SarahJo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Anyway ... back to the "pink" thingy ..... have just been out with the boys, and saw the pinkest MINI in the world. Same colour (shade) as the Limo, Imogen, so I immediately thought of you. Ben and Joe on the other hand thought "Barbie". . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hubby worked in the Caribbean for 3 years, so I spent many happy summer holidays in Barbados: I did the "Mount Gay rum tour" 3 times, but could only ever remember the first 20 minutes of each time!! You have to have a deep sea diver cocktail with your rum: Its the BEST Bajan cocktail..... Ingredients 4 oz Rum 3/4 oz Triple Sec 1/2 tsp caster Sugar 1/4 oz Lime Syrup 1 oz Lime Juice Mixing Instruction Shake well over crushed ice in a shaker, and strain into a large highball glass over crushed ice. Add cherry!! Yee ha! Sorry its not pink.... alternatively, make a bread pudding and pour some over it before eating...delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yum Yum, all these food / drink suggestions are making me quite hungry (not as hungry as the thought of a chocolate fountain - VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY envious of that one Make sure you tell us when your party is so that we can have a virtual party - I will be stationed by the computer with my pink gin in hand!!!

Louise Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks for the recipe Annie I will have to try that one - maybe wait till the weekend. Oh dear poor Imogen not only have we nicked her thread we couldn't even keep it alcohol free as requested - sorry Imogen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Grenadine is non-alcoholic pomegranite juice, I'm pretty sure of that because I've got some at home. It's a reddish colour but when diluted it does look pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Sarahjo did her best to get us back on track! I'd have loved a pink mini. My first car was a Mini Sprite called Primrose, because it was a lovely shade of yellow. Pink is definalty best though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The Honda Jazz comes in a lovely shade of pale pink. I was quite tempted when I bought a car last year, but thought it was a bit too girly to buy a car based on it's colour. What hubby didn't realise was that I was more tempted by the fact that he'd be unlikely to want to drive a pretty pink car . Went for a silver, slightly more sensible number. But that pink limo is something else. I bet you'll see heads swivelling as you drive past in that. White ones are almost commonplace now, but pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Will you lot BEHAVE . Right ... just had a thought, Imogen. ICE CREAM SODA's ...... Strawberry ice-cream in a tall glass, with some fresh strawbs and top up with lemonade, watch out though as it froths up, so much undignified slurping required (the best bit in my book). Another idea would be Raspberry ripple ice-cream, with fresh rasps, and top up with cherryade ... both PINK, non-alcoholic (unless using a dash of some fruit based liquer) and very yummy in my book .. which may count for nothing.

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Very sorry miss Will try not to misbehave again (yeah, right that's going to happen!) Imogen, dont forget to tell us when you are having your party so we can join in virtually - much better than having to invite all us strange people with obsessions about alcahol, chocolate and big pants..............

SarahJo Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Alcohol, choc, big pants ... and ice-cream soda's. Wonder what a champagne soda is like , the only fizzy and alcoholic stuff in the fridge at the moment. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 How did big pants sneak into this? Pink ones I hope? Poor Imogen is only going to be 16, I thought she was planning pink limo, pink food & drink, denim skirt & pink stilletoes (see, I do read the postings ) I don't think we need to dictate big pants too Only joking, but Imogen'll be wondering what on earth she's started. I'm game on for a simultaneous virtual party- I'll even raise a pink drink to toast her (rose wine, anyone?), especially if Murdo can be coaxed into providing virtual pizzas- too much work making my virtual canapes last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Wonder what a champagne soda is like. Would that be called a Champagne Supersoda (aka Champagne Supernova - whatever one of those are! Maybe Imogen can help me out here on that Oasis number) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imogen Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Wow! What a lot of posts!! Sorry for not replying, been at a spa for a few days hehehe Had a lovely manicure - pink nails now, naturally. Honestly, with all these gorgeous drink suggestions, me and my friends won't have time to finish them by the time the limo arrives!! On the subject of songs, I think I'm getting that under control!! I'll make up some compilation CD's, with classic hits, such as Ladies Night and Girls Just Want To Have Fun, as well as the old Red Hot Chili Pepper hits!! And Green Day....and some rave stuff because that's the BEST to listen to in limos....well, there'll be a wide range of music anyway!! Who ever mentioned big pants? That was rather spontaneous. Some of my lesser girly friends said they would only go as far as wearing pink underwear for my party, but I assured them that pink clothing MUST be visable!! I don't know what ever happened to keeping this post non-alcoholic, but never mind!! It took me a while to find a pink drink that wasn't alcoholic after pink vodka, pink rum and pink champagne...however, you've given me lots of good ideas, and I think I should definately do a milkshake of some kind and a non-alcoholic cocktail because some of my friends don't like champagne. And I'll try and get those pink glasses from Sainsbury's, so if anyone's boring and doesn't want a pink drink, they can at least have it out of a pink glass!!

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Were you really at a spa Imogen. I am SO jealous - you are 16, go to spas and are having a chocolate fountain for your birthday. sigh... I saw a BRIGHT PINK cadillac when I was out and about today and thought of you! There is also a feature in our local paper (there's not much happening in deepest darkest dorset) about chocolate fountains and there is a local supplier - whoo hooo!!! Sorry we kept on getting sidetracked. Its what happens when you get old, drink too much and wear big pants (and then they are probably only pink because you put them in the wrong wash............... ) Have a FABULOUS party - I will raise a glass to you!!!!!

Imogen Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yup!! Just two small corrections - I am 15 (almost 16), I do go to spas and I hate to say it but it was lovely, and sadly I'm not having a chocolate fountain, but hopefully a chocolate fondu!!!!

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well a chocoloate fondu is NEARLY as good as a fountain - have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 as well as the old Red Hot Chili Pepper hits!!! Ooohhh, Imogen, I used to be a massive RHCP fan when I was about 19 - (that was about 14 years ago ) I was at Art College at the time, and the Chillies in those days were a bit 'funky punky' (Albums - Mothers Milk, Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Freaky Styley (my fave) etc etc) At the time they were only very small in the UK, and I saw them a few times in some clubs in Birmingham, and you could quite literally reach out and shake hands with them, the venues were so small and intimate I would glady have done you a compliation, but they are all on vinyl - (records).... I'm going to get them out today and have a blast from the past. I might also invest in some of their later stuff, as the last album I bought was Blood Suger Sex Magic, (about 1990 I think). What do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imogen Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 OMG!!! Gina you are SO lucky!! I saw them in Hyde Park and it was AMAZING! I totally loved it and can't wait to see them again - but to be that close to them, I might just faint! By The Way is a good album, but of course the Live in Hyde Park is a good album because it reminds me of the great time I had there, and you get all their hits on it!!
