What is in your cup? - Page 1837

Good morning. Gray but dry, here. And a bit brisk (3C). A big mug of Peet's English Breakfast and a glass of fresh squeezed OJ.

Second mug of tea.

Fresh coffee after a long day and a great dinner.

CRussel · 02-02-2014, 12:53 PM

Good morning! Sun is out, it's brisk, but no rain. And the forecast is for 0-5C all week, with sun. I can handle that!

Got in _late_ last night, after dinner with friends across the street. A lovely bottle of Burrowing Owl Syrah, but I got nailed with a red-wine headache. Sigh. OTOH, since the headache hits 15 minutes after you start drinking the red wine, you might as well enjoy it, since stopping won't stop the headache.

This morning, fresh squeezed orange juice and Peet's Major Dickason's coffee.

Tsk! Tsk! You know better! Red wine! Ouch!

Pepsi Max in my glass - after some yard clean up.

Fresh Folgers coffee in my cup. Not bad.

yeah, I know. But I took my aspirin, and 4 times out of 5 I get away with it. This time, I didn't.

But it was a LOVELY Syrah. From the Okanagon Valley here in BC, and everything a good cool weather Syrah should be. Not huge, but textured, superb nose, excellent finish, and a level of complexity you only get when the winemaker is smart enough to leave the grapes alone and let them tell their own story.

Peet's Holiday Breakfast Blend tea.

Last mug of tea, just in time for dinner.

I woke up one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Good morning, everyone. Here comes another new week! I marvel at the regularity of it. And of the reliability of good tea to start my mornings off properly. Today it's Taylors of Harrowgate's "Yorkshire" tea, brewed strong enough to stand on! Busy day planned; walk into the Old City to meet with friends for lunch, then off to my guitar lesson. Last week we started working on some slide guitar... Nice into to Dan Fogelberg's 'Sutter's Mill.' I usually play slide in an open tuning, but this is played in standard, so something very new for me. Fun stuff!

Good morning, Stitchawl. Or evening by now. Hope your guitar lesson went well. I'm supposed to be finishing this chapter right now, but I'm goofing off a bit after lunch.

Still drinking Peet's English Breakfast tea, my third mug today.

cromag · 02-03-2014, 05:58 PM

Starting mug #4, fortifying myself for some serious shovelling!
