(11,589 posts)I make mine a little different than the recipe at the link. I mix orange Sherbet, Godiva white chocolate liqueur, and this:
You can replace the liqueur with milk and blend it. SO YUMMEH!

(3,709 posts)Heading to the liquor store tomorrow for the ingredients!!
Thanks for the recipe!!
Raine1967
(11,589 posts)Sometimes I blend it up, but I'll be honest. I've scooped out the sherbet, drizzled some Stoli V from the freezer, then the godiva and then... WAIT FOR IT

(6,278 posts)Or perhaps add a line to the "About This Forum" explaining the name? Post 38 is a good reason to do so - plus it would be that much more of a tribute!

MFM Lounge
AnneD
(15,774 posts)He is FIMFM....
I hear about his passing soon after it happened and I am still processing it and have taken this long to put something in writing. The last time I felt like this was when Johnny Carson retired and when he passed away.
I have always had a wicked sense of humor. I loved to stay up late and watch Johnny Carson. To those of you too young to remember, Johnny Carson was THE place for up and coming comedians. I had a fantasy that I would preform on Johnny's show one day and be so funny that I would be invited to sit on the chair next to him after the break. If I cracked him up...I had it made.
Well I am not a comedian, although I still crack people up. I started coming to DU and eventually discovered the lounge. I learned the hard way to not be drinking liquids when opening MFM posts. Occasionally a witty retort would occur to me and I would post a reply. I would be thrilled if I elicited a response from MFM. It was as if Johnny Carson had called me back. More times than not MFM bested me, but I didn't mind-a battle of wits is always better if both people are armed.
As a Nurse, I picked up on his health concerns and frankly was concerned at his last visit. He soft pedaled it a bit but I think he was aware of the severity. I have had patients with similar wicked streaks. They are the ones that make you cross over the Nurse Patient lines a bit. They are the ones you you grow to love and whose death, no matter how much expected, still comes as a surprise. Their death stings and you think of them long after they are gone. I gather that he was at a facility where his humor was appreciated-any place that offers tag team baths and no pants Friday has got to be worth admission.
I am also glad there were other DU'ers around him for support and God Bless You. MFM is much loved.

(41,963 posts)I had a crush on Carson from the time I was a little girl taking care of a sick mother in the middle of the night.
Jim tickled that funny/smart spot and it was wonderful.
Warpy
(111,255 posts)I think he'd get a huge laugh out of it. It's a fitting memorial.
Yeah, we did cross swords a time or two. He was never nasty so he stayed on my open list.
I miss him.

Very cool!
On edit, I'm happy but also sad - I hope he somehow knows.
