D.C. Fox affiliate WTTG-5 reported a few minutes ago that British Airways flight 223 has been detained on the tarmac at Dulles Airport, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C.

The flight landed at 7:06 p.m. Passengers have not been allowed to deplane. Some family members waiting at the terminal were able to speak with some of the passengers via cellphone. They were told TSA and other security personnell are interviewing passengers and inspecting luggage.

Over two hundred passengers and crew are on the plane.

More to follow as reported. Please forgive any errors as this just caught my ear.

Recipe?? :-D

Sure, what the hell. It's very easy and is a big hit at the holidays.

First brew up some coffee real strong (like 5 scoops of ground coffee and fill the water to the 4 cup mark.) Let it cool.

Then mix in a blender:

2 eggs
1 cup half and half
1 can Eagle brand sweetened milk
1 cup Jameson's Irish whiskey
1/3 cup strong coffee, cooled
2 tablespoons Hershey syrup
1/4 cup creme de cacao
1/2 teaspoon real vanilla (use the good stuff- pure bourbon vanilla)
1/8 teaspoon coconut extract (no more, no less)

Blend for a long time, pour into a bottle, and chill.

When I make multiple batches for gifts, I buy Perrier water on sale and use the bottles for the Irish Cream.

Questioning some passengers a second time is ROUTINE? Roto Rooter is more like it.

[CatoRenasci]

Oh, Cajungirl! As the Scotsman who used to fix my TR-6 said so many years ago (as we'd sit to haggle price after he'd done the work): aye, y'll take y'r whisky neat as God made it, or not at all....

[cajungirl]

Changed my mind,,going for the whiskey if I can get away from the puter and the terrorism aler.t You know it occurred to me that if a bomb went off in Times Square everyone is so drunk by now they might not notice.

[HopeandGlory]

Amen.. . . . I'm so tired of those sleezy people I could spit nails.

"...and I never slice.....DAMN!"

Questioning some passengers a second time is ROUTINE?

Sounds as if they found out something they didn't know when they began their first round of questioning.

[bwteim]

? I saw a blurb on Fox at 11, but so far nothing on CNN or Headline news, and now Fox is just doing O'reilly Reruns.

No, but there are hundreds of posters - some under the influence, some doing charades - commenting on this event - hop in!

[Hand em their arse]

"Did ya ever make a hundred bucks the HARD way!!!"

[Benrand]

"I just have to laugh."

[sfRummygirl]

"I shoulda yelled TWO!"

[cajungirl]

That is a wonderful recipe!1 Thanks, bookmarking it for future reference.

Possibly. Or else further interrogation procedures.

[Finalapproach29er]

"AH! I saw that." "That's about ten bucks and some change."

"I had a few burgers and a few Cokes for lunch."

"How many?"

"Four or five!"

"What are you, a diabetic?"

"I dunno!"
