Sinner's Alley Happy Hour (Part 1)

<p>YUM! We had white sangria made with white peaches, which have the most delicate flowery flavor. I didn’t add any fruit nectar (diabetic in the house)–just used lots of fruit, (strawberries, an orange & peaches), wine, & some seltzer to make it bubbly. Tho peach brandy sounds like a good addition! </p>

<p>My DH is out of town but all these recipes are tempting me to drink alone…gotta try them…</p>

<p>Thanks for the ideas. With 3 bottles I can try a few.
SBMom- would I find Looza at Via Maestra?</p>

<p>Don’t you just love the way ripe peaches smell? When I was pregnant with my son, I craved peach juice. Drank it by the aesceptic containerful.</p>

<p>BTW, heard from Aluson. “i’m great, having lots of fun. I won’t call you tomorrow. Probably call when I go to the (next) program. Love you.”</p>

<p>I love boys. Champagne and peach juice all around…</p>

<p>How are you holding up with two on different continents?</p>

<p>I’m OK. Just have to cross every one of my fingers at every moment.</p>

<p>This family on multi-continents thing for the summer is yukky. It’s all I can do to not book a flight and go check in on D in Germany! Especially since she’s getting together w/ H’s favorite uncle this weekend. When she calls, she keeps lapsing into talking German mid-sentence, without realizing it, so I guess she’s getting by OK!! I’ve looked at this as my “dry run” for her leaving for college in August (she’ll be back 3 weeks before we take her to school). So far, I’ve done OK…I’ll still be glad to get our verizon free calls and being able to IM in the same time zone back.</p>

<p>Mom 60, I’m not sure, but that sounds like a good possibility. Or maybe Gelson’s? Though the fresh white peaches are insanely good right now; might be your best bet.</p>

<p>TJFS is now a licensed driver… :eek: </p>

<p>Still in the honeymoon period wherein he is happy to go pick up something at the grocery store for me, just to get behind the wheel. I’m enjoying that while it lasts. I recall with D it lasted for about two weeks.</p>

<p>mom60- I think they sell Looza in most grocery stores, and in higher end markets (Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Trader Joes). Or, Amazon <a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Looza-Peach-Nectar-6-70-oz/dp/B000AQDL0U[/url]”>http://www.amazon.com/Looza-Peach-Nectar-6-70-oz/dp/B000AQDL0U&lt;/a&gt; Maybe we can order a case for SA?</p>

<p>Total change of subject–anyone superstitious or a gambler or anything, and going to do anything special tomorrow, on 07/07/07 at 7:07 am or pm?</p>

<p>I never heard about the 7/7/07 thing. But oh man, while on the elliptical at the gym last night, there was this show on the History Channel across the room trying to scare everyone about 12/12/2012 and how all these prophetical civilizations throughout history are supposedly pointing at that date as an end-of-world time. I smell Y2K all over again…</p>

<p>As for me, I am actually going to TAKE A DAY OFF today! I have 5 weeks of vacation a year (one perk of actually sticking with the same company for 24 years) and so far this year I’ve taken… 2 days. So… off I go to sit in the backyard and float in the pool and sip a cool one. I think today it may be a margarita. But not until noon, of course. :)</p>

<p>but mootmom, it’s already noon here on the east coast! Go right ahead with that cool one!</p>

<p>momof3sons, I <em>LIKE</em> your thinking! :smiley: And I may go right ahead!</p>

<p>After I finish my breakfast coffee, that is.</p>

<p>There was an article in the local paper about one of the local weddings planned for tomorrow…the girl has always had a major fascination with the number “7”, (and numbers in general)…she figured out when she was 13 that 7/07/07 was a Saturday, so she always dreamed on getting married that day. The article ended with her making some comment about maybe having their first kid on 11/11/11.</p>

<p>Just got off of a long haul flight. We’re now a family on four different continents.</p>

<p>Nice flight–oh yeah, except for the kid one seat over who barfed 50 times (!) into a succession of barf bags handed to him by his neighbors because his dimwitted mother wouldn’t TAKE HIM TO THE LOO. Crikey. </p>

<p>Sometimes I think that half the parents in America need Supernanny to make a visit and 'splain things to them.</p>

<p>cheers----ewwwwww! And…4 different continents? You deserve a prize!</p>

<p>50 times? Just the sound of it would have made my husband join him.</p>

<p>Maybe the kid was in that hotdog eating contest?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>3/4 of the parents. I love Supernanny!</p>

<p>lol!! cheers, it is very scary how many parents need supernanny, if they only had a clue!</p>

<p>Oh what a horrible flight! Sounds like you need a cocktail!</p>

<p>Haha. It was 50–a loud 50 at that. That kid went through at least 7 barf bags! Your husband might not have made it, mathmom.</p>

<p>I’m too jetlagged to drink. Maybe tomorrow… ;)</p>

<p>Cheers-
Just curious… At what point did you start keeping count? :)</p>
