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

Does anyone here ever make their own sangria?

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

SO good.

Always Anti-fascist!

There is probably an Al Swearingen Somebody out there, new parents being what they are. Corwood, if you go on being brilliant like that you can do it wherever you want. So, yes, I'll confine my comments on that particular fucking television experience to movies in the future.

You know what would be cool? If we could pass around the Buffista Hive-Palate, sort of like the three Norns do with their single eyeball....

It would probably gag the next time I use lots of cilantro to season something.
