Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

Carl's Jr.

Carl's came to Canada a few years ago but never took off.

No Hardee's, either? Thought not.

Nope. Canadian Harvey's argued successfully in court that the name
might be confusing to consumers, so all the CKE outlets are branded
as Carl's Jr. (That judge must have had a very low opinion of the
average consumer's intelligence!)

I also recommend filling those large cups just half way!)

I can gulp down two 20-oz "cup"fuls in moments,
the most notable deviation in my diet from what
the nutritionists recommend. That goes for beer
as well.

I have absolutely no desire to ever try to drink that much pop. 40
oz of beer though is barely enough,

Good reason not to go to the fast-food emporia too often.

I hit A&W (so a mug of root beer) and order delivery pizza (no pop)
about six times a year each. That's it.

Title: Artillerymen's Punch

Doesn't actually look all bad. I'm dubious
about black tea recipes, but the few I've
tasted have been not unobjectionable (the
best one can say).

It is finally above freezing here today for the first time since
last Oct. Time to finish off the dregs of the brown liquors of
winter to make way on the shelf for the clear liquors of summer. I
bought some ginger ale to go with the rye and also to make ersatz
Dark and Stormys with Kraken spiced rum, Canada Dry ginger ale and
a squeeze of Realime juice from those little plastic juice
squeezers.

I also bought fresh bottles of gin and vermouth and as I still have
a half bottle of Cointreau I started looking up martini-like recipes
with an added dash of orange flavour. I found over a hundred with
various ratios of gin to vermouth to orange, dry vermouth, sweet
vermouth and two vermouths along with a number of different orange
ingredients: fresh juice, bitters, Triple Sec, Curacao, Grand
Marnier and Cointreau plus sometimes a fourth ingredient. I started
off with 1 1/2 oz gin, 1/2 oz dry vermouth and 1/4 oz Cointreau but
found it unbalanced. The next one was 1 oz gin, 1/2 oz each vermouth
and Cointreau which was quite an improvement. Once I discover the
perfect blend I shall name it and publish it here.

Slumgullion
1/2 lb cubed cheese

I do not put any cheese in mine.
