wants a laughing corpse. The Washington Posts theater
Speaker 1: critic reported Jensen spoke inaudibly and his thick Danish accent
Speaker 1: was difficult to understand. He also suggested Jensen sneaked nips
Speaker 1: of alcohol throughout his act among jeers and cat calls
Speaker 1: from the audience, who yelled things like, what kind of
Speaker 1: show is this? Anyway? It was a flop, is what
Speaker 1: it was. Local Washington residents, it's reported in historical records,
Speaker 1: actually raised funds to get Jansen to leave their city,
Speaker 1: and we don't hear much about him over the next
Speaker 1: three years of his life. He does surface outside of Washington, though,
Speaker 1: according to the New York Times, he worked as an
Speaker 1: attendant at what was known as the Wards Island Lunatic Asylum,
Speaker 1: located in the northern end of the East River between
Speaker 1: Manhattan and Queens In October of eight seven, according to
Speaker 1: a brief published in The Washington Post, Jansen died with
Speaker 1: quote starvation staring him in the face in a quote
Speaker 1: fifteen cent lodging house on Pearl Street in New York City.
Speaker 1: His cause of death was a self inflicted gunshot wound
Speaker 1: to the head. Depending on which rough estimate you choose
Speaker 1: to believe, Jansen was probably between forty and fifty years
Speaker 1: old when he died. If it seems like we've talked
Speaker 1: a lot about Jansen and the Washington Post reporters, we
Speaker 1: have at that's because he loved talking to them about himself.
Speaker 1: True or not, most of the stories were likely produced
Speaker 1: or at least inflated by a sensationalistic press, local cops
Speaker 1: looking to be quoted, or of course, Jansen himself. The
Speaker 1: Post printed many articles covering his career as a resurrectionist
Speaker 1: in Washington, d c. As well as his brief appearance
Speaker 1: on stage, and the paper published a long obituary eulogizing
Speaker 1: him upon his death. Some have come to view their
Speaker 1: farewell to him as a farewell to resurrectionists in general
Speaker 1: and their business of providing medical schools with teaching tools.
Speaker 1: From it, we quote, the King of Ghouls is dead.
Speaker 1: He was born to be a grave robber and followed
Speaker 1: his trade by instinct. He was proud, strange to say,
Speaker 1: of his work, and gloried in doing it in a systematic,
Speaker 1: scientific way. He did not belong to that class of
Speaker 1: grave robbers steal bodies for ransom that simply sought to
Speaker 1: supply medical colleges with subjects for dissection. It continues that
Speaker 1: he was quote most happy in the companionship of corpses,
Speaker 1: and that he quote grimly lamented his inability to rob
Speaker 1: his own grave, because no one could do such things
Speaker 1: as well. Jansen's death, which happened around the same time
Speaker 1: as new legislation regarding body snatching for medical purposes and
Speaker 1: enforcement of that legislation, is often considered the end of
Speaker 1: traditional body snatching in the United States. In nineteen o two,
Speaker 1: the Anatomical Board of the District of Columbia was established
Speaker 1: by Act of Congress, fifteen years after Jansen's death. That
Speaker 1: board was made up of members from each medical school
Speaker 1: in the city, plus a public health officer, and medical
Speaker 1: representatives from the Army and Navy. The board's business was
Speaker 1: to see that unclaimed dead bodies were distributed for medical
Speaker 1: purposes among medical and dental schools on the basis of
Speaker 1: each school's enrollment each year, and with that, the Professional
Speaker 1: Resurrectionist was closed for business in Washington, d C. So Holly, yes,
Speaker 1: I've prepared some embalming fluid. Yes, tell me about this.
Speaker 1: The second I started looking at this story, there was
Speaker 1: only one thing that I wanted to call my dream,
Speaker 1: and it is the tinglish assistant. I loved detail about
Speaker 1: his stage. It's fantastic, and so I thought about what
Speaker 1: would work in that way. And the mention of whiskey,
Speaker 1: so I knew whiskey had to be in it. And
Speaker 1: I wanted something with bubbles, but I didn't want to
Speaker 1: do a champagne cocktail because I've done a few of
Speaker 1: those lately. I came up with something that chairs DNA
Speaker 1: with a few different cocktails, and I accidentally made something glorious.
Speaker 1: It has a lot of ingredients, but they're pretty basic.
Speaker 1: Nothing is too crazy. You're off the beaten path. You're
Speaker 1: gonna start by putting a sprig of fresh rosemary into
Speaker 1: your cocktail shaker and just give it a press with
Speaker 1: your muddler. You don't have to like muddle muddle it.
Speaker 1: You're just breaking the surface of those fronds so that
Speaker 1: the flavor and the oils can join the party that's
Speaker 1: about to happen, because then you're going to add to
Speaker 1: that three quarters of an ounce of lemon cello, So
Speaker 1: your lemon liqueur, three quarters of an ounce of whiskey.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave this to the drinker. I used Irish
Speaker 1: whiskey that tends to be my favorite, and then three
Speaker 1: quarters of an ounce of gin. So it's a heavy hitter.
Speaker 1: You can scale it up if you really want a
Speaker 1: Mama Jamma of a drink, you could do one ounce,
Speaker 1: one ounce, one ounce, but like keep in mind, this
Speaker 1: is a lot of alcohol. And then as an optional,
Speaker 1: you can add a splash of simple syrup or vanilla syrup.
Speaker 1: It depends on whether or not you want sweet. That
Speaker 1: lemon cello is already going to add some sweetness to it.
Speaker 1: And then you add a drop of liquid smoke. One drop,
Speaker 1: that's all you need to give it an interesting flavor
Speaker 1: and and kind of expansive smoky edges. And then one
Speaker 1: egg white. God, it's an egg white drink. It's an
Speaker 1: egg white drink. You don't have to include the egg white,
Speaker 1: but I highly recommend it. So then you have your
Speaker 1: egg white, and then you're just going to shake this
Speaker 1: thing like hell, like a minimum of fifteen seconds because
Speaker 1: you really want that egg white to get nice and frothy.
Speaker 1: You can shake it with ice if you want, but
Speaker 1: it won't get as frothy. I like to shake it
Speaker 1: without ice. That's just me. And then you will strain
Speaker 1: it over ice. This is different from some other eggy
Speaker 1: drinks because you don't always strain. You're gonna lose some
Speaker 1: egg white in the process. That is okay, that's by design,
Speaker 1: because what we want to create and what we will
Speaker 1: create is a very delicate and airy froth that's on
Speaker 1: top of this thing. So when you pour it in,
Speaker 1: you may not even see that it has a whole
Speaker 1: lot of that frothy hen to it. But then you're
Speaker 1: gonna pour a couple ounces of ginger ale onto it,
Speaker 1: and that egg white kind of blooms into this beautiful
Speaker 1: cloud that is very airy. It's almost meringue lights in
Speaker 1: how airy it is, and there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: stiffness to it, but not too much. And then just
Speaker 1: garnish that biz with a sprig of rosemary and you're
Speaker 1: off to the races. Oh no, it's so good, and
Speaker 1: it doesn't taste like any of the alcohol a little
Speaker 1: dangerous in that regard. It's three different kinds of alcohol
Speaker 1: going together. If you scale it up, please be careful,
Speaker 1: drink responsibly always. But um, yeah, it's one of those
Speaker 1: things that, like some of the other drinks that exist
Speaker 1: in the world, where there's a lot of alcohol, but
Speaker 1: they somehow all mask one another. And you were like, oh,
Speaker 1: this doesn't taste like alcohol, and you have a couple
Speaker 1: while you're sitting and talking and then you get up
Speaker 1: and you go, oh, it has that effect, So just
Speaker 1: be careful. The mock tail is all so delicious, but
Speaker 1: of course a good bit different because we're not including
Speaker 1: three kinds of it's a little change. So you will,
Speaker 1: once again in a shaker, press your rosemary sprig as
Speaker 1: you did above. You have an option here. You can
Speaker 1: either go with two ounces of cold coffee, or if
Speaker 1: you want to do a little bit of a combo,
Speaker 1: you can do like an ounce of cold coffee and
Speaker 1: an ounce of cold herbal tea. Of you're choosing, this
Speaker 1: is where I feel like a chrysanthemum tea might be
Speaker 1: really lovely. And then you're going to add an ounce
Speaker 1: of lemon juice and to this. You do want to
Speaker 1: sweeten it because you're not doing a liqueur that has sugar.
Speaker 1: So add like a half an ounce a quarter to
Speaker 1: a half an ounce of simple or vanilla syrup, that
Speaker 1: same drop of liquid, smoke that same egg white, shake
Speaker 1: it and pour it and top it and garnish it
Speaker 1: like you would the cocktail, and once again it gets
Speaker 1: that beautiful, frothy top to it. It's so pretty, it's
Speaker 1: so delicious. This is like one that I was like,
Speaker 1: this is not gonna work, and then it did and
Speaker 1: I felt like a magician. And that's the ticklish assistant.
Speaker 1: So it has some bubbles which I associate with ticklishness,
Speaker 1: and it will tickle your palette in a way that
Speaker 1: might surprise you because it really you're like, I can't
Speaker 1: taste gin or whiskey, I get lemon and I get
Speaker 1: the ginger ale. No, you feel it like picky and ticklish.
Speaker 1: That was a really fun one to make. I was
Speaker 1: so pleasantly delighted with how it came out. We hope
Speaker 1: that if you try this you also enjoy it. Like
Speaker 1: I said, I tried not to put anything to kuki
Speaker 1: or unexpected or hard to find on it, just all
Speaker 1: the alcohol. Just use those scraps of whiskey and gin
Speaker 1: you have lying around. This is a good thing. I
Speaker 1: used to sometimes do this because often, like you know,
Speaker 1: if we'll have a party or something, people will bring
Speaker 1: alcoholic gift. And sometimes it's not always like your spirit
Speaker 1: of choice, right I I don't really drink that much whiskey.
Speaker 1: Gin is hit or miss. But if you have one
Speaker 1: that you're not in love with, this is a good
Speaker 1: way to use it in a really delicious way and
Speaker 1: make something wonderful with it. Try new things. I'm a
Speaker 1: big fan of always trying new things. You should always
Speaker 1: play with your food and drink in the best way.
Speaker 1: This one sounds delicious, even with the egg white. You
Speaker 1: know I will do it. You can leave the egg
Speaker 1: white off. You'll just get the bubbles from the ginger
Speaker 1: ale and not that beautiful foamy, bubbly top to it,
Speaker 1: and of course egg white. Like you always want to
Speaker 1: be careful. Eggs are raw food at that point, and
Speaker 1: particularly anyone who is pregnant needs to be very careful
Speaker 1: with that. Anyone with any other immunity issues, you want
Speaker 1: to be very careful. But if you're into the egg
Speaker 1: I love an eggie cock. You have beautiful egg yolk
Speaker 1: that you can use to make really wonderful dressings or
Speaker 1: something for a meal later. Listen, use all the parts
Speaker 1: of the whale um. You hope that if you make
Speaker 1: this one, you have fun doing it. And we also
Speaker 1: want to make sure we thank you once again for
Speaker 1: spending this time with us. This week. Their resurrectionist party
Speaker 1: going on over here. There will be more evolving fluid
Speaker 1: next week, and another resurrectionist right here on Criminalia. Criminalia
