    Thursday #276 ... J.K. Rowling's birthday

    In honor of the birthday of the author of the Harry Potter series ... there's a dish of Bertie Botts' Every Flavor jelly beans on the bar, and who's for a butterbeer?
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Oh dear! I so addle-brained from work, I need a strong potion! Anything, really, or perhaps a sorting hat to sort everything out

    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

    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.
    RIP Lady, Thursday's won't be the same without you to cuddle with by the fire

    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.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
