  1. Cheers.

    In honour of today being the 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition in the United States, my offering for the weekly potluck/games night that we host over here at Casa Xandra and Sam, is this thing that I have just invented called Prohibition Repeal Punch.

    Recipe!

    1 Bottle of cheap champagne

    About a litre of lime flavoured mineral water

    Obscene amounts of raspberry liqueur to taste (use Chambord if you’re rich, use no-name raspberry liqueur if you’re me.)

    Mix, drink until you’re silly.


  2. Holy crap, have I mentioned that I am SO excited about Canadian politics right now?

    Things are seriously awesome and amazing and suddenly more exciting than US politics for a change.  I wish I had someone in this country with whom to gleefully discuss how gleeful I am about Harper’s impending political death, but mostly I am just being gleeful on my own.

    Also, here is my research report on political turmoil:

    THAILAND STYLE:  Get really mad, angrily storm the airports.

    CANADA STYLE:  Get kinda peevish, politely sign some documents.
