What a flashback! Having been at the firebases along the DMZ, I can relate. We had to trade the ARVNs for rice made in Houston, Tx. All we were issued were the C's. With the instant rice, we could almost make a palatable meal. However, out there, we got to do the burning in the morning, something not easily forgotten. I will now spend the rest of the day some 40 years in the past. Blindog

The only thing Tim forgot was the RC Cola that has to go with the Moon Pie. Blindog

Saveur Food & Wine Chili Pepper--only becuase it usually has something different that catches my attention. Blindog

I have experimented with both vodka and untaxed white whiskey. The best way I have found to get a flavor truly infused into the product is to warm the liquor over a low electric heat( do not use gas as a heat source) and add the desired flavor. At this time of the year, I am using fresh blackberries. I warm the liquor, add the fruit and let it steep for 30 minutes. Pour the mixture into Mason jars and let cool. Seal and let the jars age for three to six months. I've tried this with oranges. limes, blackberries and fresh peaches with equal success. I put a jar in the freezer for an hour before serving.
