Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots to get the party started. Now, a Bishop. Chilled red wine, orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup in an ice-filled wine glass. Yummy!

Exhausted after a pretty good day in clinic. Ready to hit the weekend.

I love you all…

1. A bishop, huh?

When is the last time you spoke with any member of the clergy?

[Aristus]

3. At least ten years.

When my wife’s church went full MAGA, and we both left in disgust. My wife, a former conservative Christian and Republican, is now an atheist and a liberal Democrat.

The associate pastor at her church left the same time we did. We bumped into him at the mall the other day. He gave up the life of the clergy, and now works as a stock broker.

5. You think it's likely

that the former pastor turned stockbroker advises his clients to invest in Goldrush Resources Ltd.?

They use the ticker GOD.

[Aristus]

6. Couldn't say.

Probably not.

[surfered]

2. Cheers 🍷

[Aristus]

4. And to you!

7. Did you get Christmas cookies this year?

Did you get your favorite? What was it?

Happy New Year!

[Aristus]

8. My mother's bachelor buttons.

Yummy.

9. And we love you back. Soooo, a chilld version of hot mulled wine?

Glad it was a good day at the clinic.

[Aristus]

11. I hadn't thought about that.

Somewhere in the pantry, I have a packet of mulled wine mix I got as a white elephant gift about a thousand years ago. I suppose I should try it sometime.

[niyad]

12. Yes, you should. Mulled wine on a cold, snowy evening!

[Aristus]

13. I would add: and someone to share it with.

But Mrs. Aristus doesn’t drink.

Oh well; more for me!

[niyad]

14. You can do mulled cider for her, share that way.

[Wolf Frankula]

10. Do you pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?

Would you drink English Barleywine?

[CTyankee]

15. I had a decent Pinot Grigio at dinner tonight. Dunno the brand as I am in a retirement village and eat in a dining room

with no wine list. But the server has several offerings each night. That, and the ice cream choices for dessert keep me going here and looking forward to our evening meal together.

[Aristus]

16. Sounds good!

I like a Pinot Grigio with a dry, tart bite to it; a little tang. Keeps you alert when you're dining.

[CTyankee]

17. I used to drink Merlot with dinner but I do like the Pinot Grigio. I might have the Merlot with red meat based meals and

drink the Pinot Grigio with lighter fare (chicken and fish). What do you think?

[Aristus]

18. Excellent choice, madame...
