We don;t have a Red Lobster in our area, for which great thanks are due to Someone. In fact, there is only one retaurant in the county that can serve any alcohol other than wine. This restaurant uses handblown French glasses in the shape of a bird with widespread wings. You guessed it, they put in a margarita and call it Tequila Mockingbird.

<ahem>
you can say what you like about TEd's puns, but they appear to be hard-fought and are certainly non-obvious.

oooh, can we...? :] Mav, I think we'd best not. But I think we can vote on whether TEd's worst is his best or his best is his best. Be careful though, it's best not to arouse the wrath of punsters named TEd. They have no shame.

Just in the connotative sense, I think of vinaigrettes as being lighter than dressings--not heavily oily. Since your recipe has rice wine vinegar and other light ingredients, such as the tangerine juice and soy sauce, I would have thought it was a vinaigrette just based on its appearance even without your having announced it as a vinaigrette.
Now, please, Father Steve, even though this isn't a food thread, would you please post here the proportions of ingredients, for these ingredients sound very nice together and I'd like to try my hand at this creation. Thank you for considering.

It being Advent, when tangerines are commonly found at the grocers
Is that just a coincidence, or is there some symbolism that I'm unaware of?

"There is no such thing," she responded. To which I replied, "There must be in that you are, at this moment, eating it."
I just ran a check with the Academie and they said there will be a minimum 6 week wait while they decide if the word vinaigrette may be used to refer to a dressing made with your recipe.

The most traditional liturgical colours for Advent are purple (or violet) and a sort of royal blue. I never heard of anybody using the colour "tangerine" -- if indeed there IS such a colour -- to symbolize Adventide.
I just meant that things like satsumas and mandarins and tangerines tend to show up at the grocers around this time of year in the Colonies.

then there is the color octarine, which according to Terry Pratchett is the color of magic.
