You may be asking why I'm posting if I don't have the sizes…well, these are great recipes…and if I don't stick them up while they are in my hand, I won't do it.

oh heck…where is your sense of adventure…go give 'em something to talk about!

If it wouldn't give my parents so much trauma I would. My dad is a preacher and everybody is up in our business.  If I buy any alcohol products in the Charleston area my parents know before I get home.

My brother won't buy beer in the county either…I go home and do what I please!

(I'd have made a horrible preacher's daughter…)

I know what you mean by the big cans!

The 46 ounce ones?  I used to make punch like this for crowds.  We would freeze multiple cans of the base, put them in a bowl, pour the ginger ale over the frozen fruit juice base, then mash it with a potato masher.  It turns the punch into a slush.  My sister-in-law made the punch for a Tupperware party years ago.  She didn't cook much.  Instead of using pineapple juice — she used crushed pineapple, and couldn't figure out why my punch was so much more smooth than hers.  It was good, but you had to finish the punch with a spoon to get the pineapple at the bottom of your glass.
