I read yesterday that a mcdonald's cheeseburger is 300 calories. (It said so
on the corner of the wrapper while I was eating a couple of them after going
drive-thru.) I wonder if I could get away with 5 of those a day with tea and
celery?

Whiskey Slush
2 1/4 cup (cheap) whiskey
1 cup sugar
2 cup brewed tea
7 cup water
12 oz orange juice, frozen concentrate
12 oz lemonade, frozen concentrate
Mix all. Freeze. Scrape and mostly fill a tall glass. Add a favorite
mixer. Eschew driving for a few hours. ;-)

My ex-aunt-in-law used to make whiskey slushes; I remember really
liking them [but have since forgotten about them]. So thanks for the
recipe, Mary.
The first few times I had fuzzy navals, they went down so easy that I
didn't realize how easy it was to get very tipsy. One of the times [at
a bachelorette party], I did drink way too much and shouldn't have
driven home but did anyway. I realized later how lucky I was to have
gotten home ok [and I did pass a cop on Washtenaw on the way home but
they already had someone else pulled over].

re #65
I used to do that but just use Sun tea (1 gallon of boiling water with 2 cups
of sugar and 6 teabags all chilled afterward) then put in the freezer with

Mmm, Baileys. I discovered Mint Chocolate Baileys. Oh so good in hot
chocolate!
Olive Garden has this something or other Sunrise that has cherry juice
and champagne (sparkling white wine most likely) and something else.
Most tasty.
I had a mojito once, didn't really care for it. Then again, I'm not that
much of a rum fan. Or beer. Mixed fruity drinks, or kahlua and cream,
are usually my preferred alcohol sources.

Debbi, that DOES sound good, especially now with the strawberries
coming in.
A touch of Amaretto in hot chocolate is another good thing.

Oh, heck yeah. Of course, Amaretto is good in pretty much anything.

I brew mead (similar to a Polish or Czecheslovakian) and ale (beer fermented
at or near room temperature). Mead is the easiest.
When I am out, I tend to drink single malt scotch with water, on the rocks.
McAllen and Glenfiddich will do in a pinch, Cardhu and Dalwhinnie (single
barrel) are better. There is significant marginal improvement stepping up ot
15 year from 12. The incremental gains from 15 years to 18 years is minor,
and if you recognize the difference, you are probably not coming to htis
conference for recommendations.
At parties, I tend to like fruity "girlie" drinks (old fashioned, gimlet, etc)
or brandy alexanders. Good stuff.

Have you tried making your own mead or beer?
There are a number of drinks I like but am not supposed to with some of
the meds I'm on and after the surgery I had. Though I had tastes of
several white wines when I was at a winery a couple years ago. And
recently while grocery shopping, they were letting people sample a
couple different wines. I'm allergic to red wine but I tried the white.
