So We're Not Exactly Girl Scouts
Sometimes a girl just gets so cranky and angst-ridden, she needs an emergency administration of both chocolate and alcohol. If you don't have Kahlua and ice cream , you will have to rummage through the cupboard and just make do. If you're lucky, you may hit upon an amazing combo.
This is a drink I am dubbing The Girl Scout. It will bring you great comfort when the hormones are raging. Men, you can also enjoy this beverage, although I wouldn't recommend drinking it in front of the guys. Experience the magic of reverting back to childhood, while simultaneously getting hammered.
The Girl Scout
1 cup milk
1 1/2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
1 ounce peppermint schnapps
Stir together. Keep the cat away from it.* Relax and unclench your fists.

*No cats actually drank any alcohol in the making of this blog. Don't get your cat stoned either. It's very dangerous and so, so wrong.

That sounds amazing Elise! Kind of like chocolate mints with a buzz.
Cats always get a contact high. No need to get them stoned.
If any laists are going to be in the area of Plummer Park in Weho tomorrow any time from 1-4pm. Look for "The Progressives Pic-nic". I'll be making a pot of Vegan Sausage Jambalaya. All are welcome.

Thanks for the heads-up! I make a pretty mean vegan gumbo - strange how cajun food lends itself to that style of cooking.
It surprised me how much this drink tasted like Thin Mint Cookies. maybe next I'll replicate Samoas with caramel and coconut liquer...

Not so strange, spicy 'po folks' food, plus the whole Catholic lentin thing.
Do you know what the African word for "gumbo" means?

Okra!
Here's one - you know where the word Zydeco comes from?

Excellent!
Nope on zydeco.

Many of the songs were about cooking your beans, or not letting your beans burn (Listen to Professor Longhair if you don't believe there are entire songs about beans).
Z' Haricot = Zydeco!
That is one of my favorite etymologies!
Sorry, we got a little off-topic there.
...We will now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Kind of gives a new meaning to that old poem about beans being musical.
