Date and time

of your Luau please? I Love California too! Unfortunately, I could never afford to live there.

 

[richardc1983]

the drink

This looks delicious but I was wondering what was in your glass! Lemon tea?

 

[vacerator]

Maybe

a long Island iced tea?

The drink was just plain ol' unsweetened iced tea with a couple of lime slices. I don't like my tea sweet (despite my genteel southern heritage hahaha) and I certainly don't like it "Long Island" style.

Why, that looks so yummy, I can almost feel my blood pressure redlining critical! I can almost sense the blood clots forming within my lungs and brain, truly, this is one dish to die for...especially for the waistline! As always keep the decadent recipes coming. Indeed, they are a culinary dream come true for your watery taste buds, but they are the worst nightmare for your cardiologist! But, nevertheless, the undertaker loves such sinful dishes...enjoy while your still young for there will come a day sooner than you will ever think when the hammer of bad health falls, and, boy, when it falls it falls mighty hard like grease lightening!!! And by the way, did you use my coleslaw recipe!?

Iced Tea

Is good any way you fix it, but I like it REALLY sweet...Bridges BBQ in Shelby NC has THE BEST tea on earth...Donald thinks its too sweet, but I love it.Lime would be good in it too.

 

[vacerator]

Ken, you've

mentioned Bridges before, no? I love good BBQ also, but I use Splenda for sweetener in my iced tea.
Stay high and dry if Matthew pounds North Carolina Ken. You might at least get the rains.
Long Island ice tea has no tea in it. It's seven different liquors and booze.
