Whirled Peas Thursday #342

[RICHARD]

I have always loved the Visualize Whirled Peas bumper sticker.

What a time to invoke that thought!


Let me look for a green drink recipe, I need one.:D

[Lady's Human]

Other than an appletini, I can't think of a green drink recipe, but might I suggest split pea soup with bacon for lunch?

Green eggs(are they boiled :p) and ham for breakfast?

And possibly chicken enchiladas with salsa verde for an entree?

Toss in some mint green sugar cookies for dessert, and I think we've got a menu! (An odd menu, but a menu nonetheless!)

[Pinot's Mom]

I found a nice green cocktail!
Watermelon Green-tini

2 oz local watermelon puree
2 oz vodka
1 oz champagne
1 tsp mint, finely diced
1 cup ice

Directions


Add the watermelon puree, vodka, mint, and ice into a shaker.
Shake vigorously.
Pour in martini glass (without ice).
Top off with champagne.

Sound like a winner?:)

[smokey the elder]

Another green cocktail: Grasshopper!

1 part creme de menthe
1 part creme de cacao
1 part heavy cream

Mix together and serve with chocolate shavings and a mint leaf! Yummy!

[Pinot's Mom]

You know, it says something about us that we're posting cocktail recipes at 8:15 in the morning! ;)

RICHARD,

I'll take a double. It may only be 9 a.m. here, but it's 5 o'clock SOMEWHERE in the world!!!

Thank you everyone for your understanding. I love every single one of you and don't know what I would do without you.

[Karen]

I'll bring the green cookies - I'll do cookie press green trees, okay?

No pea soup for me, the color of it has always reminded me of an old Army blanket - not very appetizing!

[Lady's Human]

Stunned by the enchilada request?

I'll cook, but I'm warning you, they're going to be on the spicy side if there aren't any kids around to worry about.

How about some red beans and rice to go with? Not green, but fitting.

[KYS]

LOL! When I 1st glanced at the titled I thought you meant
upchucking your peas.

Since we are eating green,
A Grasshopper does sound mighty good with Karen's green tree cookies.
Count me in.....

[DJFyrewolf36]

[Pinot's Mom]

Ah, back from choir practice, and we're starting on the high chorals for the Christmas season - I need something to cool my throat...I'm a soprano! A green-tini, please!

[Lady's Human]

[Queen of Poop]

Got his version of divorce papers today. Steaming mad. Could I get a large pot of tea and keep it coming, this could take all night to finish all my research, gathering, and printing.

Anyone want to man the printer/scanner/copier?

[Karen]

Hee hee, no salsa, thanks, just a nice big glass of cider!

[Lady's Human]

Three questions.......

1) Why is the ceiling green

2) Why is Orc in a painters hat

3) What happened to the rest of the pea soup?:eek::eek:

In any case, there's hot apple crisp, QoP, your tea is ready, and I'll show you how to use the remote for Orc.

He can help out with the scanner.

PM,

Tell us the name of the green you bought. I love the names that companies use.
Is the "Irish Green" or "Springfield Green", "Tart Apple Green".

I bet it is named after a place!:cool:

[Pinot's Mom]

The names of the paint in our house are hilarious...
The living room is "Nurture", it's a VERY light bluish jade - really just a whisper of color. The dining room is Paris Rose, the main part of the house and family room are "Indulgent Mocha" (light taupe), the kitchen, funny you should mention it, is Tart Apple Green!! :) It's sponge painted with white. OH- our bedroom and bath are painted "Spa". It's light aqua - what the heck is "SPA"???

How about a nice batch of mushy peas???? Hmmm, probably no takers on that one.

It's morning here and the skies have opened up and it's pouring and weather report promises more and more rain for the next 3 to 4 days. Oh yes, this is typical Fall weather for us - that's why my feet are webbed and I quack. :rolleyes::D:p

Is Thursdays open on 11/26, even though it's Thanksgiving? I might need a drink or two after an extended period of time with my family.

[RICHARD]

Look at this, I sleep in one day and the night crew takes over, Thanks!

[slick]

In honour of today's event, I would like the following please:

The Earthquake Cocktail.
1 jigger gin (I use Bombay Sapphire.)
1 jigger whiskey (I use Old Overholt Rye; try any rye, Canadian or Bourbon.)
1 jigger absinthe (Use the real stuff from Europe if you can get it; otherwise use Herbsaint, Pernod or Ricard).
Shake well and serve in a chilled cocktail glass. You might also want to try standing in a doorway when you drink it (so that you can steady yourself easily).

:D:D:D

November 17, 1973

Nixon insists that he is not a crook
On this day in 1973, in the midst of the Watergate scandal that eventually ended his presidency, President Richard Nixon tells a group of newspaper editors that he is "not a crook."
(source: history.com)

So, may I please have one of these: The Nixon
The Nixon was created by Joe Gilmore, the Head Barman of the American Bar at the Savoy Hotel in London, to mark American President Richard Nixon's visit to Britain in 1969. The cocktail was mixed at the American bar and then sent to Claridge’s where Nixon was staying.
Ingredients
1/2 Bourbon whiskey
1/2 Sloe gin
2 dashes Peach Bitters
Stir and serve on the rocks, decorated with a slice of fresh peach and a cherry.
