Ah yes, Memorial Day weekend. Last year, I attempted to make a "bullet" blended frozen beverage for all of my friends at a backyard BBQ bash. Allow me to explain. You know those popsicles that are red, white and blue-- most commonly from an ice cream truck or the grocery store? They are often called bullets- probably due to their shape and the association of guns with patriotism in the US of A. Back to my drink... I got three blenders. I made frozen pina coladas in two and strawberry daiquiri in one. I also brought blue food dye to add to the second pina colada, to create one white, one blue and one red beverage. Then I used clear plastic cups, and poured in the frozen drinks in layers, as to re-create the "bullet" popsicle appearance.
Long story short, I failed. The drinks pretty much came out purple. In my mind, this drink was going to work out perfectly. The taste, however, was a success. I believe this drink is actually known as a Miami Vice-- pina colada & daiquiri together. Not a bad combination, especially if you're wearing an open Hawaiian shirt.
I need to come up with something sweet to add to tomorrow's BBQ. I also really wish I had been spending my time brusing up on my 4-square skills, as the last time I played was probably last year's BBQ. How am I suppose to dominate? I'll play hard. That's for sure. In it to win it.
Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!

Denim vest? Really, Mark?? Haha juuuust kidding. You should make taffy apple salad. Cut up snickers bars & apples into little bits, mixed with a 50/50 cream cheese/cool whip mix. It's yummy stuff. You could always add red and blue food coloring, to stick with your purple theme =P tee hee have fun!
you should try and market the bullet popsical drink idea... once you get it right.
Actually, the bar I work at has a BombPop/"bullet" shot that amazingly enough tastes just like the real thing...
you put a little shot of grenadine at the bottom, pour a layer of lemonade into the glass and top it off with UV Blue raspberry vodka. If done correctly, the layers will stay seperate for presentation.
char-grilled hot dogs are the best kind of hot dog.
