Has anyone seen Orc or the barkeep since I told Orc to take care of the iceberg for me?

[Pinot's Mom]

I just had to share this...

There is a VERY wealthy Greek family in our neighborhood, they own a couple of extremely popular diners in the area, who host a HUGE Greek Orthodox Easter fete every year at their home. You can hear the music for miles. This particular traditional music is a little annoying and very distinctive but it's only once a year...

Anyway, we were out on the deck late yesterday listening to the whiny strains when, all of a sudden, I looked at my husband and said, "That's the love theme from the Titanic!"... Yes, folks, even in the midst of traditional Greek music, The Heart Will Go On!

Well, being that the barkeep and Orc are MIA ever since the iceberg, I think I'm going to open the bar, and pour myself a drink. or 10. or 15.

Bad morning.

Not a good week all around. Was at a wake yesterday, and am waiting for info for another, and the mom of one of the radio show hosts passed away, not long after cancer surgery she seemed to be recovering well from.

Nice cup of tea, please.

[Lady's Human]

One tea, with a slice of black forest cake? (With whipped cream made to MJ's specifications....)

[Pinot's Mom]

Iceberg? Can we pour vodka on it?

That'd be yummy! Thanks! What are Marylin's specs for whipped cream, out of curiosity?

[Lady's Human]

SWEET! The firs time I made Black Forest cake for them I did it with my usual, which is just a pint of heavy cream whipped with a tablespoon of vanilla in it. To make it to her specs I put 2 tablespoons of sugar in it.
