The Sandbar...Home of the Indoor Hurricane!: Jello-Fish


The Sandbar...Home of the Indoor Hurricane!: Jello-Fish: "Jello-Fish

Recently, Dave was inspired by our good friend John (from The Hawk) to try something new- jello shots. John had whipped up a batch of them for a day on the lake, and after he explained to Dave just how easy they were to make (and that they could be created at the bar and not in our kitchen), Dave was sold.

Labor Day weekend was a test run for this new idea. We bought massive quantities of jello at Dillon's and experimented with different flavors of jello and liquor. We made enough for a birthday party, the football game tailgate, a pool party, and a lake party- and they were a hit at each event.

Dave found perfectly sized plastic cups, with lids, and made his first batch at the bar last night. I like to think these might have cheered up the crowd a little bit after the shocking last minute loss in the KU football game. We even have whipped cream to add on top. Stop by some night to check out our new jello-fish shots and let us know your favorite flavors."

Just goes to show you how easy and fun Jello Shots are! And see how easily they prettied them up with a little whipped cream. These guys didn't even have my eBook - or they could have saved a lot of time experimenting. However, the experimentation *is* fun...

I found this rather interesting self-quiz online. I was drawn to it because the person who'd completed the quiz had answered "What is your favorite beverage?" with: "Jello Shots, but I'll pretty much drink anything."

"Are you a smoke​r or a drink​er?​

What was the last thing​ that made you upset​?​

Can you count​ to 23958​?​

UT Austin - University of Texas Austin OTR: "Trysexuality": Is It the Real Deal?

UT Austin - University of Texas Austin OTR: "Trysexuality": Is It the Real Deal?: "Oh, how we cherish the days when promiscuity isn't (entirely) frowned upon. Waking up in a stranger's bedroom, collecting our articles of clothing, one after the other, as we try to remember last night after the four Everclear jello shots. The age-old story about the girl swept off her lovely drunk feet in a rush of college lust and passion...right?"

The above is sort of tongue-in-cheek, but it does point out an interesting trend in our society, that we are incrementally tossing away moral taboos and these days the "walk of shame" isn't quite as shameful as it was. Whether it was due to the "four Everclear jello shots" or simply a desire to live more by our own rules and less by others, I think the ship is definitely steering toward more open-attitude waters.

What do you think?

The Botched Cronicles - Yum score sheet.

The Botched Cronicles - Yum score sheet.:

"63. Vodka jelly/Jell-O shot
Yes. There are bars which sells “shots” in syringes. SICK."

Hmmm. I really couldn't disagree more - maybe they weren't Jello Shots? Or maybe he just has bad aim! What do you think?

Very Good Taste » blog » The Omnivore’s Hundred

So I have been seeing something called "The Omnivore's 100" on people's blogs out there, and hunted down the original link, a UK foodie.

Very Good Taste » blog » The Omnivore’s Hundred: "The Omnivore’s Hundred

Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers."

The reason why this keeps catching my eye is item # 38 on the list:

"38. Vodka jelly/Jell-O" - a.k.a., Jello Shots!

So I am not the only person who thinks Jello Shots are cool!

I recommend you go to www.verygoodtaste.co.uk and get your own copy of the list - and by all means, check me out when it comes to the Jello Shots! I have ticklers out there for people who have had interesting experience with Jello Shots, we should be seeing a few of those in upcoming blog posts. :)
