You shouldn't say stuff like that to a girl.

Oh, I gave it a chance all right. A big, sloppy, mole-and-fried-ice-cream chance all over the riverwalk in San Antonio. Pleh!

Yeah Pauline, but rilly, do you think it was the fried ice cream or the mole that did it? That velvety fur is mighty hard to keep down.

Shadoth is absolutely right; the rule is, Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head.

Huh, wot? [kaf kaf]

Homeopathic Cocktails

I've been having some real cravings for mixed drinks. Since I
1) normally don't drink alcohol
2) am pregnant

having a regular cocktail is probably not a good ide.

Thus I think I will invent the homeopathic cocktail, where an eyedropper instead of a shot glass is used.

For example:
Homeopathic Gin & Tonic
Add two drops gin to glass of tonic on the rocks serve with slice of lime.

Now I just need some tonic water and an eyedropper.

Wuss . Need somethin' with some robusta in there for the kick. (Although Merlo's standard and Private espresso is 100% Arabica).

Try it. There's a strong, smoky flavour too it. Not bad or worse, just different.

I'm going for some Nerada tea in a sec. Mon oncle lives just down the road from the plantation at Murbah.

(I'm also gonna be eating a few Tim Tams. My flatmate, M, the anal one, has a habit of knocking them off without asking. But I don't think he'll be doing that. Why? Because I've cut the top of the packet open with a sharp knife - so there's a flap of plastic like a lid - and written on it: "I'VE SNEEZED ON THESE". That'll learn 'im.)

So Gromit Have been in for a pint at the Artic Ice Bar?
Coffee Roasters here abound- I've become one of "those" they of the fresh roasted bean,a proper roasted bean, no don't tell me about how you roast it (and they will on an alaskan island, just let me grind and brew. Ah.
Got a Pound of Tarrazu - Coasta Rican (shb) medium roast.

Mmm, small hard bean. You're a connou connisu man of taste.

Do you roast your own with a popcorn popper?

On rereading that post I see that it seems as though I do roast my own beans, I do not. I trade with a green been buyer here in town who roasts small batches, fine coffee, really just great fucking wonderful stuff.
I tend toward dark roasted bean most times but this Tarrazu smelled so good I could not pass it up.. It makes a bloody fine cup. I don't know much about the art of the process, it would seem however that it is possible to wreck a "good bean" with crappy roasting.
Ms.T signing off

Oh, and I heartily apologise for calling you a "man", ma'am.

Cock! It's clear: She's been impregnated by Borg!!

OK, I am not drinking it right now, in the middle of the afternoon, but I had a glass last night.



This is early landed, late bottled cognac; which is unique to the UK. Almost all cognac is matured in Cognac itself and each year around 7% of it evaporates; in Cognac the casks are then topped up with fresh cognac. This means that there can really be no such thing as a single vintage cognac.

However ELLB is landed in the UK shortly after being distilled, in the milder climate of the UK there is much less evaporation, only 2 to 3% and (here is the main difference) it is topped up using cognac from the same batch & vintage. This means that the cognac is a much more pure version & should really only be drunk straight, with perhaps a glass of water on the side.

The lecture is now ended.

I just drank a Muller Vitality low fat probiotic yogurt. It's the first time I've drunk one of these probiotic things. My wife bought them as they were 2 for 1 at the shop.

A cup of Peet's Sumatra, brewed strong, mixed with very little half-and-half and nothing else. They under-emphasize the earthiness in that writeup, IMHO. Tasty stuff.
