Ingredients:
1 part Tequila
1 part Vodka

1 part Chambord raspberry liqueur

Mixing instructions:
shake ingredients and pour over ice and feel the music and the coloooors.

IMPORTANT WARNING!

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally... but this one is real, and it's important. So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up, DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!! They only want to see you naked.

I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

Lounging at the movies: The Good The Bad and the Ugly

The Queen (2006)
If you are a fan of the Royal family you are in for a treat. We felt that the actors really took the bull by the horns, no pun intended. You get a real feeling of the fragile but proper institution that control a country. How a modern event such as divorce and then death can rock the foundation of power and how it is delicately corrected. 3 or more thumbs up and a request for a beer.

Why We Fight (2005)
Documentary about Americans and why we are always in some sort of conflict. We may not agree with what this film preaches but it is an interesting look into the politics of American warfare. We felt a bit shameful at the end but then again we would not live in any other country in the world. Well maybe Canada, Canadians are so polite. 1 thumb up and an uncomfortable sneer.

Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth (2004)
Holy smoke this dude is funny. He will take a shot at any situation. 4 thumbs up and a wink and a nod.

Apocalypto (2006)
A fairly brutal story of life in the time of the Mayan hay day. It puts a little perspective on what humans see as cruel in current history compared to past history. We found it to be uncomfortable with some of the imagery of how everyday life was in this time. No matter how bad they have it, the end of this film will give you a bit of a chill. If we never see a mans naked butt again it will be to soon.

Smokin' Aces (2007)
We thought we would like this film more than we did. It has a great cast and crazy action but the story lingers and all the cards are played near the end. I think if we had known what was going on from the beginning it would have made for a much more intense film. Alfred Hitchcock could have made this film work. Gritty with drug use that made us feel sick.

The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (2006)
This movie is about art that is created by..... well we are not sure because we turned it off.

Lounge Eats: Bourbon Chicken

What is better than grilling with a cocktail than having a cocktail with what you are grilling. This is the circle of life.

What you need:
1 pound boneless chicken breast

For the glaze:
2 cup Bourbon Whiskey - divided
1 cup Ketchup
1/2 cup dark Brown Sugar
1/4 cup white Vinegar
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry Mustard
3 cloves Garlic minced
Dash Salt and Pepper

Take 1 cup of Bourbon and pour it in a glass. This is for you. Enjoy.

Combine the ingredients for the glaze. Take a little of the glaze,leaving enough to brush on chicken, and marinate the chicken for about 30 minutes.

Start your grill. When coals are hot grill the chicken and brush remaining glaze on the chicken for the last 10 minutes of cook time.

Notice:
Smokers are productive. But death cuts efficiency

 


Hmmmmm.
