Better than Kool-Aid

Eric Wilbur reports that the Jer-Ne Restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston now serves a drink called the "Dice-K Tini" in honor of Daisuke Matsuzaka. It's created with Vodka, Passion Fruit Puree and Sake and is garnished with pickled ginger and a "glowing red ice cube" made to look like a die.

I'm in Seattle where in public we are served Ichiro-related novelty drinks only. I want to know how the heck the Jer-Ne bartender makes the "glowing red ice cube" so that I can mix the drink for home-based-Red Sox-party-consumption. The Dice-K Tini would make an excellent "rally drink" for Matsuzaka's first start, don't you think?!

Jack Bauer vs. Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Haha. I couldn't resist: In this special three minute episode of 24, the Aqua Teen Hunger Force is terrorizing Boston and it's up to Jack Bauer to stop them. Boston's finest are never going to live down the Moonite mishap.
