Sad SLB Towers / Skating / Jacquin's Peppermint Schnapps Liqueur

Steph sent us the link to her new Picasa album... I guess it works better than Sony ImageStation for her! There were some pictures from yesterday, so I'll share a few of them now.

Alan (driver), Jeremy (waving to Steph), me (Santa hat), Jon, and Liz all stuffed into the rental Toyota Yaris after dinner at Shanghai Wind:




Man, that Yaris is one compact car! (Shanghai Wind has the yellow sign in the background)




Dylan, Jon, and Liz are the resident triplets since they're all wearing blue!




Jeremy and the saddest SLB tower ever:




Alan being totally useless and creating catastrophe:



Jon sent a bunch of us an email announcing that he and Dallas are going skating tomorrow at Britannica. Sorry, but freezing my butt off in a skating rink is not my thing! Steph thinks that nobody should reply because Jon and Dallas should have a romantic time together alone (hehe), while Christon added a note about Jon and Dallas having dinner together beforehand. If any of us are interested, we should give him a call. I'm not so sure about that, heh.

Jacquin's Peppermint Schnapps Liqueur

Here's a liqueur that's simple to make at home. All you need is inexpensive vodka and an empty bottle to store the Schnapps in. This is another recipe that was created for More Top Secret Recipes, but just didn't make it into the final version. Try storing it in the freezer for a cold shot on a hot summer day. Woof!

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 16-oz. bottle light corn syrup
2 cups 80-proof vodka
2 teaspoons peppermint extract

1. Combine sugar and corn syrup in a 2 quart pan over medium heat. Heat until sugar dissolves, stirring regularly (about 5 minutes).
2. When sugar has dissolved, add vodka and stir well. Remove mixture from heat and cover tightly with lid. Let cool.
3. Add peppermint extract to mixture and pour into a sealable bottle. Makes 4 cups.
