[QUOTE=Cuchulain82]I think grenadine doesn't have alcohol in it- it is pomagranate-flavored sugar water. It is a mixer, and is what makes the "sunrise" in a tequila sunrise.[/QUOTE]
yeah, it's pomegranate syrup. I could have sworn the label on the bottle I was reading said something about it being alcoholic. meh.

Tastes good whatever it is. Mmmm.... I have 12 shots of vodka in me.

My bottles of "Rose's Grenadine" are definately non-alcoholic. Cheap too.

What more do you need?

I never cook off of recipes, nor do I ever measure anything. The odds of me remembering how I make anything is slim, especially stuff like barbeque sauce. I don't think I've ever made it the same way twice. One thing I do remember, though, is rosemary. When making a barbeque sauce for chicken, putting rosemary in it really helps.

Being a university student living away from home, I also don't have anything too decent to work with, except when I steal meat from home when I go visit. I made a prime rib roast a while ago, and somehow the fat on it came out like pork rind. Well, I guess beef rind. I was so happy.

I like screwing around with pancakes, though. My one housemate who moved out left behind this massive tub of pancake mix and said I could use it up. Anyway, because I don't have to worry about actually making the batter myself, I can add stuff to the mess. I put orange zest and juice in once, and put cream cheese on the finished product. Tasty stuff. The banana ones didn't cook quite right, though. They were too dense, or something.

Most recently, I thought I'd try making some sort of caramel-coated apple pieces for the pancakes. Having never made caramel before, it didn't turn out quite right. It didn't even turn brown. Regardless, the sugar and water pretty much stewed the apple, so that I ended up with an apple-flavoured clear, colourless thin syrup with chunks of apple in it. It was a very tasty accident. It tasted like those candy apples you get at fairs. If I had left it to cool, it would have probably gotten rock solid, making some kind of apple brittle or apple candy. Hurray!

I'm the same way with cooking, I throw together whatever is available and see how it comes out. Sometimes it's awesome, and occasionally it gets fed to the dogs. Anyways, I try to at least do so and recall to post it for others here. Otherwise, it confuses people. If you find something that works, try recalling what you put in and how much when you do it next and post it.

[QUOTE=Magrus]Poor poor deprived british person. Grenadine is cherry syrup. Peanut butter cups are little disc candies produced by the Reese's corporation. They are peanut butter on the inside, coated in chocolate. If you can't get either, do you have Marischino cherries, and some peanut butter and chocolate chips? It'd be more expensive but it will work.

Edit: I've never had alcoholic grenadine, just cherry flavored syrup mixer.[/QUOTE]

Poor? I'm not poor I'm loaded.

Awesome. I'll be incapacitated until next month. If you need me, check behind the bar and hand me greasy food to soak up the booze I've been imbibing enough to hold a discussion.

Nope, my lovely tiny friend seen in the upper left of my post, see? All bent over and leaning on me?

Well, I found the cheerleader thing, aha!

I found a new and easy drink mix.

You make a screwdriver, but, you use raspberry vodka instead of normal vodka. It's great! It's kind of like an interesting flavored fruit punch!

Easy drink mix? Easiest and simply greatest one I know of is dark rum and cloudy lemonade

I have no idea why people mix rum and cola, when lemonade perfectly compliments the fruity flavours of rum

Hmmm....never tried rum and lemonade. Vodka and lemonade yes. Good breakfast drink if you aren't into orange juice. I'll have to try that.

How do you normally take rum then? Straight?

For the fruity qualities of rum, while minimizing the alcoholic bite (to a more pleasureable level ) I recommend a fairly simple 1/4 or 1/3 rum, more or less depending on the taste. Make sure you purchase quality cloudy lemonade, it is more flavoursome. Serve in a chilled glass on ice .

If you skimp to about 1/5 or less rum, you can't taste the alcoholic bite at all, it actually tastes like Fanta Fruit Twist... so any unwary girls might find themselves getting very drunk and in your arms very quickly
