Mmmm, “lead pencil aromas”. For those with a pica-influenced palate, such as myself…

Infinity view from Cabin 9

Lake Fausse 2007 Wrap up:

Gators? Check.
Pelicans/herons/loons, etc? Check.
Varmits? Check.
Paddlefish? Check.
Turtles? Check.
Lizards? Check.
Owls? Check.
Midnight kayaking into the infinity? Check.
Blazing constellations? Check.
Orion pursuing the Pleiades? Check.
Shooting stars? Check.
Copious quantities of expensive beer? Check.
Rock and Roll? Check.
All parties present and accounted for? This was our main failing this year, as the Arcturus was with us only in song.
Saints victorious over the winless Rams? Not so much.

Musicological/sociological experiment? Isolate four drunk middle-aged men away from their googles, wikis and twitters but with the entire Pink Floyd music collection on MP3 (no credits) and pose the question: Who sang what? David Gilmour or Roger Waters? Song by song/line by line. (Why is this hard? Listen to “Mother” from the Wall album. Consider: Waters sometimes sounds like Gilmour, but other times sounds like no one else.)

Photos? Check.

Videos? Check.

Margarita Recipe July 14, 2007

Posted by Phineas in : Alcohol, Irrelevant , 1 comment so far

I don’t make a lot of cocktails, but it’s summer time and I like my Margarita recipe, so I’ll share.

I basically substitute Limoncello for the Triple Sec, so there’s no orange bottom to the flavor — it’s a pure lemon/lime flavor, one of my favorites. So:

50% Tequila (I don’t know enough to recommend, I just use Jose Cuervo Especial)

25% Limoncello

25% lime juice (fresh squeezed)

toss in ice and blend, or over rocks or whatever.

It’s lemon/limey and strong!
