One of their traditions at meetings involved the wearing of long white t-shirts. Any time you spilled wine on yourself (or someone spilled wine on you), you had to note the wine and date the stain in permanent marker on the shirt. <br /><br />I'm told the elders of this society looked positively filthy in their ceremonial garb. Regular washing of the t-shirts was encouraged but not any method that would remove the stains or ink.Benitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-78463861926786635412006-08-25T20:55:00.000-07:002006-08-25T20:55:00.000-07:00Thanks for hosting and selecting a great recipe - ...Thanks for hosting and selecting a great recipe - certainly going to keep the details to hand.<br /><br />If anyone would like to host Combinations in the future please drop me an email. <br /><br />Several years ago now when I worked in a wine shop I went to a gathering of shop managers for a tasting. Several spittoons scattered around the floor. During the tasting one guy I knew quite well went for a close up spit... as he returned to his seat noticed he had dunked his tie about an inch into the rather full bucket (white shirt obviously) and as the cries of anguish reverberated managed to knock another guy carefully carrying another bucket to the loo to be emptied. Said bucket went flying over first guys seat, coat and bags.<br /><br />Personally I found the whole event hilarious...Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173791294052288116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-78867563024169370372006-08-25T19:26:00.000-07:002006-08-25T19:26:00.000-07:00Edward,

The...Edward,<br /><br />Thanks for the contribution, mate! <br /><br />The sauce for this challenge is a variation on <a href="http://www.bbq-porch.org/recipes/html/r298.htm">this recipe</a>, which is really quite good. To simplify it for international recipes, it's just:<br /><br />1 part peach or apricot jelly<br />2 parts Bourbon or other whiskey<br />4 parts Dijon mustard <br /><br />I've used this on grilled shrimp, grilled leg of lamb (one of my favorites), and roasted pork tenderloin. It's dead simple, everyone loves it, and the better the ingredients, the better the sauce. Given my geographical location I can generally get farm-made peach jelly and decent Kentucky Bourbon. Though it might be easier to use Jack Daniels, which has a fairly wide distribution, and as a Tennessee boy I certainly approve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-68093713873955748582006-08-25T18:57:00.000-07:002006-08-25T18:57:00.000-07:00Ben,
