Good morning!!!!

Bird- The only difference between your cocktail sauce and the prepared stuff is some lemon juice, worcester sauce, and a dash of hot sauce and your sauce is probably hotter which is wifey and I prefer. I really like/liked that Arby's "horsey sauce." I make a wasabi mayonnaise which is made by mixing wasabi powder which is really food colored dried/powdered horseradish and mayonnaise which is really "close" taste-wise to the horsey sauce. Finding that wasabi powder is not easy, but 1 tin lasts forever.

Kyle- "Cardboardeaux" I rarely if ever drink it anymore. It brings up some rather "unpleasant memories."

One of my worst memories of my youth was the morning after a night with one of the bottles of Chianti that came in a basket type wrap. Don’t think I’ve had Chianti since.

I have similar memories related to Seagram's 7. It was a double header dose of food poisoning headlined by a pizza from a place called Theresa's. I still like pizza, but I'll never mix whiskey and cola again!

Yep...on the deck (Adirondack chair) puffing on a cigar (we don't smoke in the house) sipping on Cutty Sark, enjoying the late afternoon and evening...can't beat it!
Cutty Sark probably isn't the best scotch available (I'm not a connoisseur) but has a nice smoky aftertaste that goes well with a good cigar.

All this talk about different drinks and no one has mentioned Thunderbird or MD 20-20.:laughing: In the mid '60s, Thunderbird was the wine of choice of the street people in Dallas, but then it was replaced by MD 20-20. I guess I was always a bit surprised by the change from a white wine to a red one. I tried the Thunderbird once; horrible stuff, and I always wanted to taste MD 20-20 but not enough to buy a bottle, so I've never tasted it.:laughing:

What's the word?
THUNDERBIRD!!
Who drinks the most?
(remainder is politically incorrect and somewhat racist)

Then there was Ripple Wine...the wine that destroyed Norfolk Virginia!!

Bali Hi(sp?) and Arribas(sp?) were another common street wines and like all of them, often "fortified" with psychoactive chemicals. More unpleasant memories and not of the additives.

A well equipped wino's wine cellar and more unpleasant memories. Must be served at ambient temperature, in the original container, and in a paper bag.

Enjoyed an early Easter dinner with a little something special, my own salad and pak choy. It was time to pick, and my cheap Amazon veggie knife worked great, long handle means I don't have to bend as much and it slid through like butter with a slight sawing motion. I left an inch of lettuce on the bottom, pretty sure it will grow back.
After slicing the cabbage into smaller pieces I sauteed it with some bits of ham and a leftover sausage, some ginger, Worcestershire, garlic and East Carolina vinegar and pepper sauce.
Chinese cabbage has lots of flavor and not bitter at all if picked this young. Really no way of cutting that off high enough to let it grow back, so what's there is it. Plenty...

So my basemark for early will now be, am I eating something I grew by Easter. I'm sure folks in Texas are.

And for every success, there are failures. Repeated ones... cucumbers got way too windblown the day I put them out, just beat them to death. Plus I didn't harden them enough.
Which reminds me I need to bring in the seedling trays on the back porch where they are prepping for their big day. Soil temp was 70 when I left it, dropping to about 50 at night.
Hopefully some warm days ahead will germinate the beans. Before it gets cold again...up down up down.
This week I plant the melons which will go outside in two weeks.

Hope you all have had a wonderful day with family.
