It's on Wednesday you daft bats Grin

Good: I made a v good baked syrup sponge tonight.

Bad: I have run out of wine Shock. The only wine in house is a bottle of mulled wine donated by MIL.

Worse: I have run out of gin. Even the sloe gin has run out.

My alcoholic choices are sherry, cherry brandy, bacardi or stells.

Not sure I can face MC without Wine. Anyone suggest a good cocktail?

GlitterKitty · 13/02/2012 20:57

Oh fuck.

GlitterKitty · 13/02/2012 20:58

I still need to knopw a good cocktail, btw.

Something deconstructed and served with a smear of leftover custard?

AuntingCarse · 13/02/2012 21:01

Cocktail, for tonight? Hmmmmm, are the ingredients listed above those that I have to play with? Along with said smear of custard?

You may call me Aunty Grin

^ there's some for starters Glitter. Now I know what else you have I shall be back with more...

GetOrfMoiiLand · 13/02/2012 21:14

I have JUST GOT AuntingCarse's name after wondering what it alluded to for aaaages.

And it's on Wednesday, plonkers.

AuntingCarse · 13/02/2012 21:16

Er Glitter.... Do you actually want to use all liquids in your house? That lot sounds like something my revolting teenagers would empty into a fishbowl and shove giant straws in.

GlitterKitty · 13/02/2012 21:16

Bloody hell AC! Grin thank you!

Its like masterchef, it sounds great will it taste vile? who can say.

Right. Have lemons but no fizzy water. The lemon sherry idea actually made me retch a bit.

Which to try!?

AuntingCarse · 13/02/2012 21:16

Grin GetOrf

GlitterKitty · 13/02/2012 21:17

No, Aunty, I only drink a) nice wine or b) gin and tonic. But I have run out of both, can I really make hideous pernod-sherry punch in a fishbowl?

AuntingCarse · 13/02/2012 21:18

Use the tonic in place for the Cherry Fizz, but maybe up the lemon juice a tad.

AuntingCarse · 13/02/2012 21:19

Well, my daughters would because they are disgusting teenagers.
