Month: April 2010

Phil demonstrated drinking tequila with sangrita as well as “tequila on the rocks.” And he recited the age old, much protected and secret Yucca recipe….the margarita with the psilocybin kick……

Yes, tonight is the night you stop seeing tequila as a necessary evil one must endure to prove to friends one can “man up, dog.” Tonight is the night you learn tequila does not have to be eyed as an irrigant or snail-killer or bleach. Tonight you learn to drink tequila as the people who created it drink it….like civilized human beings who…incredibly…like the taste of the stuff! Join Phil, in studio, tonight at 6 pm PDT, 9pm EDT.Click “Watch Live” or “Listen Live.” (Both basically the same thing)

Q: Phil, do you think you’ll be so drunk you just keep right on going for longer than an hour tonight and also start playing gospel tunes?

A: Not if I don’t get off my can right now and head for sangrita..no.

I’m heading down to the latin market……….for Sangrita….I’ll take pictures (yeah, sure…no I will…sort of…maybe) If you care to join us this evening as a participant…not as a student….I suggest a bottle of your favorite blanco or silver and a bottle of your favorite anejo. As you know, I favor Don Julio but Patron or Cabo Wabo are also Phil Hendrie Show-endorsed brands. No, we’re not going to drink both bottles and then see if we can stand up. We may alternate for taste. Also…and this is a must…you’ll need a bottle of sangrita. Get off your ass now and locate a store that sells it. If not, you’ll have to make it and that’s not a good option unless you’ve made it before. You’ll want ice, a cocktail glass (short, old-fashioned kind) and a shot glass. There are actual tequila shot glasses. They are slightly thinner and higher and (believe it or not) balanced to avoid spills. However, a regular shot glass will do so long as it isn’t one of those souvenir shot glasses that are extra-teeny with an asinine picture of the Carlsbad Caverns on the side. Later for that. We will be learning two kinds of imbibing this evening. Nothing fancy but you always need options and what I’ll show you allows you to enjoy tequila more fully…while your brother-in-law, who should never have been served the stuff in the first place, chases imaginary animals in your backyard.

Sangrita!!

 

…but….it does bear considering and embracing. As the tide of war turned against the Japanese in the Pacific, in the  Philippines they herded American prisoners of war into an air raid ditch, doused them with avaiation fuel and set them on fire. But that’s not the point of the story. The point is, unlike in our society, where we would prosecute individuals who did such things, Japanese society gave blessing to these actions because to them the military code treating surrendering prisoners as less than human was  absolutely correct. A society like that does not deserve any further life.  A lot of crack-wipes and ass-gunners today don’t get that. We are superior because we constantly strive to codify decency and humanity.  Savvy that, law dog?
