Pine Bud Drink??

My Mom left two little cans, the size of energy drinks, in the fridge, and eor decided, today, that I should get rid of them.  By drinking them.  My first reaction was "Pine bud?  Who wants to drink something that tastes like pine buds?"  My second reaction was, "It's like drinking Pinesol!"  I've taken several sips and can't get used to it.  But just now it dawned on me that if I liked gin I might like this drink.  If I could obtain the other ingredients of a Long Island Iced Tea I might be able to make this work. 

Can you tell I hate wasting food?

(camwyn, I haven't forgotten about the Six Things About Me meme, I'm working on it.  It's hard for me to think of six things about myself.)

Also, I have an uncanny ability to go outside just when the rain decides to get heavy, so now three pounds of potatoes are drying on our table.  I walked a few blocks away to get more potatoes so we could have scalloped potatoes and chicken parm, because, with the rain, it's cooled off enough to run the oven. :)

help! I'm baffled and confused. :(

( cut for dorkiness - the great teaspoon/Tablespoon debate )

ETA The Third: Okay, consider the evidence in. lemondropgirl referenced Google, mec407 weighed in with his Betty Crocker and Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks from the 50s and 60s, and camwyn has added the testimonial of her textbook from Food Prep and Hospitality Management 101 and 102.

And the conclusion is - derien and eor are complete dorks. As everyone always expected, right? :)

ETA the Fourth: The only explanaition I can find for the fact that our Tablespoon measure appeared to agree with our belief is that our psychic (or possibly psychotic) fields actually changed the size of the measuring spoon to match our belief. ;)

ETA the Fifth (2013!) The last measuring spoon set we bought actually had 2 different "Tablespoons" in it: One is 15 milliliters, the other is 20 milliliters.

and a Sixth ETA Eor says he and I have discussed the fact that the 20mil Tablespoon is Australian. I didn't remember that.

Six Things About Me

Because I was tagged by camwyn. :)

( cut for length )

I'm supposed to tag six people, but I don't like to obligate people.  If you feel like doing it, I'd like to hear six things from any of you.  Right now I have to go to bed. :)
