ONE WEEK -- 100+ Recipes!!!

Hi All in Google-Land!!

THANKSGIVING IS ONE WEEK AWAY!!!!

















Do you know what you are doing?  Do you have a plan?  Do you have your Cheers POS System to ring up sales at your liquor store the day before and on Black Friday?  If you are a patron, have you talked to your neighborhood liquor store regarding getting the Cheers POS System?

Yes, we'll stop.

Thanksgiving.  In 168 - 180 hours, you and all your loved ones (and/or family) will be committing heinous amounts of gluttony, gorging yourself on food that only comes around this time of year, marking the few days that acceptingly blurs the lines between Spiced Pumpkin season and Peppermint Chocolate season.

Let Cheers POS help you with that!!

Today, included in this post, with NO cost to you, is the following link: http://www.epicurious.com/holidays-events/best-thanksgiving-recipes-package  On this page, find OVER 100 RECIPES for Thanksgiving (we were impressed with 20 turkey recipes alone).  Sides and desserts are included, BUT, we were impressed with the 9 cocktails included.  No, that's not a lot of cocktails, all things considered, and, true, we have not checked them out, BUT, we enjoyed very much that we were able to find food and drink recipes all through this one link.

We hope you enjoy this as well.



~Cheers!

The Wednesday before Thanksgiving

Hey All!!

Thanks for following!!

Exciting news -- Cheers POS has made another sale and another customer!!

We are just over ONE WEEK AWAY FROM THANKSGIVING!!

Support your local liquor store -- stock up early.

Hmmm...Odd those two paragraphs like that.  I am sure that those are completely separate ideas.  Not meant to be read together.  Not meant to be read together at all.

Anyway, in regular retail, it is an, "all hands on deck," situation for Black Friday; that's not how it works in liquor retail.  Liquor Retail requires EVERYBODY to be on board the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  That's how it is going to be at the liquor store next to us.  To sum up: when you go to your neighborhood liquor store on Wednesday, BE PATIENT.  You may have to deal with holiday-level crowds of people.  You may have to deal with long lines.  You may (and this is VERY important to remember) have to deal with a lot more workers out on the floor -- with this many people in a store, some may think it easy for the workers to be distracted and not notice if one takes advantage of a, "Buy One Get One Free," promotion...that the store is not offering.

Be warned.

Not only will there be people out on the floor, there will be somebody in the back monitoring the camera.

AND, no matter how busy it is, liquor store workers have been trained to check identification.  Do not think the long lines will make liquor store workers skip this.  It is between $1,000 - $5,000 dollars for the business AND the worker who sells to an underage person (at least it is in the state of KS, it may be different in other states).  Do not think that a liquor store worker will forget this.

Please, everybody, be patient should you go to a liquor store the Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving.

All that being said, we have posted on Facebook and G+ today; please check out those posts as well as what we have pinned on Pinterest!!

~Cheers!!

Countdown: One Day, Two Weeks

Hey All!!

Good Gloomy Tuesday Morning to you all!!!

It's grey and somewhere between wet & damp outside (it's stopped raining, but, there are puddles).  It is going to cool down after today here in Kansas.

There are A LOT of links we want you to check out (since there's no reason to go outside).

First, https://www.cheerspos.com/  The website that allows us to post on Blogger.  It has changed since we first began.  It has changed A LOT (there are those words again!).  Perhaps it has changed since you first saw it.  Take a look at it.  Everything is on one page so that you do not get lost -- no other tabs open.  If you need a point of sales system for your liquor store business, give us a holla.

Second, Thanksgiving is one week and two days away.  For this reason, one would think we would be posting A LOT (THREE!) more drink recipes, but, no...well, maybe the closer we get to the holiday...and then after that.  Today we are posting two food recipes, two food hacks, the vodka pie-crust recipe, and an article dismissing the vodka pie-crust recipe (that is, the article states it's not about the vodka but how the pie crust is prepared).  The last article gives a recipe for a White Russian.

BUT, that is not the drink recipe for the day.  The drink recipe for the day is a Pumpkin Butter Martini.  Pumpkin vodka, butterscotch schnapps, and apple cider (https://www.thecocktailproject.com/drink-recipes/pumpkin-butter-martini)!!  Please click the link for the measurements of these ingredients).

(This is what the drink looks like on the thecocktailproject.com page.  See how pretty it is!)

Recipes:
1.  Rosemary Pecans (for a do-it-ahead appetizer): http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/rosemary-pecans
2.  Spiced Sweet Potato Wedges (for a do-it-ahead side dish):  http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/spiced-sweet-potato-wedges

5.  Recipe:  Vodka Pie Crust!  https://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/3919-foolproof-pie-dough
6.  Article:  Pie Crust Secret and White Russian recipe -- http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/restaurants/vodka-is-not-the-secret-to-the-perfect-pie-crust-weve-got-a-way-better-recipe-and-white-russians-too-6531277

Third, our secretary should probably check out some synonyms.  She needs A LOT of help with her vocabulary.

~Cheers!!

Tasting & Thanksgiving!!

Hey All!!

Happy Friday the 13th. Yes, it has been one of, "those days," but, not as bad as it could be...

Our secretary has been busy doing secretarial things today. Our new sales guy has been busy by learning what he can to provide a better point of sales service for you. The boss has been busy as he has been away on business.
 
Cheers POS -- We just can't wait!

Remember, if you are in or near Saint Marys, KS at any time this afternoon, until 22:00 local time, there is an alcohol tasting at Rada's Cellar Wine & Spirits. Come for the booze, stay for the booze.

Thanksgiving is LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY!! Cheers POS is continuing with our theme of drink recipes and food recipes (we decided to bring you the bird today -- four turkey recipes, because it's getting close to Thanksgiving (LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY!!).

Sampling, Ziploc, & Drink

Hey All!!

Just like the title says, today's post will be about a sampling in Saint Marys, KS, a recipe from Ziploc, and today's Thanksgiving drink (THANKSGIVING IS TWO (2) WEEKS AWAY FROM TODAY!!!!!)

1. If you are in or near the Saint Marys, KS area tomorrow anytime between Noon and 10:00 p.m., stop by Rada's Cellar Wine & Spirits for a free sampling of Peligroso and some other products (Triple Crown Whiskey, James E. Pepper 1776 Bourbon, Fireshine, keke, and 360 Double Chocolate Vodka). We also have new products on display.  They are pretty to look at, but, will NOT be available for sampling tomorrow.  Please see the other photographs.

2.  Today's recipe is an easy dessert if you want to save some calories (I am NOT claiming this is healthy, I am just saying this may possibly be more nutritious than a slice of apple pie).  It is from Ziploc; a three (really 4) ingredient Stuffed Apple Crisp. 

http://ziploc.com/en/recipes/sweets-and-desserts/stuffed-apple-crisp

3.  Today's Thanksgiving (Fall) Drink has more steps and ingredients than the dessert in Number 2 above!  It is a Cranberry Ginger Fizz Cocktail.  It is made with gin.  We do not vouch for this recipe, we just post that it exists.  If it interests anybody, all the better!!  (We are not all big gin fans here at Cheers POS).  http://www.creative-culinary.com/cranberry-ginger-fizz-cocktail/

Thanksgiving Day Hacks

Hi All!!

Happy Veterans Day!  We hope you all are reflecting on how fortunate we all are that we have the freedoms we do due to our veterans this day.

Speaking about being fortunate, what about being thankful?  Thanksgiving is two weeks and one day away.  We found the following on Pinterest and thought it was VERY clever.  We wish to share the following with all of you: http://www.buzzfeed.com/emofly/win-thanksgiving#.yd5ym6lKv

We found the following on dekuyperusa.com.  It is an Apple Cider Float.  It has bourbon and schnapps as well as apple cider and ice-cream.  http://www.dekuyperusa.com/recipe/apple-cider-float

We here at Cheers POS hope you find these engaging and enticing (if not helpful)!

~Cheers!

Casserole, Fall Drink, & Hacienda Vieja

Hey All!!

http://members.tripod.com/bigred_10/COOKBOOK-2/potato_cassarole.html

There are a few things we here at Cheers POS would like to share with you today.

1. Please see the link above for, "Aunt Margie's Potato cassarole," in case you do not know what to bring for Thanksgiving dinner. There are a few versions of this recipe out online, but, we share this one. We also will provide a tip: top with corn flakes.

2. The fall drink for today is a punch. It requires bourbon, brewed tea, and Champagne. https://www.thecocktailproject.com/drink-recipes/fancy-bourbon-punch

3. Went to Tapatio Mexican Grill yesterday in Kansas City, KS. Had a margarita. The margarita was made with Hacienda Vieja Tequila. It was smooth. Please purchase Hacienda Vieja Tequila (http://www.tequilahaciendavieja.com/) at your neighborhood liquor store and patronize Tapatio if you are in KC, KS (http://www.tapatiokc.com/).

~Cheers!
