"I'll Have A Little Green, Please"
"i had a drink yesterday, it was green, and i'd like it again."
the worker knew what i was talking about and he gave me, not only the history of the drink, but the ingredients. a bartender used to work there and had modified a grasshopper into what they call the crunchy cricket (you were right bryant, a large is in the mail for you), substituting the vodka with chocolate covered espresso beans. he also listed "sugars (more then one!), dairy, and green" as the other items that are blended together in the drink. which was hilarious because i say the same thing about soft-serve ice cream, it doesn't taste like chocolate, it tastes like brown. this stems from a few summers ago when i was visiting my sister in illinois. we went out with her friends to the custard joint. i got chocolate and strawberry, which influenced my brother-in-law's decision for strawberry. after we started eating, eric was all bitching and moaning about how bad the strawberry was blaming me for making him get it. the conversation turned to how the custard place was actually making the custard when the suggestion was made that the store was really just dumping sacks of paint pigment into the vats of custard. pink, brown, yellow...green!

i'll have some green to drink, some pink for my meal, and some brown for desert. it's true...the only way to eat custard is to go for vanilla (or "white") and add stuff like m & m's or heath bar pieces.
yesterday for dinner i had orange, green, and orange. i would have had some brown for desert, but i left it at karen's.
