Wouldn't it be great to have root beer made the old fashioned way, like in the early 1900's, when things were pure and adding pollutants to beverages was unheard of....
WOOT, then we could have genuine Root Beer Floats! And I could play the Root Beer Rag, a very wild piano piece written by Billy Joel, if you can believe!
I dont think i've ever had root beer. Whats it like?
Pretty good - not as good as Sarsaparilla, though. :p
The flavour of Root Beer is kind of hard to describe, I think that Robin provided a good answer. But the best thing about Root Beer is that when you pour it, there is a huge foamy head, which I try to slurp off quickly, before it dissipates.... **yummmmmmmy**
right... and eh... whats sarsparilla like?Quote:

Would you like me to mail you a can, Niamh? ;)
I think I'm just gonna watch you guys eating and drinking and....*the pain* and having fun..*runs to the corner and cries*...Okay..that was a little too lame..lol
wait... isnt sarsparilla not like... fire water? :p Is that the stuff in calamity jane?...Sure why not! If i end up as sick as a dog...well then i know who to give the evil eye too!:p :lol:Quote:

Eh.. Right... Okay... I might be a bit confused. But a well! I'm sure its nice anyway!
Sangria Anyone?
Oh Sangria! :D I looooove virgin sangria.
We'll need some nachos and salsa with it though...

This is sangria!

Sangría is a wine punch which originated in Spain and Portugal. The word sangría comes from the Spanish sangre meaning blood. It typically consists of
red wine,
chopped or sliced fruit,
a sweetener such as honey or orange juice,
a small amount of added brandy, triple sec, or other spirits.
lemonade or another soft drink
Because of the variation in recipes, sangría's strength can vary greatly.
I had sangria in a Mexican restaurant a while back and they had put taquella in it! Very strong! But very nice!
Good afternoon ladies. Do you still have any cookies going spare? I've been away and my attempts to keep up with your conversations over some of that time proved difficult, so in the end I gave up and got back to working. But now I find myself with little to do and thought it would be rude to be passing and not pop in for a visit.
Hey Bluebiird. *rummages around for snacks*
We have cookies plus a few other things...Taste great, 0 calories, since some of us expressed a concern. :)

Who wants to join me in flamenco dancing?
I'm not much of a dancer, so I'll just sit here and scarf cookies. :lol:
Actually..I like that idea better :D
O.k I would like a large hot cup of java. 2 creams and 1 sugar. Oh and a shot of expresso please. So, where were we??
I'd love to..........:thumbs_upQuote:

How should we approach flamenco?
Actually, Drama, the Sangria just might help..... Flamenco is a dance of passion! Free yourselves from self-restraint, summon up all of your longings and desires, and let all of your feelings flow out ouf you through the gyrations of your bodies.
Sounds exhaustingly sensual,and all the better for it!
Hey you're more then welcome ......Quote:
