You're very welcome. Glad I could help.
Hi Victoria! How are you doing? Thanks for the music. I'm in the library right now, so no sound. LOL!
No sound!? Oh man, that's deadly.
beer?
LOL! Rum and coke, better known as Cubalibre, or... Cuba-free
LOL! I usually "see" you drinking beer.
True, hahaha. I do. I like beer.
...a big cheeseburger with a slice of pineapple inside with an onion slice
Here ya go. Hope the "blue" cheese is OK. You didn't specify what kind of cheeseburger.
BTW, are you guys going to end the Zot thread before next year? LOL, just curious.
I'm celebrating too.
So... What are you drinking? A Hurricane?
That's the goal. LOL!
I'm not drinking anything - no food or drink in the library.
Bummer.
Oops, sorry I missed your post, Jen. What's a Hurricane?
You know what happened? I'm listening to music right now and I can't hear my notifier. Good grief.
Hurricane Drink Recipe
2 ounces amber rum
1/4 cup passion fruit juice, or 1 tablespoon passion fruit syrup
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
1/2 teaspoon grenadine
Juice of 1/2 lime
Cherries and orange slice to garnish
Ice cubes
In a cocktail shaker mix the rum, passion fruit juice and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add the grenadine, and lemon juice and stir to combine. Add the ice cubes and shake. Strain Hurricane into a cocktail glass. Garnish with orange and cherries. Yield: 1 serving
Interesting tidbits of the origin of this famous drink:
The creation of this passion-colored relative of a Daiquiri drink is credited to Pat O'Brien. He is reported to have invented the Hurricane in the 1940s in New Orleans. Rumors say he needed to get rid of all the rum that Southern distributors forced him to buy before he could get a few cases of other spirits. He poured the concocion into hurricane-lamp-shaped glasses and gave it away to sailors. The drink caught on, and it's been part of the celebration ever since.
Pat O'Brien operated a speakeasy during prohibition known as, "Mr. O'Brien's Club Tipperary". The password to get in was, "storm's brewin'". In 1933, after the repeal of prohibition, he moved across the street, opened Pat O'Briens, and later down to the present location at 718 St. Peter, in the French Quarter. During W.W.II, it was difficult to get whiskey, but rum was in ample supply. With the help of the liquor salesman, this cocktail was born. It is served in a 26 oz. Hurricane glass, which is named after the shape of a hurricane lamp and the drink.
LOL! I can't hear mine either. ;-) I just look at it ever now and then.
Wonderful, I'm gonna make it right now. Just one question... what's passion juice? I have orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, and lemonade. If I mix them all, can I create a passion juice? LOL!!!
I'm doing the same. :-)
Blue cheese is tasty. If you keep making those for me, I will follow you around like a puppy dog with a bushy tail:)
