Sum, Sum, Summertime Thursday #321!

[RICHARD]

Well,

Sunday starts the summer season and I think we are all derserving of some good weather!

We finally got some sunshine and I took a walk around the neighborhood today. Yes, Good Weather is here!

-----------------------------


How's about an Old Fashioned to start and something simple, like a meat and cheese platter?

:
•1 whole maraschino cherry
•1 oz. Seagram's VO
•0.25 oz. bitters
•1 tsp sugar
•1 splash water
•1 twist lemon
•1 slice orange



In an old-fashioned glass, muddle sugar, bitters and water
Add ice cubes
Add Seagram's VO
Garnish with lemon twist, orange slice and maraschino cherry


DONE?


I want to send MOFF a huge hug today, too!

DONE!

[GILL]

sounds good too me, I like them.

Can I have some strawberry shortcake, or strawberry ice cream? Strawberries are "summer begins" in this neck of the woods, but I am (sigh) now allergic to them.

Requesting the official Block Island beverage - the Mudslide. I'll take the Blueberry version, please -

1/2 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce Kahlua
1/2 ounce Bailey’s Irish Cream
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup half and half
1 cup of ice

In a blender, combine all ingredients. Mix for 30 seconds or until milkshake consistency. Pour in an ice cold glass, top with fresh whipped cream and garnish with a spring of fresh mint and additional blueberries.

I have a sweet tooth today.
How about a tin roof ice-cream Sunday!
Vanilla ice-cream topped with hot fudge, peanuts and whip cream
with a cherry on top. I can feel the pounds adding on!

An ice cream sundae Thursday?

DONE!

Some strawberry sorbet would rock my world?

[Lady'sOtherHuman]

OOoooo Ice cream sundaes! MMMmmmmm……… What should I have? Um, um, um, hows about Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chunk with some homemade hot fudge sauce and whipped cream. And Richard we could always move the breakfast buffet spread over here so it doesn't get wasted.

Sound good? And I would like an old fashioned root beer float too please.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

you mean it's already hot as heck and it's not even really summer yet?

I was going to go for the Old Fashioned, but then I saw this - BLOCK ISLAND! OMG - I spent a good part of my youth boating (power with the parent, sailing all the rest of the time) to Block! I'll have to have one of those Blueberry Mudslides, then, for the memories!

Just one, though, then I'll move into the Old Fashioned with the cheese platter - some nice Stilton Blue cheese, maybe Dublin Irish Cheddar, New York Flatbreads, and some sliced pears sound good!

I would like to send MOFF some hugs, too...

TO2K,

We'll all be complaining about the weather in a few weeks. The gloom went away and now it's pretty nice in the A.M.!

LOH.

No Ice Cream until you have some cheese and meat!

Then I'll get you some Ben and Jerry's NY super fudge chunk with h/m fudge with a rootbeer float chaser?

DONE!

RICHARD, after all the stormy weather in the Pittsburgh area last night, I think I'll have a mudslide with the cheese platter. Is Orc around? I can get the ole ceement mixer going! BTW, I remember that old song, sum, sum. summertime!

[smokey the elder]

More danged rain!! I don't think it's broken 75 F this whole month. I'll try one of those funky mudslides, though, and I'll raid the food.

[lvpets2002]
