Oy!
I Didn’t Heed My Own Advice.
Yesterday, daughter TJ came by to help with the preparation of the Christmas golabki gwumpkies, one of the items that can be prepared in advance and frozen. After that, she helped with other Christmas preparations that have reached critical mass here at the House by the Parkway.
Then the trouble started. We decided that a bottle of champagne sparking wine would be a good idea, and we made short work of a bottle. I then said, “Hey, would you like to try so 99 Bananas?â€
“Sure†was her response. That’s my girl.
After TJ called her husband to inform him that she would be staying the night, we tossed back a few icy cold shooters and then began “experimentingâ€. Wound up mixing the 99 Bananas with Kahlua and milk on the rocks and topping it off with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Delicious. So delicious, in fact, that before I knew it, it was 1:30 in the morning and the Kahlua was gone and there was barely a shot or two left in the bottle of 99 Bananas.
This morning, TJ looked normal and was, in fact, quite chipper. I, on the other hand, looked like warmed over shit and felt worse.
Yoot. There’s no substitute.
Went looking for some 99Apples at the local liquor store. They didn’t have it on Saturday but promised they were getting some in on Monday. Hope so as the Apples and Blackberries really appeal to me. (Bananas schnapps is just too sweet.)
As for being put under the table by your daughter,,,shh, don’t let that get around to your friends down south.

Well I’m not really a fan of bananas… except direct from the grocery store… so I don’t thing the 99 Bananas would appeal to me at all. But after reading about you and TJ and the festival of imbibing… I think I have a hangover! *grin*

I believe back in the day, that was called a screaming monkey.

Cuz, thanks for the memories. If my father was still with us on Christmas, he’d be at your house telling stories and eating gwumpkies, standing close to the pot on the stove.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

Yoot. I LOVE it!
Yeah, but [cough] I’m older and I have more insurance. 😉
