How to Drink Moonshine
For Christmas, Magenta Green Goddess gave me a jar of moonshine. She also gave one to my mom. Here's a guide to the proper way to drink moonshine:
1. Open mom's jar and sniff. Close lid.
2. Watch mom open jar, sniff, remark about the moonshine's ability to clear sinuses and close lid.
3. Watch Gentleman Caller open lid, sniff, take a sip and remark that it isn't as bad as it smells.
4. Watch Gentleman Caller break out into a full-body sweat 30 seconds later.
5. Transport both jars across state lines into MO.
6. Offer one jar at a party. Watch guests open lid, sniff and close lid. Watch a few drunk/brave guests sip the entire jar. Call cabs.
7. Fill second jar with blackberries and put in refrigerator.
8. Wait five months.
9. Watch Gentleman Caller open jar, sniff and take a sip. Not good, but better.
10. Open jar. Sniff. Close lid.
11. Sip later tonight.
Dinner last night: Italian chicken and rice, mango pistachio crisp
Dinner tonight: Tortilla soup, cornbread, blackberry moonshine

The UT (Univ of Tennessee... the REAL UT) alumni assoc. has moonshine every year at the SEC picnic out here. It's quite good, and there's always this guy from Louisiana that walks over first thing and asks when we're going to break it out. That's rather irritating, since it's normally ten in the morning when we show up and he comes back every fifteen minutes.

Crazy Pete keeps cherries in his... These cherries make appearances @ parties and on special desserts...
