Ann, that's a ferret.

In Southern Wisconsin, a little of everything was a Zombie.

Half lemonade, half iced tea is an Arnold Palmer. Except to Hubs, who calls it an Arnold Ziffel.

Black and Tan is a color combination I don't wear.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Calli, I'm so sorry.

black and tan used for a drink made of porter and ale: 1889

Interesting, since Guinness is stout.

t edit Stout being what I, personally, associate with a half and half/black and tan; my own association doesn't mean that the rest of the world agrees with me.

t edit again Perhaps Guinness just became the most popular of the "black" part of the drink through marketing or whatnot, and shoved aside porter.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I have 3 boxes of Luna bars that are on that recall list.

Here are the affected lots: [link]

The company in question is in Georgia, so I've been following it pretty closely. It sound like they've had some very poor manufacturing practices for some time, so I'd be pretty leery of anything on the FDA lists. The company's major product is a mashed peanut product used in making peanut butter baked goods.

People are even calling for the resignation of Tommy Irvin, who's been agriculture commissioner since 1969. He's a fossil who's kept this state years behind in food safety and organic standards, and if this finally takes him out, it will be one good thing.

On the other hand, the number of people saying they're giving up all peanut products could be disastrous for the state.

Steph, Wikipedia suggests that stout was developed from porter, which I had no idea: [link]

And I just spent 5 minutes crying at my desk over Calli's father. Whom I never met. But I know how much she loved him.

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

Calli, I am so very sorry.

Porter is magic!

And I just spent 5 minutes crying at my desk over Calli's father. Whom I never met. But I know how much she loved him.

It was her LJ post that made me cry.

Which -- Calli, I don't know if you'll see this, but I am so sorry. Peace to you and your family.

What's your Arnold Palmer-ized version of a half and half?

half sweet lemonade, half unsweetened iced tea

In TOTAL agreement on this. That's what an Arnold Palmer is.

Porter is magic!

Also yes! THIS! But I love stout too, so I'm easy with the dark beers.

Calli, I'm so sorry about your father.
