Blush not: also, good things

Emulating the fellows in Gang Star, I strive to be a congratulator, not a hater. Like James Todd Smith said. I do not want to be one of those knuckleheads with an epitaph along the lines of "I hated LL and I carried a big knife." DI/DO is breathing on my neck, but there is unfinished business. First of all, the Tabasco caddy. Who does not need this? Also, there could be no better present to send to the wedding you are not invited to. It is hella cheap, is something the lovebirds will not buy or get otherwise, and they will think of you every time they use it. My folks are pushing up on that golden number, and there are still utensils back at the hatchery that are identified by their donors back in '59.  I am ordering three. And I am totally with Mr. Badthings on putting Hugo's on the itinerary for the Sumer of Illiquidity Tour '05, even if the premise of the article... never mind--suffice it to say that you could make this dish in less than 173 hours if you do not wait for one process to end before starting the other--if you have ever toasted the bun for a cheeseburger while you wait for it to finish toasting,  you should be able to suss it out.  Also, I am man enough to congratulate Toby Cecchini for getting to the bottom of the thing with the maraschino cherries. Anyone old enough for a learner's permit has wondered what these red things are supposed to be, and I look forward to experimenting with this idea, perhaps with some variations thrown in from those cherry bounce receipts from southern Jr. League cookbooks. (To summarize: take some cherries, put them in bourbon, wait some.) I had a variety in FLA recently that was promising. Also good, the DC Divas. Good  name, but sadly, the logo appears to be a USFL  handmedown.
