Lovely post, blu and I agree 188%,
But I must disabuse you of this part before things get out of hand. I absolutely HATE HATE HATE Kentucky Bourbon and all other forms of hard liquor. It tastes like poison to me, and did even in my drinking days. I hate Tequila most of all. Worst hangovers EVER and tends to make me do the most outrageous things.
I haven't touched alcohol in so many years I can't even remember the last time I did. And no, I'm not a "recovering addict." I just don't find the need or the desire for it. Plus it ALL tastes like hell (except strawberry Margaritas and good wine.)
But I do have a cat, and nobody better mess with her.
And so ends another chapter in the story of Bagster.

I used to think the same about tequila, until some friends turned me on to the good stuff, which can be very expensive. However, it tastes good enough for sipping, goes great in margaritas without a lot of sugar, just lime and a few other ingredients, and, mirabile dictu!, no hangovers. If you ever get a rebate from your tax cut and feel flush with cash, try it sometime.
Almost all of it tastes like really icky medicine from grandma’s spinster sister with the long nose and pointy finger.
