Sunday, November 22, 2009 - Festive Beverage Suggestion
Miss Dog Lover has developed a festive, somewhat non-traditional beverage just in time for you to be able to serve it to your guests at Thanksgiving Dinner. That is, if you are bold enough to be first.
Last evening at snack time I walked in the kitchen to hear the iced tea she was pouring for herself making odd, non iced tea, sounds. I asked what she was doing and of course she said, "Just getting some tea." Hmmm.
My maternal instincts went immediately to red alert. I took a closer look and listen and noticed the empty poprocks packet.
The somewhat noisy and unpredictable combination of iced Mandarin Orange Celestial Seasonings and Strawberry Poprocks was such a hit Miss Dog Lover chugged it and made herself a second.
Let me know how it goes over with your guests if you give it a go. Me? I'm wondering how it would work to add poprocks into the stuffing of the big bird before baking. Could be an explosively good Thanksgiving at our place.
I had to Google it because I've never seen pop rocks in Oz. I think the closest we get to it here is a powder called FizzWizz which Wikapedia tells me is made by the same company.
