When I EVENTUALLY make it back...

JessicaR :p

I'm looking forward to this everyone....what are we all drinking first....? I'm going to study the menu some more......:D
 
I guess my Mai Tai wasn't made right then, because it was strong!!!

I don't know if I can switch drinks with you all - I may have to stick to just one!!!:faint:
 
I have been studying the menu - it's all very delicious!!

I thought as Jessica provided such a superb drinks menu, I should contribute something - so here are a few delights for anyone who is like me and has a permanent sweet tooth:-

You make all the all in the usual way just add in the extra ingredients:-

Grandmother's Ginger-Jam Bread&Butter Pudding

Ingredients: butter, sultanas, dark rum, brown bread,
ginger conserve, eggs, caster sugar, double cream, full fat milk,
ground ginger, demerara sugar.



Chocolate Cloud Cake

dark chocolate, butter, eggs, caster sugar, Cointreau,
orange zest, double cream, vanilla essence, cocoa powder.



Turkish Delight Syllabub

Cointreau, lemon juice, caster sugar, double cream, rosewater,
orange flower water, pistachio nuts.

Now what am I going to have to start:-

I think it may be a Creamsicle with a Colorado Bulldog on the side!!! :D

.I'm off to the land of nod now.....

Tonia said she would be on from 1pm-4pm your time....so shall we say we'll use that as a starting point for the Happy Hour!

Goodnight xxx

DM, let me know about your drink...is it equal parts? The kids wanna make that too!
It *can* be, but it is best "to taste". I once had one at Bahama Breeze and the amount of grenadine was 2x normal (the waitress said she'd make it a double). Wow! Strong cherry flavor!
 

DM...........I am going to try one of those first......whilst I'm cooking Sunday lunch.......we are having Sirlion Steaks today with roast potatoes, carrots, corn-on-the-cob and broccolli, and I've made the Ginger-jam bread&butter pud for tea just in time for happy hour.

See you all at 1pm ish your time!!......Selina x
 
Selina-
Would you come and cook for me too!

Isn't DM's drink called a Roy Rogers? I think my son has had them before with this name. Sort of like a Shirley Temple for a girl - which would be Gingerale and grenadine.
 
Hi Tigerlilly's Mom......I would love to cook for you....! It was rather delicious today, even if I say so myself...:D Mind you almost had a fire...I accidentally left the oven on with a greasy tin inside from the Steaks - remembered and took this tin out. It was soooo hot it was making loud popping noises!

Well I've tried the Dark Marauder and it is very refreshing. I added more grenadine.....DM: you've just introduced me to a new drink - love it!!:D

Well it's just under 2 hours to go before we can really get started. I'm looking forward to a creamsicle with a Colorado Bulldog chaser! both my kids are creamsicles!! Mmmmmmmm

P.s. I don't know if it's called a Roy Rogers - does anyone else?
 
Well! Hello everyone..........! Do come in and join me! We have the most wonderful selection of drinkies to choose from thanks to our beautiful Jessica!!
 
got to come off line to receive a phone call, will be back on as soon as I can.....enjoy all the drinks.......see you in a while...xxx
 
Hey Selina - crazy morning - I still have to go grocery shopping! But, it won't take too long - I have to find a drink for the kiddies.

I am just plain today - cargos and long sleeve tee and my red Nikes - I may throw on a baseball cap before the grocery store.

DH and I stayed up until 2:00am so we got up late then had to help DS with school project - Ahhhhh!!!

I will be back soon!
 
okay, this is going to be a looooooong happy hour that crosses all time zones!!:p
I'm going to see if I can add Happy Hour to the thread.....
 
Well...the creamsicles were very delicious Jessica.

Folks! It's 7.15pm in England - so have to go for a while to bath kids, but will be back later..........post in what you are tippling while I'm away, make yourself comfortable in my lounge......lots of cushions spread around, scented candles and the dulcit tones of Dido at the moment. Spread yourself out and relax....relaxing is the most important part, unwind from the busy day, and when I come back in about an hour, I'll start you off on relaxing techniques which you can do with your partner.....Mmmmmmmmm ...... some you can do on your own....in the meantime.....try a few on Jessica's menu and get yourself comfortable...........;)
 
JessicaR- Was your bushwhacker frozen or on ice? I love frozen Bushwhackers from the FloraBama.
 
Hi essmom....Looks like it's ice:-

I'm posting AlexandNess's post:-

Just had to jump in here with my favorite drink ever, even though it wasn't at Universal. We went on a cruise this spring, and I am terribly prone to sea sickness, so I wore the "patch." The only problem with the patch is that it gives you a dry mouth, so beer, champagne, and white wine can be difficult to swallow. I told one of the bartenders my dilemma, and he made me this for me:

1/2 oz Light Rum

1/2 oz Dark Rum

1 oz Kahlua

1 oz Dark Creme de Cacao

1 oz Bailey's Irish Cream

1/2 1 oz Amaretto

Ice

It's called a Bushwhacker, and it's so soothing! From that night on, I was known as Ms. Bushwhacker on the ship, and no matter where I went, as soon as I entered the room I had a Bushwhacker waiting for me. Be careful, these can definitely trip you up because it tastes like a light chocolate milk. But, when we go on our next cruise in January, I'm taking the recipe with me!

....................
 
Were is everyone??!! I am back from the grocery store - I have my chips and salsa, made my baybreeze - but no one is here!!!! Come on guys :bounce: :Pinkbounc :tongue:
 
Hello friends!

essmom, all ingredients were mixed together in a blender with ice. I loved it!

Mixing drinks is a little difficult for me right now (especially since my computer is upstairs, and of course my kitchen is down). I explained virtual HH to my BF, so he set me up with a bottle of wine, a cutter, an opener, a glass, and some pizza bites next to my computer before he left me to my devices! (I love him :lovestruc).

I am wanting to hear what everyone else is drinking and enjoying though.
 
AlexandNessa - your BF is a sweetheart!!! What a great guy.

I am sticking with the BayBreeze - I will give measurements if anyone needs them - 4 oz. cranberry juice, 4 oz. pinapple juice, and 3 oz. Malibu rum. blend, poor over ice and top with a lime wedge! It is goooooood!

I am going to make the cow drink for my kids, but I will have to wait until after dinner since it has two scoops of ice cream in it!!

After the Patriots game, hubby is going out to get mussles (sp) for dinner - YUM!!!

I don't even want to guess how the Patriots are doing - I just keep hearing periodic yells an screams from downstairs, so it can't be too bad.... LOL
 
I'm with you. I never watch football unless it's the commercials during the SuperBowl (does that even count?).

You must be getting excited for your trip. Less than a month away!
 
I am!! I just noticed my countdown clock and just can't wait.

You must be getting excited about your boot. DH broke his achilles last year and he was miserable when they took the cast off and put the boot on. We finally figured out that they didn't give him enough pads on his heel, so the pain was just excruciating. Once he had the extra pads he was good to go!

So who is at happy hour - Flyfly, AlexandNessa, Selina, is that it? And where is Jessica??? She should definately be here!
