Mike&#8217;s Perfect Sangria<\/strong><\/strong><\/font><br \/>\nFrom Commentariat member MJR<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> 1 tablespoon of chopped fruit (this can be any fruit that you wish!)\n<li> 2 oz pineapple juice\n<li> \u00bc oz Monin tiki syrup\n<li> 1 oz margarita mix (\u00bd oz fresh lime juice &#038; \u00bd oz simple syrup)\n<li> 3 oz red wine\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<\/p>\n<p>1. Start with your favourite (MJR is Canadian; they spell funny) wine glass and fill it \u00be full of ice.<\/p>\n<p>2. Take your chopped fruit and add a little or a lot to the glass \u2013 we recommend one tablespoon.<\/p>\n<p>3. Pour the pineapple juice, Monin tiki syrup, margarita mix, and red wine into the wine glass.<\/p>\n<p>4. Stir to combine.<\/p>\n<p>For an added touch, garnish with a wooden skewer so you can eat the soaked fruit once you\u2019ve sipped all the sangria! And last but not least, enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><font size=+2 color=red><strong><strong>2.

We can&#8217;t have you committing a fourth felony for Christmas in addition to your standard daily three. <\/p>\n<p>And finally &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><font size=+2 color=red><strong><strong>4. Claire&#8217;s Decadent Potato Casserole<\/strong><\/strong><\/font><br \/>\nBy Moi<\/p>\n<p>This rich and festive side-dish is still legal everywhere even for children (!), though no doubt there are millions of Nutrition Nazis who itch to deprive us all of its pleasures.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing healthy and nothing gourmet about this dish. It&#8217;s humble and working class. All it&#8217;s got in its favor is that you might want to put your face down in it and suck it right out of the casserole; it&#8217;s that good.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8 large potatoes or 12 medium ones\n<li>1\/2 cup melted butter\n<li>1 can Campbell&#8217;s cream of chicken soup, undiluted  (see what I mean about working class?)\n<li>1 pint sour cream\n<li>1\/2 cup or slightly more of chopped green onions\n<\/ul>\n<p>Boil the potatoes in their skins until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool<\/p>\n<p>Mix melted butter, undiluted soup, and sour cream in a bowl<\/p>\n<p>Peel the cooked potatoes with a knife<\/p>\n<p>Grate 1\/2 of potatoes into a 9 x 13 pyrex dish.<\/p>\n<p>Top with 1\/2 the soup mixture, then with 1\/2 the green onions.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat.<\/p>\n<p>Top lightly with anything you have that&#8217;s tasty and crunchy. I use Italian seasoned bread crumbs, but you could also use crumbled cereal, corn meal, crushed croutons, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes or so.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><font color=red size=+1><strong><strong>The first two recipes<\/strong><\/strong><\/font> are for you if your version of holiday decadence involves <font size=+1 color=purple>Demon Liquor<\/font>. <\/p>\n<p><font color=green size=+1><strong><strong>The third recipe<\/strong><\/strong><\/font> is if your preference is for <font size=+1 color=purple>Demon Weed<\/font>. <\/p>\n<p><font color=red size=+1><strong><strong>The fourth recipe<\/strong><\/strong><\/font> (a familiar dish to longtime blog readers) merely involves <font size=+1 color=purple>Demon Calories<\/font>, forbidden white foods, and fats.<\/p>\n<p>And BTW, these aren&#8217;t just girlie recipes.
