Didn't I read a post about Mulder leaving. . ?

All teh best ones had the Smoking Man in them.

He'll forget to take the lobster bib off when he goes back to the bowling alley for his other date. This week, on a very special Sinking SHIPPS.

Yeti episodes were better.

Watching you Squert. . . (I saw what you did there)

unbelievable

$hit, now I'm back in it too!

Rowland is stuck in the time warp I was in yesterday

Back to rumbullion. I need to make a new batch of grenadine tonight. The home-made grenadine recipe I use is a couldn't-be-simpler, cold-press recipe I found on The Cocktail Chronicles a couple of years ago. Fresh pomegranate juice, sugar, and that's it. The red sugar water that passes for commercial grenadine now bears no resemblance to what the syrup historically was. There is ZERO pomegranate juice in Rose's or most other store-bought brands. Yuck. Armed with a fresh bottle of real grenadine, I'll reward myself with a Jim Dandy Planter's Punch which will be constructed thusly: • 1 oz fresh lemon juice • 1.5 oz orange juice • 1.5 oz pineapple juice • 1.5 oz passionfruit juice • 1 oz Appleton Reserve rum • 1 oz Coruba dark rum (or sub Myers or Goslings) • 0.5 oz homemade grenadine syrup (use the store-bought crud if you must, but reduce to 0.25 oz) • 0.25 oz Passoa passionfruit liqueur (or sub Alizé) – Shake all ingredients on ice and pour entire contents into glass and serve. – Repeat above as necessary. This is a darned good planter I've been tweaking for a few months. Somebody get daring and mix one up and let me know what you think. A bit of planter punch trivia. . . Traditional belief is that the planter's punch originated on Jamaican sugarcane plantations, as a tasty thirst-quencher for hot, tired farmhands. But this very plausible origin is disputed, and several authorities cite the Planter's Hotel in St. Louis as the source of the drink — dating back to maybe the 1840s. This famous (long-gone) hotel is also popularly cited as the birthplace of the Bloody Mary, Tom Collins, and Martini. That's a heck of a cocktail legacy if true, but it sure seems improbable that all four drinks were born there. Then again, if the alternative in St. Louis was drinking the Budweiser being made there maybe desperation could have stoked some creativity.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 03:09 PM) Victory has their Festbier out now (assuming the bottles I saw were fresh). I think I saw the Shipyard Pumpkin out as well. I'll probably be like Lucy and the snowflakes and I'll wait until September before i go into festbier mode. Weyerbacher makes an outstanding pumpkin ale called Imperial Pumpkin Ale that clocks in at 8%. If you run into one of those definitely give it a spin. They also make a nice festbier called Autumnfest. I think both of those are dropping this week.

Home Run Quentin!

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) Punkin Ale is really good. As much as I love the summer brews, I'm starting to get excited about the fall seasonals. Pumpkin ales will be tops on my list. I'm actually starting to salivate thinking about this year's crop of Oktoberfest offerings. The party starts this year in München September 19th, so we'll start seeing the new festbiers coming in soon.
