batching it

These were the days of loose drunk driving laws, very few female legislators, male lawmakers batching it and lobbyists eagerly picking up dinner and bar tabs.

For example, if you’re batching it for a gathering, try muddling raspberries at the bottom of the pitcher, or add a fresh herb such as thyme, lavender or basil to infuse flavors into the mix.

If you like a stirred cocktail, such as a Manhattan or martini, but find it a little onerous to prepare from scratch whenever the mood strikes, consider batching it up in advance and keeping it in the freezer.

You're taking lettuce that could be grown in different areas and batching it together.

Even where two single men are together, "batching it" is usually a sorry business; but when the call of the Lord comes, He will give grace.
