“Tequila & Marshmallows”

Clever title don’t you think?  Bet you didn’t have a clue what it relates to. . . something exotic or mundane!?

When I was much younger & underage ‘booze’ was so enticing - some of my friends were fond of raiding a parent’s cupboard for a bottle of tequila.  Out came the shot glasses and the game was on.  Who could down the most shots without passing out or chickening out.  I recall asking a friend why they chose tequila and she said. . . “because it’s the ‘tough stuff’.  The popular wisdom among my more daring friends was that if you could down shots of tequila, you could drink anything!

Okay, so got that!  But what about “marshmallows”?  How does that fit?

The other side of the coin for the same day and age in which daring friends downed shot after shot of tequila was the fun of fall hayrides culminating in a weeny-roast and toasted marshmallows.  You know those soft things that ooze gooey once slightly tinged with brown around the edges. 

Tequila, the tough stuff for the ‘tough’ and marshmallows for their softness & sweet oozy flavor.  You’ll find the “rest of the story” at the CONNECTION STATION (http://www.affiliatedwomen.ning.com/).
