Angel's Brunch

From the "Extra Special" section of the new Folk & Good Cookin' cookbook comes this recipe, which I submitted to the Red Rock cookbook committee IN JEST! and with reference to last year's festival. Imagine my surprise and bemusement on seeing it printed up, right between Jory Nash's burrito and Noah Zacharin's tuna salad. Eww, that sounds gross. Anyway, good luck cooking this up.

Angel's Brunch

Ingredients: Jamieson's Irish Whiskey; Colt Cigar

Get up, Saturday AM, too late for breakfast and too tired for lunch. Stumble out of tent. Stumble back into tent in search of nourishment. Discover remains of 26er of Jamieson's. Open, tilt, swallow, holler "WHOOOO!"

Discover Colt cigar in crumpled pack. Straighten, light, inhale.

Find guitar. (Note: may not be in tent.)

Wander over to main stage, practicing. Play Ian Tamblyn's "The Angel's Share." Explain that it's all about whiskey. The song, that is.

Lather, rinse, repeat!

Thanks for making me laugh out loud! I remember that boozy morning in sunny Red Rock last summer - what a great time! I'm glad it was another excellent year in Red Rock. I missed being there - and missed working with Denise! The volunteers and community there are great and they put on a wonderful festival.

Hopefully there will be many more of those kinds of mornings...

I, too, remember those whiskey soaked mornings. I believe one of them involved you walking up and down every street in Red Rock until you found The Rachel's at Chris and Laurie's house for breakfast. Looking back after a year, I mostly laugh at how silly that morning was and at how shocked I was at the thought of you and Aengus literally looking around the whole of Red Rock for us until you FOUND us. That was the part that freaked me out the most. (Can you tell I'm not a small town gal?)

Wish I could have been at Red Rock this year, too. Hopefully, one day, I'll get back up to that little piece of heaven. Maybe then I will partake in the Angel's Brunch...or, maybe not.

Did you have fun?
