Get away Thursday-#221

[RICHARD]

THis is a special request Thursday-Brody's Mum is going to CHina so we are
going to toss a "Happy Trails to You" Party.

Kinda like the "east meets the west"?

A little cowboy regalia, some horsey rides and a kinda "by mistake" cocktail.


It's called a Root Beer Surprise.

! oz, rum, I can o' rootbeer and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

______

I was going to make a cocktail last night so I grabbed my rum, ran out of coke., so I used a root beer instead!

Added a scoop of ice cream.

Wasn't bad!

[joycenalex]

i'll take an iced coffee please, i'm leaving in an hour for a continuing education class, and rum might make learning too much fun

[lvpets2002]

Alright here is my contribution of Lets =

[davidpizzica]

Uh, RICHARD? the question is whether China is ready for Brody's Mum! I'll have one of those new-fangled concoctions that you came up with.

[RedHedd]

Cowboy regalia? Oh goodie! I can get some ideas - we're having a fundraiser "prom" next week for one of my groups and the theme is a Honky-Tonk Ho-Down (no, not THAT kind of Ho! Get your minds out of the gutter!). I need ideas as to what to wear!

Although I have NO idea how we're going to tie a trip to China w/Cowboy Regalia, but what the hey ..... we have a bunch of VERY creative people here

One iced tea to go and I'm back to work .....

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Thanks Richard! I'll get one of those for everyone in the bar!!

Ahhh YESS!
Grammy's *Beverage of Choice* for lunch - a Root Beer FLOAT!
Only requirements: "GENUINE DAD's Olde Fashioned" Rooty beer and 'Nilla Ice Creme.
But ya know, I don't remember her adding the RUM

RB Float Tail >>>

Grammy & Boppa drove to P-Burg from Cleveland, Ohio, to visit us in our
"new house" in the "South Hills", a P-Burg suburb.
Mom laid in plain cake DONUTS (a Boppa must-have) and Rooty Beer.

They arrived for lunch ... Out came the Rooty Beer FLOATS! ... Yummie!!
But ~ Grammy almost *choked* on her first sip!
"Whas's wrong, Mom?" asks MY Mom.

"Oh Honey ... this isn't "DAD's Olde Fashioned" ... is it??"

I heard her *whispering* to Boppa after lunch ...
It has a TASTE, Gus! ... It ruined the ice creme.
"Hires" (a well advertised Pittsburgh brand) just isn't the same!
We'll have to go buy some DAD's!"


They jumped in the trusty ole Buick and Zoomed off after lunch ...
mission unknown ...
destination doubtful (they'd never been in the South Hills in their lives!

Musta found a DAD's store ...
Boppa came in carrying two Six-Packs of Grammy-Approved "DAD's Olde Fashioned"!

End of Grammy Tail ... OK, Barkeep - lay a RB S'prize on me, pleeze!
Enuff RUM, and I won't squalk about the origins of the Rooty Beer.

Richard when I was a little girl (many moons ago ) my mom used to make something called Black Cow Floats. I dug up the recipe for you on line, but I grant you it is not as much fun as yours! LOL! I will have to try it with rum! (Now I am thirsty!) Phred, the root beer had to be Hires and the chocolate had to be Hershey's of course.

Phred, how I remember Dad's ole fashioned root beer! I grew up (and out!) on those Dad's root beer floats. You're right, Hire's isn't the same. Also it has to have Islay's vanilla ice cream!

IS THIS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT?

Reminder to self - never try to post pictures early in the morning - your brain is too fuzzled.

[lbaker]

Root Beer Floats! Boy did I walk in at the right time. Capt, rum and coke possibly but a Coke Float?? *yech* hmmm, Root Beer Floats and let's see... China eh? How about Won Tons? Or if we are going to feed everyone here maybe Two Tons? Or three?? (sorry)

[Pam]

IS THIS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT?

I have gone blank - how did I get this picture to show up? Help!

Gini, now I feel deprived. I have never heard of Dad's root beer, much less tasted it. *sigh* In my neck of the woods root beer was either Hires or the store brand. Phred, is Dad's still available?

[gini]

Thanks, Pam..........I kept putting [img]and [/img] around it but it won't work.

I have this sign in my kitchen...........I've had it for years.

Now it is off to China.................wonder if they have Dad's over there.

[Randi]

Ooohhh, I'll have one of those, if not for the taste (are they any good?), then for the pretty bottle - they don't make these anymore, do they? Probably a collectors item now.

Have you ever had a Waggle Dance, or Westmalle? I swear, they're good! I'll bring some next time.

[davidpizzica]

That's IT, Gini! Now I have the taste for one!
