Sum, Sum, Summertime Thursday #321!

[Pinot's Mom]

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 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!

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.

NO.....they are still green -I do want to pickle some while they are green.

I found a simple recipe that I posted...It calls for a couple of quarts of them 'maters, but I dont want to raid the tree just yet!

Are you willing to wait a few weeks more? Please?

LP,

THanks to you again!

I think David is walking the ORC.....

Two drinks? DONE!

STE,

It was bad enough with the clouds, the rain would have driven me mad by now.

A mudslide and a fork?

DONE!


David,
You sit down and relax, I'll get things rolling.

DONE!

Since the kids are home in a week, I thought I'd get you into the swing of things!

One GIANT dessert!

DONE!

MOFF

This is the other 'mater plant I have. I want to try the FGTs but I don't have enough to experiment, yet!

[Pinot's Mom]

Hey Barkeep, I'm ready for the Old Fashioned now! I'm drinking away a statistic I heard today. We, in this area, since January 1, have had 18 DAYS OF SUN! 18!! It's June!!

Orc, kick a hole in that cloud cover, would ya?

Wow, You need a double!

We're on our third day (or is it fourth, I've already lost count) of icky weather here. I don't mind the rain so much because it's good for the garden but I'd like a couple of days of sun in a row so I can do some yard work before my yard looks like a jungle.

The little guy graduates from Pre-Kindergarten today. And MJ's last day is Wednesday. AAAAHHHH!! I have to find things for them to do or they'll drive me crazy.

Barkeep, I'd like something sunny to start my day, hows about a screwdriver or if you can think of something sunnier I'll take that.
