Thanks for the recipe! I didn't even know it was a drink. I filed it
and I'll give it a try.

Perfect!

How fitting, and they don't even know about rec.music.gaffa!

Interesting...um..have you heard Happy's first 4 albums? I wondered
if you felt the same way about some of those songs, many of which
are exactly how you describe Tori's songs. In a way though, I do
understand what you mean. I still skip "Me and A Gun" more often
than not.

Same here!
