Jack's last name is Daniels and Seven's last name is Up.
Personally I would have mine with Seven of Nine. [;)]

Homemade Caesar dressing using Martha Stewart's recipe from the Fingerlake Federal Corrrectional Facility for Rich White Women.
Twice baked potatos..bacon, cheddar, sour cream, salt..they good for you!
Yorkshire pudding with beef drippings and crispy bits turned into dericious gravy--it good for you!
Asparagus
Ribroast rubbed with garlic, salt, soy sauce, pepper but take off prastic first..it good for you!
Cheesecake with hot blueberry sauce with about 70% of blueberries popped from the heat
Wine, Jack Daniels, coffee
Omperazole, lipid-lowering agent, tylenol 1000 mg as headache prevention. Merry Christmas!
Plain old Asparagus? That can't be good for you! Better add butter and almond slivers!

Jack and seven? Figured you for jack and soda--my used to be favorite, 'cept you order it in a loud bar with an inattentive server and you wind up w/ the Seven, and I don't care for the sweet with whiskey, and as you are a partaken in finer gin, figured that cloying was beyond the alcoholic pale.

Well, I am going to try cooking the turkey in a Romertopf clay pot. I am adding "Kraken" dark rum into the pot for flavor. I have never tried turkey in the pot before. We might end up at Luby's for Christmas dinner.
[&:]
My Christmas drink
One ounce Tito's craft vodka.
One ounce Kraken Dark Rum
One ounce Bacardi 151 Rum.
A little ice to cut down the chance of spontaneous combustion.[:D]

I would like to publicly thank the Yorkies for inventing Yorkshire Pudding. That stuff is fantastic. Otherwise you would feel bad about standing over the roasting pan scraping off all the crusty bits.
I forgot to take a picture of the finished roast. I would also like to the thank the ancient residents of the Fertile Crescent for domesticating the boeve.

I wonder what it says about Dean Martin in Wikipedia
"Pretty good singer. Had a very successful nightclub act with the fantastically annoying Jerry Lewis. Smoked cigarettes on television. Famously, liked to drink adult beverages."

JJ turns SW along the Australian coast like Perry steaming into Tokyo Bay with the Great White Fleet. This turn makes sense if they are going to Port Kembla or Sydney or Newcastle. It makes less sense if they were going to Melbourne. It almost seems like they PURPOSELY let themselves be spotted a day early.
Hmmmm? Well, even so we rise to the bait with a nibble (this is a fishing reference).
