Comments:
Okay, here is the story.
After a very bad Friday, which included work,
an hour long MRI (with contrast), and a traffic jam home to
the Jersey Shore in July... I needed something to keep me from
going on a killing spree.
I was checking out movies to see this weekend
and I was split between seeing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
with Sean Connery or Pirates of the Carribean with Johnny Depp.
I made the call by going to each one of their sites - Pirates
won out because of Johnny Depp's "Keith Richard's like"
perfomance.
Inspired by the movie and having a real alcholic
need for DRINK. I found the recipe for grog.
Historically, grog is a citrus drink made with
rum to keep sailors from getting scurvy. It combines four elements:
Limes/lemons (sour), Sugar (sweet), Rum (strong), and Water
(weak).
After a tankard of this stuff I was ready to
sack and pillage the nearest town. I suggest you use 151 Bacardi
or Bacardi Gold.
