    Boozicals Holiday Special: A Muppet Christmas Carol

    Light the lamp, not the rat!!! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, listeners!! This week Raven and Campbell first exchange gifts then recount possibly the best Christmas movie of all time? Together they discuss holiday traditions, character design, and how one should treat a puppet, with reverence and respect, in the 1992 musical classic, The Muppet Christmas Carol. Where to watch: Disney+ (extended version in extras), YouTube, Prime Video, Fandango, Apple TV, Google Play   Classic Rum Balls: - 3 ½ cups wafer cookies (or graham crackers) - 1 ¼ cup pecans or walnuts - 1 cup powdered sugar - 2 tbsp cocoa powder - ½ tsp salt - ⅓ cup dark spiced rum (or ½ cup if you want it a little boozier) - 2 tbsp corn syrup (or honey/maple syrup)   Break up wafer cookies into fine crumbs (either with a food processor or smashing them in a bag). Chop nuts finely and combine with wafer cookies. Add sugar, cocoa powder, and salt and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, combine rum and corn syrup until combined. Add the wets to to the drys and fold until mixture is moistened evenly. Add any additional rum if there are dry spots.

    Boo-zicals Halloween Special: Over the Garden Wall

    Ain’t that just the way. This spooky season, Raven and Campbell dive into the unknown and discuss possibly the best piece of media ever (at least to fellow clarinetist/bassoonist, Campbell). Together they read Raven’s future, dissect Dante’s Inferno, and try to find the perfect milkshake name for the 2014 animated, musical mini-series, Over the Garden Wall.   Where to watch: Hulu, Prime Video   Pottsfield Shake Recipe (makes more than 1): - 5 scoops vanilla ice cream - 2-4 oz bourbon - 3 tbsp pumpkin puree/pumpkin pie filling - 1 tsp maple syrup - 1 cup of cubed pumpkin bread (plus more for garnish) - Amaretto whipped cream* Add ice cream, bourbon, puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin bread into a blender. Blend until combined. Pour milkshake into a glass and top with whipped cream and crumbled pumpkin bread. *Add 1 cup heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup powdered sugar to a bowl. Beat on low until sugar has dissolved and incorporated into the cream. Increase mixer speed and whip until soft peaks form (5-7 minutes). Pour in 3 tbsp amaretto and mix until stiff peaks form. Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days.   You can support us by donating to: Education Through Music at https://www.classy.org/give/442371/#!/donation/checkout The D’Addario Foundation: http://www.daddariofoundation.org/about/donate  Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation: https://www.mhopus.org/donate/    Email us at boozicals@gmail.com or comment your musical requests or cocktail recommendations!
