It's Time to Make Homemade Kahlua

What should hockey fans do right about now? The baseball playoffs (yeah Sox!) offered a damn good consolation for lack of an NHL opening night, but what now?

Here are a few suggestions:

Does anyone else wish that ESPN would start airing hockey games from Europe? (Ok probably not), but I bet Davos Switzerland featuring Joe Thornton (from the Boston Bruins) and Rick Nash (Columbus Blue Jackets) would be entertaining to watch. Here is an HC Davos clip if you need a hockey fix...uh...and you speak German. Das Eiiiishockey!

If you're a Colorado Avalanche fan, navigate over to the Denver Post. The writers there report on an Xbox Video Hockey League season played by 8-14 year olds. No comment here. My Playstation league is better.

Even if you don't like hockey at all, be sure to create your own South Park character just because it's fun. (Thanks Sean.)

At the Drunken Bleachers headquarters, we've decided to make a vat of homemade Kahlua - really for no particular reason other than to fill a few minutes of time that would have been spent watching the NHL. Here is the recipe if you want to try it at home:

4 Cups water
4 Cups granulated sugar
1/4 Cup Instant Coffee
1 Quart Vodka
1 Vanilla Bean or 4 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions: Combine sugar and water. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add instant coffee and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla bean or vanilla extract. Allow to cool. Add vodka. Pour into JUG or dark bottles. Let stand for 2-3 weeks.

Sip slowly and try not to think sad thoughts about hockey.
