Thursday #80 Field trip!!!!!

[Lady's Human]

Anyone who wants snow doesn't have to go to Switzerland, just come up and visit at FT Drum.

Anyway, how about a cup of hot chocolate with some peppermint schnapps?

I thought that was Busha? My mom is half Polish and her Grandma was 100%, and I could swear they called her Busha and wore a babushka on their heads? Now I'm confused and I'm just going to have to call my mom.

I too thought it was a hood on a coat .

Thanks, Gini. I called my mother's mother Babushka until the day she died. In fact I don't even know what her real name was!

Ahem....eerrrr....don't get me started....

Thanks Gini! Now I know for sure and I can tell my mom with authority what a babushka is. Hmmm....wonder what a Busha really is?

Are there no typically Swiss drinks?

Hmmm.....since there are so many cows.......milk? I also think of beer, but that's German and when you think of wine you think of France, so I'm not sure.....

It's a little cold here for that Swiss Lemonade we had last week, so I think I'll stick to the hot chocolate with some sort of spike added to it. I'm not a big peppermint fan, and I think Baileys would make it too sweet (and besides, Slick's not here so we ran out of Baileys....Slick...where are you?) so I'm not sure what sort of spike....is there maybe some sort of cherry liqure (how do you spell that anyway, not liquor, but lickure ). I'm heading home now so you guys hold down the fort.

Last I saw Mario he was riding that rescue St Bernard like a horse!

[amoore]
