The great vibes and goodwill from this place
are remarkably noticeable.
Consider, the clenched jaw, the tight shoulders, and other stressed out body parts and sorrows, and confounding bugs from the over-active brain!
Enter the wonderful usual suspects of ASAH!
And Voila!
Helping Hands, genius advice, quantum hugs,
Smiles return , a softness around the edges soothes.
We all do a little typing jig and soothe and comfort and SNORT!
It's magic!
You guys are much appreciated!
Drinks all around!
Howler is serving! I saw her polishing the glasses!

(29,414 posts)and post them here (and/or elsewhere) so we can all see how it's going. How about getting that martini clock, too, from Archie McPhee? That or the backwards clock!
Oh, you will definitely need a good blender. I've found my VitaMix is great for mixed drinks, especially when you want the ice pulverized

(4,225 posts)We are not building an actual bar. We do not have the space for one.
I have a cart with two bar chairs and bar towels hanging off the sides to sit at. LOL! But I am building a fully stocked bar of spirits to be able to make any and all drinks you can get at a night club.I have all the glass wear! (well except for the rock glasses) The dollar store is a very wonderous place!!!!
I also have four neon lights in my kitchen along with other party lighting. One is a Pizza sign,A ice cream sunday,A steaming cup of hot coffee, and a neon Martini glass. The clock is fabulous but I don't have any place to put it up......But if I did, Oh YEAH!!!!!
But If your still interested I will take pictures of everything!!!! I am very excited about this project because it gives me one more way to spoil my family and friends absolutely ROTTEN!!!!!! My favorite thing to do in life!!!!
BTW!!! If anyone here is passing through Dayton Ohio You have a place to stop by or stay with all the trappings!!!! HOWLERVILLE!!!!! You all Have an extended and perminate invitation
kentauros
(29,414 posts)I also mean "building up" your stock
And, seeing as how you love bright and/or contrasting colors, I wouldn't expect that cart to remain in whatever color it is currently!
If only Dayton was nearby to Houston (as within a 500 mile radius; that's "nearby" to us ) I will be making one of my Flourless Chocolate Cakes soon for "local" friends, and y'all will just have to deal with getting photos
I'll probably post to the C&B forum, if I can manage to do a step-by-step photo-series
Howler
(4,225 posts)You could find your way out here on business or play some day!!!
Oh I definitly want to see pictures of Your flourless cake and the process so let me know when you post them1!!!
I will get Mr Howler to take pictures Next weekend. This weekend is too busy with preperations for the impending Easter bunnie's visit!!

(29,414 posts)Church of the SubGenius' book "High Weirdness by Mail"
So, I got on their mailing list for catalogues, and one year I gave my sister a "food assortment" of bubblegum-shaped "foods" I wish they still offered that one.
I'm on their email-list now. Did you see their latest? "Instant Underpants"!
These underpants are conveniently compressed into a compact pellet. Just soak them with water momentarily and theyll loosen up so that you can pull them apart! And remember, it's better to have damp underpants than no underpants at all! Each 2-1/2" round tin contains one pellet of disposable unisex underpants. Fits most children and small adults.
Why do I think of MFM when I see that item...?

Last time I had vodka in the 80's (Bloody Mary's)...Fell asleep at a friends house near the airport..When a plane took off the next morning, it took the top of my head off with it!

(23,406 posts)since I was 20. I had it at a ski resort and it was delicious. Have asked for it periodically since then, in many different places that SHOULD know how to make it, but it always sucks.
I have a feeling you'll make a most splendid bartender, Howler!!!
Keep Dewars on hand for me, please.

(4,225 posts)Well then OGR I will embark on a quest to find the very best Hot Rum recipe Just for you!!!!
1. http://thelunacafe.com/tis-the-season-for-hot-buttered-rum/
This one looks Yummy Too!!!!
2. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/colonial-hot-buttered-rum/
This one is similar to the first with less spices
..Is Less More????
http://www.food.com/recipe/very-rich-hot-buttered-rum-13267
I have never had Hot Buttered Rum But They look really tastee! I am going to have to remedy that!!!
OneGrassRoot
(23,406 posts)Since then, especially since no one (even in an Irish bar in NYC!) seemed to know what hot buttered rum really is, they've literally melted butter in rum.
All I know is, that ain't it. lol
But WOW about the versions with ice cream! I kinda think less is probably more...if one enjoys the taste of rum, that is; thus the second one looks best to me.
Howler
(4,225 posts)I like whipped cream in a cocktail better then Ice cream.....Its more like an Irish coffee that way without the Irish. Hmmmmmmmm Now how to mail the Cocktail????????????
Oh WOOT!!!!!! Just found the spell check!!!!!!!!!!

(29,414 posts)We do have unions, of course, but to many DU-ers, when you say it's a "right to work state" they seem to think that means "NO unions"
I can remember working construction in the early 80s during the summer and working with the electricians. One of them was complaining that because the unions had control of the wages set for our contract (Brown & Root, long before they became KBR) that he was making 20-cents an hour less than if they didn't set such things. I had no real idea what he was talking about and didn't care as I was making a decent wage as an electrician's helper. When you're 19 years old and making $2000 per month for a summer position forty years ago, that's a damn fine wage to me!
I prefer a speak easy!!!!
