+--- Thread: What do you do with a Magnum of Cooks?? (/thread-13421.html)
- Triple H - 05-09-2005
I received this as part of the package for a larger prize during an auction at my sons school. Now the question is...what do I do with it? any creative ideas out there?
- Bucko - 05-09-2005
Launch a ship?
- Kcwhippet - 05-09-2005
I don't have any good suggestions at all.

Clear out the septic system.

Trade it for a magnum of sherry?

One of my creative daughters made a lovely bulletin board for the kitchen with corks from my wine adventures. She simply glued them to a pice of plywood and finished the edges with some cute fabric. The notes are thumb-tacked on and help remind one of what we forgits!WW

Glasses, Glasses Verne....Cooks not Corks. I like the ship suggestion but the wine would probably eat thru the hull [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

Huh?

It's a little known variation of the see how many people will fit in a phone booth challenge.

I should never have asked the question...
- Kcwhippet - 05-10-2005
Oh no, keep asking. How else could you get such wonderful advice. Seriously, Cook's is so bad, we won't even carry it in our shop.
- Drew - 05-10-2005
We're all having a little fun at your expense Triple H, no harm intended. Cooks is a very low quality domestic sparkling wine. The magnum (1.5L) retails for less than $10. Invite some friends and make Mimmosas.
6 ounces Brut Champagne
3 ounces fresh Orange Juice
Chill orange juice and champagne and mix together in a chilled goblet to individual taste. Add ice if needed.

WARNING: you'll ruin the orange juice!

So far I like Bucko's idea best. Except now I have to find a boat.
- Kcwhippet - 05-10-2005
You're kidding, of course. There must be a million boats in the Seattle area.
- Triple H - 05-10-2005
True, but sneaking up and smacking the bow with large format plonk may be a problem [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img] [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/eek.gif[/img]

Nah, just do it in the auto hold of one of the ferries, then say "Ooops." Someone in the crew will probably yell out "Clean up in aisle two" and you'll be done.
