That way I can compress all the drinks together. That pairs the intense experience with a small absolute number of drinks, so, drunk + no hangover. What 5 o'clock rule?

Nice!  I'd make some wings myself, but the jambalaya is probably about all the spice I need.  What's your technique?  I like to bake them first, and then fry them.  If you're not frying, you're not trying.  The nice thing about baking them first is that you don't need to worry about fully cooking them in the fryer; you can just get them to your desired level of crispiness. Maybe you could convince your wife to don the tight white shirt and orange shorts.

A few years back, a group of friends gathered at my house for the weekend for a field study of commercially available tequilas, orange liqueurs, margaritas and a subjective evaluation of taste versus cost. Between all of us, we had over 20 different bottles of tequila and 5 orange liqueurs and set up endless blind taste tests. All in the name of science, you understand. For straight shots, Patron Silver was 3rd behind Gran Centenario Añejo and Milagro Añejo. It was interesting that a silver placed this high, even above the other Patron types. In the margarita tests, we used the same homemade "mix" (2.5x fresh squeezed lime, 1x fresh squeezed white grapefruit, .5x Agave nectar) and varied the combinations of tequila and orange. It took the entire weekend, but, like Sisyphus, we drudgingly persevered. The Gran Centenario again topped the list with Cointreau and Patron Citronge leading the orange category. Coming in at 3rd in their respective idioms on the margarita tests, and dominating the value/taste test, were El Jimador Reposado tequila and Gran Gala orange liqueur (above Grand Marnier!). The El Jimador was 1/2 the cost of the Patron and in a direct margarita face-off actually came out ahead. The Gran Gala costs less than than the elite liqueurs and may even bring a bit more orange to the palate. The El Jimador is made by Herradura. I enjoy margaritas immensely, but at some point it seems a waste to mix really expensive tequila when you can enjoy it's smoothness straight instead. I just received a bottle a bottle of Don Julio Reposado as a gift this morning...perhaps we'll crack it on Sunday. More than likely, I'll be drinking Pilsner Urquell for the Super Bowl. -------------- "I, OTOH, am an underachiever...I either pee my pants or faint dead away..."

I'm headed off to NH for the weekend, and then back Sunday at 4 Eastern, with just enough time to cook before kickoff.  I really look forward to reading more replies when i get back.

I typed up that response just before leaving to a lunch meeting...which ended up at a Mexican restaurant...with clients who don't partake of the spiritual world (at least the fermented kind). Because of the prelude, for the entire lunch, my thoughts were dominated by how good a margarita would taste right NOW! DAMN IT!

That's bad enough, but being asked "If you want fries with that" in a really thick Brummie* accent totally ruins a) the delightfully tacky nature of Hooters, b) the nice boobies partially on display, and c) the flavour of the hot sauce and wings. Thereby ruining the whole experience. Louis * See here for an example.

Ate some sliced with raw ground beef and a bit of salt. Heated up the cast iron skillet, dropped in some ghee, dropped in hollowed out slice of rye, cracked in an egg, covered for 2 minutes, turned and sprinkled on teeny bit of cheese, covered for 1 minute. Sprinkled on some garlic powder. Not bad at all.
