• Busy!

    Hello All,

    I'm sorry I haven't been active in here. I seem to have had some sort of mail issue for a while.

    The best part for me is I now have a 2005 Chrysler Town and Country mini van thanks to help from my parents. My parents sold their house in the country and bought a nice house less then ten minutes away from me here in town.

    I am busy with health issues (doing pretty well these days) but am looking forward to better health.

    I also recently purchased a 15.6" Lenovo Thinkpad W520 (a real beast of a laptop) that I am setting up to be my main computer.

    Been cooking a lot more also.

    -- Sean

    Congrats on the new wheels and pooter!

    Been cooking a lot more also.

    What's cooking?

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Sonic Ocean Water
    Categories: Copycat, Beverages
    Yield: 2 Drinks

    3 tb Water
    2 tb Sugar
    1 ts Imitation coconut extract
    2 dr Blue food coloring
    24 oz Sprite (2 cans); cold
    Ice

    Any Sonic Drive-In regular knows the three or four unique fountain
    drink favorites on the menu. There's the Limeade, the Diet Limeade,
    and, of course, the Cherry Limeade. But that bright blue stuff called
    Ocean Water has become a recent favorite for anyone who digs the
    taste of coconut--it's like a pina colda soda. The server simply
    squirts a bit of blue coconut syrup into some cold Sprite. The big
    secret to duplicating this one at home is re-creating that syrup, so
    that's the first step. After that's done, you make the drink as they
    do at the restaurant in less time than it takes to say, "Does my blue
    tongue clash with what I'm wearing?"

    Combine the water and the sugar in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 to
    45 seconds, then stir to dissolve all of the sugar. Allow this syrup
    to cool.

    Add coconut extract and food coloring to the cooled syrup. Stir well.

    Combine the syrup with two 12 oz cans of cold Sprite. Divide and pour
    over ice. Add straws and serve.
