Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots of Smirnoff 100 to get the party started. Now, a Vespa. Vodka, banana liqueur, and ginger ale over ice in a highball glass.

I don’t have any ginger ale, so I substituted ginger beer. Yummy!

I’m so glad I got the banana liqueur at last. I’m surprised how many cocktails call for it. Now I can try them all.

I love you all…

1. How's the job situ? Are you still on a "hold" pattern?

[Aristus]

12. I've had a job interview.

Got a follow-up on Monday. We’ll find out then.

[Mme. Defarge]

28. Bonne chance

mon ami!

[Aristus]

30. Merci beaucoup, chere Madame!

[Easterncedar]

2. I had some cold Vinho verde earlier

Now I’m just mellowing out after a good six hours of yard work (I got a very late start!), sitting by the fire and reading. A little achy, but the sleeping bag is lined with soft flannel and will be comforting.

So how was your day?

[Aristus]

14. Relaxing.

[True Dough]

3. What do you want for Christmas?

We're only 2.5 months away. And when do you do your Christmas shopping for loved ones?

[Aristus]

15. President-elect Kamala Harris.

Best Christmas present ever.

[Mme. Defarge]

29. After spending my birthday last year

in ER, this year’s presidential debate watching birthday party, chez moi, more than made up for it. K.O.’d by Kamala! It was the absolute best.

[Frasier Balzov]

4. Would you board a self-driving vehicle?

[Aristus]

16. I wouldn't.

I like to drive, or else leave the driving to someone I trust.

[Aristus]

31. Nope.

Unless the self is me.

[cilla4progress]

5. Banana liquor, eh?

😁

[Aristus]

17. Yeah.

[Bristlecone]

6. Would "99 Bananas" substitute for banana liqueur?

Not that you’d want to….

Enjoy your weekend.

[Aristus]

18. That's what I have. 99 Bananas.

Are there other banana liqueurs?

[Bristlecone]

27. I assumed there was. That stuff always seemed a little schnapps-ish to me

And I know it’s a bit of a partier’s shooter being grain alcohol and sugar.

Now I know!

[dameatball]

7. Does Patron seem to make you forgetful about small details? Have I asked you this before?

[Marthe48]

10. If drinking alcohol affects your short-term memory

just think what drinking alcohol will do

[Prairie_Seagull]

11. huh huh huh

That's my Bevis or Butthead impersonation. I can't remember why the hell I am doing that.

[Aristus]

25. ...

[Aristus]

19. No, you haven't.

If you had, I would have remembered.

[Phoenix61]

8. I just bought 10 bottles of Smirnoff Peppermint Twist vodka.

I mix it with Irish Cream and cocoa to make a drink I call White Christmas and give pints of it to friends for Christmas presents. It’s hard to find closer to the holiday so I stocked up early.

[Aristus]

20. Sounds very festive!

[Marthe48]

9. What country would you like to visit?

Or what part of the U.S.?

[Aristus]

21. Finland.

Beautiful snowy country. Lovely people. Amazing language.

Someday…

[Marthe48]

24. I can see the attraction

One of the AFS volunteers I know exchanged to Finland when he was a teen. He learned a lot of swear words And 40+ years later, still wished he could've stayed longer

[MissB]

13. Is the banana liqueur a bit sweet?

[Aristus]

22. On the sweet side.

But not too much.

[AKwannabe]

23. What did ya have to eat?

I just had Ivars. Cod chips and Caesar salad

Couple beers at happy hour earlier.
Gotta work at 8am so Imma call it a night on the booze.

I did just get a bottle of hard Huckleberry cider from the bottle store. Maybe pop it tomorrow night with supper.

[Aristus]

26. MOD Pizza.
