MiTEG's Journal: Oh oh ohhh

So I get a "transfer admit day" email from UCSD and think, damn, I better check my transfer status. Click click badda bing, I'm in! w00t! No more putt putting around bs CC classes! Man, I would have been pissed if it had been a rejection... It's a 10 minute walk to UCSD and 25 minuted drive to state.

Let all the other slackers out there learn from this, I'm just about the biggest slacker out there. WE're talking I wrote the application essay at 11:30 pm when the deadline was midnight, no bs.

And the best part is I have a a four month summer break. Sure beats last summer when I got out late June and started early August.

So tonight we shall celebrate. I've got soem sangria in the fridge and believe I have perfected the recipe to my taste, too bad it's a bit too early to start. For those interested, here it is:

Sangria
1 750 mL red wine
2 cups rum
1 orange, peeled and sliced
1 lime, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
3/4 cup strawberries, sliced
3/4 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar

Mix it all together and stuff, then let it sit in the fridge for a while. Drink away! Serves 2. I'ts become a weekly tradition here.

Sangria

Didn't exactly understand why you're partying, but the sangria is interesting. Looks very simple, so maybe I'll try doing that too.
Interesting also that you measured the red wine in milliliters, since it's metric and you're from usa, no? Anyway, I'll put that in my recipes folder.

Recipe questions

[Idlechat]

After looking in the recipe..
it includes putting 4 types of sliced fruits. Not crushed or milled. So what happens to them after you put them? It's kinda weird to have slices of fruit in your drink.. I bought sangria once and I don't recall having slices in them.

Yup, from the US, but in my experience the wine sold in gallons not drinkable. The standard bottle size for the good stuff is 750 mL and I can't be bothered to convert to oz.

Just leave the fruit in. You can leave it in the pitcher or pour it into the cups and munch after you're done drinking.

If you try it, be careful, it tastes lighter but ends up being more alcoholic than wine. Yum yum!
