: Dear Rich,
: Shrub is a colonial drink.  It's usually made of rum, with fruit juice (whatever is handy) and sugar.  Then you let it sit for a couple of months.  The longer it sits, the better and smoother it gets.  I tend to make mine from real lemons, but some day I'm going to venture into other fruits, as the colonial cookbooks offer recipes for them.

: Seamus prefers his shrub chilled, but I'm fine drinking it warm.  Ping must be served chilled for it to be at it's best.  

: I will be donating a couple of bottles of well-aged shrub for Ariel's Cabin, and Major Mike is donating a couple of bottles of Ping for the same.  I hope whomever wins will share!!

: : : Happy Birthday Seamus!!!

: : Yes, Seamus ... a most memorable one to you!

: : : Hey everyone, Seamus is celebrating his 60th today!!!

: : Indeed, I think that does qualify for the extra "er" in the phrase "Old[er] Geezer." I mean that's REALLY old!

: : :  By now he's probably on his way to Fort Frederick, MD, and I hope to see him there tomorrow to shake his hand and have a toast of 1-year-old homemade Shrub (even though he's a port fan).

: : That's awful! Resorting to eating BUSHES! Do I HAVE to grow up???   [Ok, ok, I'm not quite THAT dumb ... but, what exactly IS "shrub"?]

: : : Hope he doesn't shoot me for telling everyone how old he is! heeeheeeheee

: : Nor I, for making fun of it!

: : Enjoy Frederick, my friend!
