BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

The Hell Betty Martini Invention

Hell Betty Jo APPLE Martini Contra-Intervention

Ingredients:
  • One part Ketel One Vodka
  • One part Midori Melon Liqueur
  • One part Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix
Preparation:
  1. Rinse out one Martini glass needing dusting.
  2. Blow dust off one vodka brand and the Midori Liqueur as well.
  3. Pour the liquids into a cocktail shaker filled with ice after making sure no dead bugs in it.
  4. Shake well.
  5. Strain into the prepared glass.
  6. Needing a taste myself, "This ain't too bad!"
  7. Gave it to Mother anyway.
  8. Was suppose to be an apple martini.
  9. Whatever! 
  10. She just wanted something to help her sleep!
  11. Seems always wanting me to make her something alcoholic every time we visit, here in Atlanta or there in Arkansas.
  12. Wonder who makes them for her the other 360 days of the year?

 Three ladies from Arkansas, uninvited hillbillies actually,  believing they were performing an intervention,  when already warned:

"No, no, no! That's not how it works!  It was ... ME ... who told them first I had a drug addiction!  You can't perform an intervention on top of an intervention! It just doesn't work that way!"



 Now what do I do with them while they are here?  Why was it me who had to find them a motel to stay New Years Eve weekend?  Why was it me who had to take them out to eat while they were here?  To a show at Tara Theater Cinema?  Shopping? Etc., etc., etc..  The whole time recoiling from them like Count Dracula would have, having been evicted from his castle broad daylight but worse:  Wasn't evicted but having to deal with them freaking out over the sight of me doing meth just to be sociable while they were here.
  Jesus Fucking Christ hanging around around such three lovely ladies neck; high, high, high,  high on nothing more than a dope on a rope.
An expensive meth addiction made worse dealing with cheap hillbilly's placebo addictions.





You will find a fabulous green drink in this Melon Ball Drop that features Midori melon liqueur. That lovely liqueur is paired with a citrus vodka and an elderflower liqueur, which St. Germain is a great and possibly the only option for most people. So the Melon Ball Drop has a lot of fruitiness and a little herbalness offset by a sweet sugar rim and a melon garnish, all of which combine for a very interesting martini-style drink.


Ingredients:

•2 oz Midori melon liqueur

•1 oz Skyy Infusions Citrus vodka

•1/2 oz elderflower liqueur

•juice of 1/2 lemon

•sugar for rimming

•melon ball for garnish

Preparation:

1.Rim a chilled cocktail glass with sugar.

2.Pour the liquids into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

3.Shake well.

4.Strain into the prepared glass.

5.Garnish with a melon ball.
