Sunshine Tiki ZTL 148

Aloha and welcome to the only tiki bar that lives in your head.  On this weeks podcast we discuss the sometimes frowned upon delicacy known as SPAM.  Not really into processed pig?  Thats OK.  Try our cocktail of the week first, the Mayan Mai Tai.  Then try the SPAM.  Pumpkin also takes us on another walk through the wonderful world of natural healing and shares some awesome new Halloween trends.  Do you need dead babies for your yard?  We got you covered.  Sunshine introduces listeners to a new online radio station, similar to Pandora but this one has lots of exotica.  Check out Slacker radio online or on your mobile phone.  Slacker has over 3,000,000 songs, and some of them are even real exotica.  Since we took a week off we made sure to answer plenty of listener mail and give some advice for those of you who asked.  Mahalo and enjoy the show.

Mr. Prez sure has been up to a lot the last week.  Speaking on almost every topic but the one most near and dear our hearts.  Where is the political policy on tikinomics?  What about the economy of a cocktail based culture.  Surely Obama must have time to work out these important issues?  Well, if he doesn't WE DO!  So lets start with a super stomach satisfying ginger based drink.  A little mint, some passion fruit and get ready to have your socks knocked off.  Now that your toasted its time for Pumpkins latest installment of healing remedies.  This week is parsley.  Not just for your plate, but also great in juice and wine.  Yep, WINE!  Sunshine and Pumpkin also discuss how each of us can save our local tiki bar, fight stupidity, teach children that they can fail and learn from it, and much more. Make a Mingie Gingie for yourself:

1.5 oz Canton Ginger Liqueur

.5 oz Appleton white rum

1 oz fresh lemon juice

1/3 oz passion fruit syrup
