I'll have a Chocolate Frog! *opens one* ANOTHER Nicholas Flamel?? Anyone have a Godrick Gryffindor to trade?:D
I think I am going to have to be a bar maid for this week....
I don't know anything about HP.:eek:
Oh dear! I so addle-brained from work, I need a strong potion! Anything, really, or perhaps a sorting hat to sort everything out :D
Mmm, butterbeer, please! Hey, maybe Fang will come and play with the Orc! :)
....ummm, i dropped in *waves hello*, but since it's a nice and warm evening here in cowtown...oh barmaid, may i have a water and lime? tomorrow i'm off to the ohio state fair. moooo....;) this year it's butter presidents of ohio...insert snickers hers....:cool:
I found this recipe for Butterbeer on the internet - to me it sounds ghastly. Think I'll join you with another LIT.
BUTTERBEER
Makes 2 quarts.
1 cup butterscotch schnapps
7 cups cream soda (almost one 2 liter bottle)
Carefully mix just before serving, adding the schnapps to the soda then stirring gently to mix well, or the fizz will dissipate too soon.
You can also find butterscotch flavoring near the vanilla flavoring in the baking section of the grocery store, but it is more difficult to find, and actually the flavoring is 35% alcohol where the schnapps is only 15% alcohol by volume, so if you're making large quantities of butterbeer, I recommend just to buy the schnapps. There is not much alcohol content in the butterbeer mixture, just enough to make a house-elf tipsy and to give it the warm, buttery aftertaste to the fizzy cream soda. Yum! :-9
Whoa,
I thought HP was too young to drink!
Let me mix up some LIITs for the gang....and some butter beers too!
DONE!;)
Well I'll just have some pumpkin juice please. Though the butterbeer sounds interesting but I think it would be a bit too sweet for me. You can pre-order Tales of the Beedle Bard on Amazon.com.
MuggleNet has/had a Butterbeer recipe (I can't get MN to load at the moment) using butterscotch syrup & cream soda; gotta admit it wasn't my favorite.
Can't wait to get a hold of "Tales!!"
Is the bar still open? I sure could use something strong. The butterbeer sounds just awful to me...........maybe one of those LIIT's Richard is making.
Going back to work after vacation is just awful!
Please, please can someone give me enough booze to put me into a stupor???? I don't want to play this game anymore. :(
