OK, now I'm on Mai-Tai #16 (since noon or so). Here's a shot of #16 with the Italian Lime squisher and the ingredients. Thanks to BK for the Goslings recommendation - AWESOME!!! (good thing I have a case of St.James and Goslings in the pantry huh?).
Thanks to the Lovely Joelle, we have a huge patch of fresh mint in the front garden, and I still have 2 pineapples left (though the supermarkets were out today). Just restocked on limes in case Ivan shows up, so I got over 100 limes ready for sacrifice. I guess I can use the Dole canned pineapple if I run out of fresh, but it just isn't the same.
Have the Blue Hawaiians "Sway" on full volume, now truly pissing off my cowboy wannabe neighbors (TAKE THAT YA BASTADS!!!!)
Got an invite to a party tomorrow to celebrate either the end of the world or Hurricane Ivan, or someone's birthday or something ... they said I should bring rum (huh - that's the problem when everyone knows you've stocked up).
Those are part of my Mai-Kai mugs up on the shelf there. Joelle says I shouldn't get more since we've got them stacked everywhere here at the house. I keep telling her I'm waiting for the right time to sell them back to Kern!
And people ask what the lure of the "Tiki Culture" is?!?!?! HA!
Cheers! Mai-Tai #16

I hate trying to post a pic when I've been drinking. Hanford needs to do something to simplify the image link  just finished nubmer 16 and am eyeing number 17. my lips are just a BIT numb, so I think I'm OK so far. The question is, if I squeeze out a blender full of Fiji Kava, and THEN do Mai-Tai #17 what might the results be ...
stay tuned!
Cheers!

Cybertiki's next post:
"I'm not as think as you drunk I am!"
Hic. Hic.
Seriously though, as you get painlessly numb, do be careful if Ivan comes knocking.
By that of course I mean protect those fragile mugs! Oh and yourself too!
Good Luck

It takes ***slightly*** more than 17 to knock me over (sadly). Irish constitution don't you know. Kava's OK, but I have to avoid the more potent painkillers that I have here at the house - those are the one's that knock me over (witness the Hawaiian Inn incident).
I got thru about 2 cups of Kava, fresh from New Caledonia last week (the Fijiian is just too strong), blended for about 5 minutes with coconut milk and lecithin, then pressed thru cloth. It required another Mai-Tai to get the taste out of my mouth. Now both my lips and nose are numb. I should probably eat something, so I put some potatoes in the oven - sheesh! hHope I remembver to take them out!
Ghods ... where's Pablus when you need him???
Cheers! (Mai-Tai #17)

<ahem> I'm working over number 17 right now, and considering another kava bowl ... I've swapped out my third Blue Hawaiians album for Los Straightjackets.
Party's entering an entirely new phase.
Hope I remember to take the damned potatoes out of the oven.
(I would be remiss if I failed to point out that compared to Pablus, I'm a lightweight)
Cheers!

ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Number 18 ... Los Straightjackets playing REAL LOUD. Here I am in the as yet unfinished Cannibal Lounge. Hopefully this will be completed this month! Got my Mai-Kai shirt on, and ready to go!!!
Ghods - better pull the potatoes soon or the Lovely Joelle will kill me.
<note> also managed another Kava Bowl - Fijiian this time - this could well be my last post ...
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what two hurricanes (with a third threatening) will do to even the most rational folk. 
17 Mai Tais! I'd have lime heartburn coming out my ass...
Please share your kava recipes! I've got a bunch of ground kava (Fijian) sitting in the freezer. I'm surprised no one's told you that your liver's gonna explode from mixing kava and alcohol. They kind of scared me a bit. Now ya've got me interested in kava again!

OK, the Lovely Joelle has returned, and it seems that Christina was at a party of some variety. So this is why I was deserted ... I DID save the potatoes, and after the two kava bowls and Mai-Tai #18 decided to do a gradual slow down.
Put on Julie London, sent Christina to bed, put the coffee on, took a nice walk out in the back to see how the 50 palms are doing (after Frances), came back in and poured myself a tasty coffee with Kahlua,rum, and cream ... well, there's gotta be a way to make it drinkable right? Julie's doing 'Blues in the Night' right now ... dare I hope?????
Joelle is debating the merits of "sweet" Mai-Tai's vs. "sour" Mai-Tai's (the way I like them), and I'm feeling VERY mellow at this point. Like I care right now
Anyway, I've decided to sleep in tomorrow, so I'm going for some more potent alkalai's and turning in. Good night to all, and may your evening's be as pleasant as mine has been!
Cheers!!!
