First, there is the Booze in Question:
Smellyann, this is near to the Cherry Liqueur that I make but I don't put brandy in it. It's time to make it because cherries come to market in June! My recipe is Vodka, lovely sweet cherries and sugar. Mix the right amounts in a big jar, like a thoroughly cleaned glass one that had Mayo or pickles in it. You get these jars from Smart and Final or Costco maybe- if they aren't all now plastic. After the jar has everything in it, screw the lid on TIGHT! It now goes into a dark cupboard to steep like for ever. Actually it's only about a month or so.
Then it gets strained into a couple of wine bottles that have been carefully washed and carefully (hot oven) dried, cork it up and you have yourself a couple bottles of very tasty Cherry Liqueur. There are approximately 10,000 sites that tell you how to do this, with nearly as many different ingredients. My recipe came from a friend, and I'm too lazy to go try to find it. Many of my recipes went AWOL after the kitchen got remodeled.
Today is Elle's Birthday!
And now for something completely different: Horse racing. I was happy to see that none of the horses or the jockeys were hurt. I was not happy about the opportunistic rules that allow a horse to run which has not been risked in the other so called races of the Triple Crown. Triple Crown my arse.
Here is an ARTICLE, from Yahoo Sports which I think addresses the problem, unlike today's unhelpful article in the Sports section of the local rag. Tell us something we do not know next time, ok?
*Spits*
