This is some really GOOOOD PUNCH try this recipe. Good Holiday Punch too!

Basilisk's Trinidad Punch*
(drinks for the tropics or warm summer evenings)

Version One: Try this first

Input:

A bottle of the best Trinidad ("Old Oak") or Barbados ("Mount Gay") gold Rum (Barcardi Gold will do at a pinch, do not use white rum (no flavour) or Jamaica Rum (too much flavour)).
Sugar syrup (or, if you can't find it, dissolve as much white sugar in a small glass of hot water as you possibly can, then let it cool. It should be quite viscous when you've dissolved enough. It keeps for weeks)
The freshly squeezed juice of one large juicy Mandarine (Tangerine)
The freshly squeezed juice of half a large Lime (must be fresh, not Lime cordial)
Angostura Bitters
Crushed ice
Large glass
Process:

Pour yourself a generous serve of the Rum, add one nip of the sugar syrup (or more to taste), squeeze the Lime and the Mandarine (Tangerine) into the mix, add a few dashes of Angostura Bitters, stir, add the ice.

Instructions:

Sip slowly.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Version 2: Susan's special (dynamite!)

Inputs:

Large glass
two fingers of Trinidad or Barbados gold Rum
one finger of Grand Marnier
one finger of Cointreau
the freshly squeezed juice of half a large lime
a generous dash of Angostura Bitters
half a glass of crushed ice
top up with the freshly squeezed juice of a large Mandarine (Tangerine) or Orange
Instructions:

Sip very slowly.

Caution: Drink one of these too quickly, you'll start to get tunnel vision. Knock back two, and all you'll see (for a short while) is the underneath of the table.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Outputs:

On a balmy summer evening, or in the shade of the coconut palms, total Bliss!



------------------------

Liability: No liability is accepted for any consequences of trying the above. Do so entirely at your own risk!

How about a macaroni pie recipe?

[Pondadat]

How about a macaroni pie recipe?

Ingredients

1 pack macaroni
salt, white pepper to taste
3 eggs, beaten
cheese, grated
flour
evaporated milk
stock ( from bouillon cube, if fresh is not available)
butter

Method

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

1) Bring a lage pot of salted water to the boil and add macaroni. Boil until " al dente" and strain in a sieve
with running cold water ( this will stop the macaroni from continuing to cook and getting too soft )

2) Grease an ovenproof baking dish

3) Prepare a white sauce by melting about 2-3 tablesps. butter in a saucepan, adding 2 tablesps. flour until the
mixture forms into a ball
( do not let it get brown). Now quickly add alternatively, evaporated milk and prepared stock until it forms a
smooth white sauce. Add a little salt and white pepper to taste and the grated cheese ( the amount of cheese
varies to your taste)

4) Put macaroni into the prepared baking dish, pour white sauce over it and top with more grated cheese.
Bake in pre-heated oven for about 40 mins, or until light brown on top.
