Friday Fives
1. What is your favorite drink recipe? The Harvey Wallbanger Vodka (I am fond of Kettel One), Cointreu, Orange Juice, Ice in a pint glass. Stir vigorously. Add a floater of Galliano to the top and enjoy. It's like an old-fashioned orange creamsicle. The Gin and Tonic Gin, tonic,lime in a high ball class - stir vigoursly. Enjoy. And in colder months a Martini. 7 shots premium gin (Bombay Blue Saphirre is my choice) one half shot vermouth. shake in an ice cold shaker full of ice. Pour some vermouth into a cocktail glass and swirl and rinse. Discard the vermouth. Fill the glass with ice to chill. Shake, shake, shake, shake. When ice has take over the outside of the shaker, it has been shaken enough. Discard the ice in the cocktail glass and strain your drink into it. Serve with a cocktail onion or a pepperoncini. Enjoy.
2. What is your favorite comfort food? Smothered burritos with homemade green chili. Or lasagna. Depending on the mood. I do turn to food when I am anxious. I tend to also migrate to candy as a comfort food - Red Vines and gummy bears are constant companions for anxiety.
3. What is your favorite comfort song? This is tough. I love music and usually have something going all the time. But the favorite comfort song would be that song you play over and over and over again. Hmmmmmm. I think recently it would be "Lonesome Day" by Springsteen. Lonesome Day (Bruce Springsteen, 2002) Baby once I thought I knew, everything I needed to know about you. Your sweet whisper, your tender touch; I didn't really know that much. Jokes on me, but it's gonna be OK, if I can just get through this Lonesome Day. Hell is brewing, dark sun's on the rise, this storm'll blow through by and by. House is on fire, vipers in the grass, a little revenge and this too shall pass. This too shall pass, darling, I'm gonna pray. Right now, all I got's this Lonesome Day. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, yeah (3x) it's all right, it's all right... Better ask questions before you shoot. Deceit and betrayal's bitter fruit. It's hard to swallow, come time to pay, that taste on your tongue don't easily slip away. Let kingdom come, I'm gonna find my way, after this Lonesome Day. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, yeah (6x)
4. In a world without television, what do you do on a rainy/snowy day? Write in my journal. Play computer chess. Cook - (usually bread or something complicated.)
5. Rabbit's foot or horseshoe? What is your lucky totem? Well, after last weekend's gambling fest in Central City, I would say I am running totemless. But I do keep a polished blue rock in my pocket that reminds me of my dad.
