The name discussion reminds me, does anyone remember and have the link for the thing where you can enter a name, and then it shows you on a graph the name's popularity throughout the years? I thought I bookmarked it but apparently not.
I would be there right now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

ZOMG, that song just came up on my iTunes. Freaky. Or notsomuch.
Cindy, at the restaurant, we use Chianti, brown sugar, apples, oranges, cinnamon sticks, and lemons. We also make white sangria - white wine (I misremember, but not Chardonnay - sweeter), apples, oranges, lemons, limes, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. It is Teh Yum.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Does anyone here ever make their own sangria?
I made some white sangria not too long ago. I put apple brandy, white rioja wine, apples, pears, and peaches in it. It was Yum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Cindy, I've never made alcoholic sangria, but I sort-of remember a recipe for a non-alcoholic version that went over well when I was in high school. Even made it for a class party or two.
Take one 2-liter bottle of 7-Up. Add one can (is it 64 ounces? anyway, one of the big cans) of Hawaiian Punch. Cut up fruit to taste (oranges work well, and so surprisingly do apples), toss in. Chill well.
I may be getting the proportions wrong, but it's in that neighborhood.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

White grape juice, orange juice, apple juice, cheapest burgundy I can find, chopped up fruit.
SO good.
