Post by: Cramulus on November 29, 2010, 03:11:59 AM
What are you spags doing for Moosemas 2010?

Is anybody else celebrating this wonderful Erisian Christmas holiday thing?



I'm celebrating on Dec 19th. Anybody who wants to come is invited, but be warned - party starts early! we serve moosemosas at 10 AM. and waffles!

Oooh... that is a super-hardcore "maybe". My finals should be all over by then, and it's just early enough before Christmas that my family won't punch me in the face.

so my odds are looking like 60-75% right now

Yeah, but that movie is guranteed to suck so you might as well skip it and proceed directly to Moosemas.

I believe I will make a gallon of Caribou and get Mooseblasted with whatever buddies are around.

Incidentally:

Caribou- a fortified wine drink attributed to the Quebecois.  Consisting of:

1 gallon strong red wine (burgundy or similar)
1 fifth (750 ml) Canadian whiskey
Maple syrup

Mix, (exact portions currently under research), and let settle for a week to a month.

I'll spend that weekend boozing with some friends near a (probably frozen) lake in Friesland, as well as doing the Sinterklaas presents thing (which is officially Dec 5th, but nobody minds).

I definitely have to moose it up that weekend!

Come to think of it, if the weather keeps freezing like this, I'm going to have to bring my iceskates! :mrgreen: SWEEEET I LOVE ICESKATING :D :D Especially on natural ice, it's the best. Scenery, white, grey, coldness, gigantic open space ...

okay

my friends have been talking about this for two days now and we need you to settle something

Is this for real?

We suspect this is actually a joke about the Quebecois and not something people would really drink. It makes much more sense as a joke!

Do you spags actually drink that concoction?? if so - what's it like?

I can see the sweet canadian whiskey and a rich burgundy coming together, if you use the wine as a fucked up vermouth in the style of an Old Fashioned, with a touch of maple to take the place of the simple syrup.

I still wouldn't drink it, though.

I've drank it before, it is definitely legit.  If you like Glug, liek Rat mentioned, Sangria, or other heavy sweetened drinks, you may like this stuff.  Personally, I love it.  

Our buddy from fencing, Enzo, made a gallon of it a month ago.  He needed the jug to start another homebrew experiment so we had to drain it.  That was a fun night.  His was made with leftover sangria wine, and still had a few grapes in it.

I still haven't found a really exact recipe, online sources are few.  Kind of thinking 3 parts wine, 1 part whiskey, 1/2 cup REAL maple syrup.

Edit: The proportions are correct for wine and whiskey.  REAL syrup is required, don't even try the fake shiz.  As far as syrup to wine+whiskey, you want about 1/2 to a full cup for every gallon of finished drink roughly.  Adjust to taste.  Serve cold out of a snowbank.

Is Herbert aware of this? If so, tell him to have that fat blonde airhead over. It's high time she meets us.

ALL OF US.


Also: The Tack™, and other ornaments, will be reclaimed by the Sovereign Princess, formerly of the Suucasa Keep, now known as the Monastery, in a ritual that should involve a pineapple.

anybody else making egg nog?

We make a ton of this stuff so we like the simple recipes, the ones that don't require lots of heating and then chilling it overnight or whatever.

Here's our typical nog:
(and truth be told we usually just use rum instead of rum and brandy)

Eggnog

6 eggs
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup brandy
1/3 cup dark rum (Captain Morgan for best flavor, but Myers is fine)
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups milk
All liquids should be very cold. Refrigerate in advance.

Beat the eggs for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed until very frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Turn the mixer off and stir in the cold brandy, rum, whipping cream and milk Chill before serving. Sprinkle individual servings with more nutmeg.

Makes about 2-1/2 quarts.

check in:

end of moosemas day, dec 19 2010 -

started drinking at 10 AM today
had last beer @ 12:50 AM. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

best day ever

we discovered that if you pour funfetti cake mix into a waffle iron, you get a waffle with the consistency / flavor of cupcake

made us wonder what else you can cook in a waffle iron -- ground beef?

decorations included the first 50 images I printed from the google image searches "Moose", "Moosemas", "Moose cartoon", and "Moose comic". Some ridiculous stuff.

so many delicious things were consumed today

bagels & coffee
mimoosas
sparkling bubbles (champagne + sparkling cider)
moosenog from scratch
hot mulled cider
waffles from scratch
waffles from cupcake stuff
coffee cake
cheese and crackers
great beers and vodkas and rums and brandies
bloody mooseys
chinese food

biggest moosemas ever this year - easily 30 or 40 people over the course of the day. They came in waves.

we were visited by jolly old st. nicklemoose

cainad gave me a set of diabetic socks  :argh!:

for some reason people began throwing the principia discordia at each other's faces. One guy got cut a little. He bled in the name of Eris.

it was a moosemas miracle!


a great time was had by all

Providence Saturday Moosemas was success.

Leln, Suu, GS, EOC, and D the Fencer attended.
I had all these games and ideas ready to go, but everyone was cool with drinks, BS, and harassing movies. (Un Chien Andalou, Zardoz, The Hobbit, 13th Warrior)  We also had to tree-scavenge for "The Tack", which was photographed for ransom purposes, and sent with Suu.  The HORRIBLE HOLIDAY ARMADILLO of discord is now in circulation too.

Leln brought homemade fruitcake.  REAL fruitcake.  Compressed fruit soaked in rum for 6 months, soaked in rum and garnished with rum. 
Everyone else brought beer, which we tore into after having a sacremental belt of caribou. 

Many hours of booze and lampooning flicks later we staggered out for a buttload of italian food, and called it a night.
