Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for June 30, 2023

Don’t try to understand it, Dan. Just go along with it.

Makes sense to me. Special occasions cal for special pucnhes besides a punch recipe serves a lot of people. How long would it take to finish up the recipe before it goes bad. Correction – it would disappear befor it went bad.

Ginger ale for life!

It is a true fact that punch tastes better at parties.

Dan keeps a tight grip on his cheese snacks. HA!

And this is why you are Amanda the Great!

“Party” is the Secret Ingredient!

Why does salad that is made in a restaurant taste better than the ones I make at home? It isn’t always just the dressing (although that is part of it). Fresher ingredients? Never have figured that out. Maybe because I didn’t have to make it?

Amanda, remember “Eccentricity” is as “Eccentricity” does….it’s what makes you “Special” that way :-)

Probably because there’s no incentive to leave some for the other guests. The first glass of punch is always the best. The fourteenth glass – not so much. :)

It does seem to be a gathering thing. You’d hate for the dry ice effect to go fully unappreciated. Placing bets on who will spike the bowl. (Hint: they’re young and saw it in a movie.)

It’s true! Just like wine doesn’t taste as good in a coffee mug. I’ll try to come up with a better Punch line.

I used to make the best punch! No more sugar for this little grey duck

She is right! Some things just taste better at parties.

Linguistic trivia – “punch” comes from the Hindi word “panch” meaning “five”. Originally a drink from India with five elements to it. It made its way to Britain during the Empire.
