The Badley Fuckitt Pop-Up Winter Gin Bar

[BadgertheBodger]

Come one, come all!

Badley Fuckitt’s pop-up Winter gin bar is open for business. We’ve got faux-sheepskins, a log fire being stoked by young Nigel and enough gin to drown an army of sealions. (Note to PETA, not real ones, natch)

Collapses on chaise longue and weakly gestures for the bottle

That needs some blue in it. Cambozola.

And for my next question, what's ambrosia? The rice pudding in a tin or is this something different and more horrifying?

We are Thigh.

Whatever it is, it really needs Cambozola to top it off. IMHO

Ambrosia = mini marshmallows, canned (ok, "tinned") mandarin slices, coconut, maraschino cherries, and whipped cream or Cool Whip. Sometimes with nuts. My great grandmother did it with nuts. Great American culinary heritage!

There's been a sad lack of booze in all these foods so far. What does one drink along with the soupy green beans etc?

Prodigal, DH insists that ambrosia is just orange slices, coconut, and Cointreau. Sadly, he is entirely mistaken.

When you're on the wagon you have to make do with adding jello to your plain ol' soupy greens for kicks

Hitches Thigh's donkey to wagon and rides rough shod round gin bar shooting cat teapot pistols in the air and singing Oklahoma!

I think I'd like your DH's version better, though I question the coconut for textural reasons.

They drink milk with dinner

Which I think is fucking sinister, grown adults drinking milk on purpose.

Only Mormons do that! and possibly Mike Pence and Mother...

Savages

My grandmother's Ambrosia (dare we call it salad) was heavy on the tinned mandarin orange segments and very light on the marshmallows. People who live on farms with cows don't do cool whip, but they do do Ambrosia salad for reasons I have yet to understand.
When our family gathers I always bring an enormous fruit plate in honor of grandmas ambrosia.

Th'morning! So what's everybody having for breakfast over here?

We're having motorbikes and stuff in Thighland, there's enough to share! thought you might like some unicorns as well!

🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

Can you process unicorn into bacon, Dangly, or does it taste like chicken?

We'll fry it up and see shall we?

I'm still working on my loaf of stollen. Also! It was cold when I got up so I put on one of those fuzzy teddy bear hoodies and had the hood up. My cat/evil demonic familiar was giving me the "you're not my mummy!" look children give their mother when she gets a dramatic haircut. Had to put the hood down and make reassuring noises before she stopped looking at me funny.

Accidentally got into several weird threads.

Long live the penis!!

Does your teddy hoody have ears? If so, I do hope they are pointy so you look like an actual kitten.

Is the point of Thanksgiving food to make sure that relatives steer well clear of your hospitality for the rest of the year and in particular don't risk inviting themselves for Christmas?

The 'jello salad' inflicted on me was in the 70s, by elderly Canadians, and was crafted from tinned vegetables in lime jelly.

Could they not at least have stuck with sweet with sweet and savory with savory? I mean, obviously lime is lovely in many savory dishes, but lime jello is another thing entirely.

Sadly my hoodie has no ears. Could easily get one with ears though!

Is cool whip like Angel Delight?

Wasn’t there a product called instant whip knocking around in the ‘70’s? Is that the same?

I knew a person as a child who pronounced it as "cool ha-whip", which did nothing to increase its already limited appeal.
