That must have been one HELL of a BBQ you were headed for!  (Hope they had
plenty of "screech" on hand...)

BTW - for those of you wondering, an friend of mine in Halifax introduced me
to the wonders of what he called "screech" along with *several* fresh boiled
lobsters.  Evidently, it is some kind of Canadian moonshine - and I can tell
you, I have never had tequila that made me feel so badly the next day...  I
never did find out what it was made from - by the name, I wouldn't be
surprised if it was distilled from left-over tires...
