Jungle Juice

Lately, we had been seeing fewer and fewer butterflies come by the Tree House...so we decided to try a concoction of sorts to attract the critters...we were told of a blend that would attract more butterflies...i'll have to give all the credit to Mark for mixing up this jungle juice...i can guarantee it's NOT EVER going to make it in the books as something to mix up for your next party...
First you get a banana and peel it, cut it up in a few pieces and place it in a ziploc bag...let it set for about a week to create this wonderful pulp/juice (nasty frothy blend of juice and mushy banana)...come back to it after the week is through...open up the bag (and stand back because it will smell), and then you add in a couple shots of bacardi rum...but wait, it's not quite done yet...to this you also add a shot or two of human urine...Mark was willing to provide his sample and i was totally okay with that...he says it's his contribution to make sure the butterfly population does not become extinct...so, once you have all of the three ingredients in the ziploc bag, you give it a whirl...and voila - you have Jungle Juice...
I do have to say this is all Mark, because I wanted nothing to do with this one...I consider myself a Food Network fanatic and I do like experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes, but this was one recipe I was not interested in trying at all...but, as you can see in the pictures, there were a couple of butterflies who were up bright and early sipping on the Jungle Juice...and they did cozy themselves up to the bar/tree stump and hang out for quite a bit.
