Definitely jinxed myself with this one. Our five-hour drive home took almost *nine* because of Monday's winter storm. Hope your own adventure went well, power tools and all.

Will check in sometime, if there's a chance. There's always LA, as well, though we're usually only there part of the year.

Ah, other side of the state from us, though we occasionally drive to Cleveland for the art museum. We do regularly make it to Chicago too, though, should a future lunch or cup of coffee ever sound appealing!

Not to mention Johnny Got His Gun, a National Book Award winner and all-time classic, which he wrote and published in 1939! (I cannot speak one way or the other, in this case, to the involvement of his bathtub.)

Ha! Yes. True on all counts, and yet delicious.
The other wonderfully crazed drink recipe we still have from those days is Belle's Chatham Artillery Punch. Definitely also not for the faint of heart.

Ha! I suppose that depends who's evaluating.
I didn't get even remotely ill, though, which some might interpret as dumb luck. I prefer to think of it as evidence of a heroic, finely calibrated constitution.

In my mid-teens I thawed and ate a pound bag of gray shrimp, convinced the problem was the lack of cocktail sauce, and not the fact they hadn't been cooked. My parents were nonplussed.
