- Apple Pie Shot
Apple Pie Shot Recipe:
One of our fall favorite shots is the Apple Pie Shot. There are several ways to prepare and serve this delicious treat, it is best prepared in advance so here’s how to do it…
Basic Ingredients: Vodka or Everclear (for bulk), Apple Juice, Cinnamon Sticks.
Preparation: Mix Apple Juice and Booze, either a good quality Vodka like Absolute or Skyy in equal parts (1 to 1) in a large container. Add 2 cinnamon sticks and allow to soak for a few hours or days.
For a stonger shot, replace Vodka with Everclear neutral grain spirits (151 or 190 proof) and it will knock your socks off!
For a bar setup, we like to keep this shot on hand for several weeks in the fall, so we prepare it in bulk. We use a clear empty glass vodka bottle with a pour spout as the dispensing container. To brew the concoction, we use a large apple juice bottle and empty out half of the juice, replacing that with our booze. Throw in a couple of cinnamon sticks and let it hatch for as long as you like. The booze will prevent any spoilage, but don’t let it sit too long. You can keep the serving bottle in your keg box to cool it down, then to serve, just pour into a 1 oz shot glass and top with whip cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. Enjoy!

- get out and vote in the 2008 presidential election
With the 2008 presidential election just one week away, I ceratinly hope you have decided which candidate to for for in this crucial election. If you haven’t seen the debates, you must live on the dark side of the moon. There are many issues in this election that may decide the future direction of our country; either to stay the current course and risk repeating our mistakes or to move forward for a more promising future with a better international image.
Here’s one website that will help you decide which candidate better suits your philosophy and possibly help you decide for yourself. One thing is for sure, this campaign has provided us with hours of laughter in the form of both outright political gaffs and loads of politcal humor, like the
Saturday Night Live parodies of Sarah Palin, performed by Tina Fey. Other gems include the John McCain stump speach as he addresses his constituents as ”
My Fellow Prisoners” (Palin’s expression is priceless), was this a chilling flashback from his POW days perhaps? Do we want a guy like this with his shaky finger poised on the button? What was the RNC thinking when they picked these candidates??? If you think things are bad now, and they get in, we’ll need to call Joe the Plumber to unclog their mess. Even for this long time republican, Senator Obama looks better every day.

Economic Depression that is…
- Dow Drops 777 points on Monday
Stocks tumbled Monday as the damage brought on by out of control markets, bubbles, poor regulation, corruption, over-speculation and greed finally take their toll on the New York stock market as well as global markets, bringing on fears of a coming global “
depression era” like we have never seen. The bailout program currently under consideration may or may not help matters. If it does help, it may be only temporary and usher in
more problems down the road. The best bet right now is to hold on tight, grab your favorite cocktail and relax because there’s not much we can do about the mess we’ve made for ourselves. It’s time we ask our government,
are you smarter than a fifth grader? The answer is clearly a resounding NO!
On the bright side, with the housing bubble burst, building materials are at an all time low. Now is the time to convert that dark depressing corner of you basement or living room into a lively room where you can kick back and laugh it off while watching the Daily Show or Glenn Beck (wait, he might be too depressing becuase he really tells it like it is!). It may be a long winter ahead, but you can shorten it up considerable by building your own home bar using our easy do it yourself project plans and by sharing ideas and photos in our builder’s forum community and photo gallery, all included with your low priced lifetime membership.
Cheers! We could be in for a looong ride!

The Three Packer Stooges? In remains to be seen.
Waffeling aside, if your MVP Quarterback wants to return after getting you one play from the SuperBowl, do you:
A: Welcome him back?
B: Make Lame Excuses to Not Welcome him Back?
C: Try to Pay him $20 million to stay retired?
D: Trade him to another Team?
E: None of the Above.
The current Green Bay Packer management has choosen B, C and now appears to be trying option D. This situation is WAY out of control. The general feeling among everyone that we have spoken to is the they have ALL lost any respect for theese three clowns, and when that happens in Green Bay, you might as well GO PACK, your bags! If egos could have been left on the sideline, Brett Favre would be back on the team and all would be well with the world. This fiascon seems to have sent ripples of disruption throughout the entire NFL and even the world. The pieces are all over the floor and the public is going to want to know EXACTLY who caused this mess and why. I doubt the lame excuses we have heard so far will stand up in the court of public opinion. These three stooges need to remember who owns that team! If Roger’s lays an egg on Monday Night Football next week, heads will roll! For more discussion, see the Packer Forum.

I know, I know, we’re ALL sick and tired of the ongoing saga between Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers Management. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Many other player have come back from retirement and if the man wants to play, let him play, after all it’s only football, it’s supposed to be fun, not some serious business decision. Chris Collinsworth said it best “It would have taken me two seconds to decide, and the answer would have been YES! and Thank God!”. If Brett Favre winds up being traded to Tampa Bay or elsewhere, not only it would be a slap in the face to a Packer legend, it would also write in stone the absolute stupidity of the management and coach, who are too single minded to let a Packer legend and best chance for a winning year return for one more shot at a Superbowl.
Thompson & McCarthy
If Brett gets traded, I’d personally love to see him go all the way with whatever team he winds up with sending Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy down the river and responsible for the worst managment decision in Packer history. They both need to be fired!
The August 5th press conference with McCarthy was yet another joke, and it’s obvious he’s not telling us everything. Many websites are calling for their heads. savebrett.net and bringbackbrettfavre.com are two of the biggest.
The only distraction (the Packers excuse for not welcoming Favre back) has been the hoopla they are creating themselves by dragging this out. The fans are getting pissed off! Will rioting in the streets be next?
It’s totally ridiculous and Packer management is fast becoming the biggest joke in the NFL. Yes, it’s only football but they’re killing the local legend name Brett Favre.
