brandy or, for a special treat, SOUTHERN COMFORT.....
Now you have gone and done it. Southern Comfort!
Back in the day, my teetotaling mother, bless her soul, decided she would help make cherries jubilee with angel food cake, for serving out of her silver service and flambee dish. Well, being as she really had no idea about liquor, she went to the State Liquor Store and explained what she was going to do. The guy there sold her Southern Comfort to use when serving the Cherries Jubilee, since they are supposed to be served alight.
Well, the time came, and there were the plates all decked out the with cake and cherries. They wouldn’t light up. So, she kept pouring dribs and drabs of Southern Comfort on them until voila! They did light up.
Everyone was served. It was very elegant.
Then, we all took bites........
That Southern Comfort bottle had a storied existence as a momento of that occasion.
True story. Very sad. She had worked hard on that.
Nope, nada, can't do it. Southern Comfort for some reason triggers my upchuck switch.
