Friday night — SURPRISE PARTY!! Butts.. slushies... jello shooters..

greetings friends!


brandi’s Mom turned 60 — so we’re throwing a surprise party Friday (tomorrow night at the time of this writing)...

Got three butts in. Pics will come... but first!!

@YukonRon introduced us to these at butt blast. As promised... 

the bourbon slushie...

I really messed it up when I dropped it after putting in the sugar water. And it’s a Double batch. So we didn’t want to miss any of the bourbon. So we put an entire handle of beam in there....

Our kitchen smells like a distillery now...

... it’s marvelous!

more pics otw!
cheers!

    Did you lose the whole bag, or could you save some?

    Although it will not freeze entirely, remember to leave a little extra room in the bags for expansion. 
    Happy Birthday to Brandi's Mom, and remember, be, where you are going to be, for a while, when you enjoy the slushies.
    Have fun, be safe.

    A perfect day. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, please drop by. If nothing else to compliment my azalea planting skills!

    Thanks man!! We left a bit of airless empty space in
     there - sealed without a vacuum. That pic is a double
    batch, because I just started dumping ingredients without listening to brandi. ;p

    Chamber sealer?
    Just a regular food saver. Used the no vacuum
    mode!  But.... I DO need a good chamber sealer!

    some butt pics and jello shooters coming up
    my friends!

    @thetrim - all the water you need in those "light beer" containers.
    Regardless, looks like a great time will/is being had.  Hopefully recovery for Saturday-the beverage locker may be in great shape and ready to go.
