Sangrita with Three Juices 1 cup tomato juice
Juice of 3 limes
Juice of 2-3 oranges
Minced fresh green chiles (serranos or jalapeños) or hot salsa to taste
Salt to taste
Mix the ingredients in a blender or pitcher. Because the intensity of fresh juices and chiles vary, mix most of the ingredients, then taste and adjust accordingly. Chill well. Serve in shot glasses accompanied by shot glasses of tequila for sipping alternately. Best served with a good quality tequila.
I picked up this recipe for a tequila chaser down in Texas. It’s a fine item and does a much better job of killing the taste than a lime. Sangrita literally means “little blood” or “whale’s vagina”. Please don’t confuse it with Sangria or diversity the large wooden sailing ship from the Civil War.
Please enjoy your weekly PHARMA warning:
A rash can be a sign of a serious medical condition. See your doctor immediately if you develop a rash while taking Cheers and Jeers. Some people experience mild side effects like nausea, difficulty sleeping, drowsiness, anxiety, nervousness, weakness, loss of appetite, tremors, dry mouth, sweating, decreased sex drive, impotence, or yawning. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment and, in most cases, aren't serious enough to cause people to stop taking Cheers and Jeers.
Onto the important and habit forming experience known as cheering and jeering…. NBA PLAYOFF TIME
Pistons vs. Bulls: Game 3 tonight. The author was looking forward to this series but so far the Bulls haven’t made it a series. The Pistons look HUNGRY!! Ben Wallace be damned the Pistons guards are completely working the Bulls respected backcourt and Rip Hamilton is giving his UCONN mate Ben Gordon a smack. Can the Bulls make a series out of it tonight? PS- Gasol isn’t the answer for the Bulls.
Cavs and Nets: Wow, I cannot stand the Nets. They are SOOOO boring. Jason Kidd is Medicare eligible, Air Canada aka Air New Jersey turnpike Carter looks slow, and the NJ frontcourt (Mikey Moore, Josh Boone, Jason Collins) has been dominated by the Cavs. According to Mighty, NJ shot the ball better than 50 percent in Game 2 and still lost. The Cavs had 19 offensive rebounds in Game 2. The Cavs still need a point guard but Larry Hughes has been hitting big shots down the stretch. Ohh yeah, don’t forget King James.
I’m ready for the Cavs and Pistons Eastern Conference finals.
The West: The Suns and the Spurs: OHHHHHHHHHHH BABY this series is keeping me up late. I cannot wait to watch Game 6 and 7 of this grudge match. The winner of this series makes the finals. Authors admission: Major Spurs fatigue and loving fundamentally sound point guard play from Steve Nash (shielding shot blockers and finishing with the left hand).
Golden State and the Utah Jizz: Wasn’t sure the Jizz could run with the Warriors but after Derek Fischer’s big performance in Game 2 the Jizz have control. Thus far, the Warriors cannot stop Carlos Boozer (30 points 13 boards). Boozer has been a monster in the playoffs scoring on the freakishly tall asian Yao in round 1 and loving the freedom to move in this series. Whoever wins here gets a 6 game smackdown from the Suns/Spurs.
Jeers: to the NBA seeding system: Suns/spurs now?
Jeers: To Gutsy winning the Wrestling Draft. My posse of Stone Cold, The Governing Body of Minnesota Jesse Ventura, The Undertaker, and the HOT Trish Stratus) owns YOU.
Cheers: to more NBA playoffs tonight and this weekend.
Jeers: to west coast starting times.
Super Jeers: To the miserable advertising... E-surance, Geico all spending premium money on dumb advertisements, Sir Charles and Wade for T Mobile, and David Stern for NBA Cares. What does the NBA care about?
A) their own collective @sses
B) image
C) money
D) All of the above (please goto page 78 in this chose your own adventure)
Please accept the sexiest periodic table ever…
