Cheers and Jeers: Limoncello Edition
Mixing instructions:
Wash the lemons with a vegetable brush and hot water to remove any reside of pesticides or wax. Carefully zest the lemons with a zester or vegetable peeler so there is no white pith on the peel. -- In a 1-gallon glass jar, add one fifth vodka and the lemon zest. Cover the jar and let sit at room temperature for at least 10 days, and up to 40 days in a cool dark place. -- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar and water and cook until thickened, appx. 5 to 7 minutes. Let the syrup cool before adding it to the limoncello mixture. Add the additional fifth of vodka. Allow to rest for another 10 to 40 days. -- After the rest period, strain and bottle, discarding the lemon zest. Keep in the freezer until ready to serve.
Editors Note: Yes, I have been negligent in my Cheering and Jeering duties for the past two weeks. I will be traveling next week and so must pass the torch back to Mighty Mike beginning next week. Mighty is spending his last day in
The most serious risk associated with Cheers and Jeers (CJ) is respiratory depression. Common CJ side effects are constipation, nausea, sedation, dizziness, vomiting, headache, dry mouth, sweating, and weakness. Taking a large single dose of CJ could cause severe respiratory depression that can lead to death. Chronic use of CJ can result in tolerance for the drugs, which means that users must take higher doses to achieve the same initial effects. Long-term use also can lead to physical dependence and addiction -- the body adapts to the presence of the drug, and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced or stopped.
I suppose Cheers is warranted to the Spurs. Four championships in nine years is a solid achievement. I profess Spurs fatigue but hey, they won.
Jeers: To the suspension of PHX Suns players during the series with the Spurs. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-UUUUURRRRNNNNNNNNSSSSSS
Cheers: To Eva Longoria. She is hot.
Cheers: To the boys of summer. It’s baseball time until the BSD returns focus to the NFL and seeing Troy Smith serve the Cobra empire.
Speaking of baseball, I don’t follow day to day scores. I examine trends. The Mets and 1-9 in the last 10 games, the Yankees are 9-1 and the Red Sox are 4-6. It’s a long season and anytime a team can stay within ten games of the leader nothing is out of the realm of possibilities.
Jeers: to the final episode of the Sopranos. Screw you guys, I’m going home.
