Take a large bowl, check the Rose again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again. At this point it's best to make sure the Tequila Rose is still OK, try another cup. Just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the frigging fruit off floor... Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the Tequila Rose to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet. Check the Rose. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. hatever you can find. Greash the oven.

Happy Birthday to Sherrie Davis and Frances Sullivan.

“One day the factory sports coach, who was very strict, pointed at four boys, including me, and ordered us to run in a race. I protested that I was weak and not fit to run, but the coach sent me for a physical examination and the doctor said that I was perfectly well. So I had to run, and when I got started I felt I wanted to win. But I only came in second. That was the way it started.” - Emil Zatopek
