Ricard and water; when in France...

First tea on a nice, warm afternoon.

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home

'Twas so good to be young then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky

Good morning, everyone! Happy August! We've made it! And it's another 'Personal Best' in my 'staying alive' contest. Wow! Thanks, God! Today I have Ahmad's "English Breakfast" tea in my cup. I had forgotten about this stuff for a while, it being trapped behind some others on the shelf. Shame, too, as it's really a pretty decent tea! Looks to be a pretty nice day, with some easy chores. I want to buy a one-burner table-top gas cooking hob, and found an ex-pat who is leaving town and selling one for about $5. I don't need anything fancy; I'm only going to be using this for roasting corn on the cob. My regular kitchen hobs are all 'Induction Cook-tops' and you can't roast on those.

One more cup of tea, then down to visit the Food Lady!

I need an Ardbeg slushie. It's HOT.

dreams · 08-01-2014, 03:11 AM

And it continues to be HOT here too. About 80F (27C) after midnight, now, and to be 106F (41C) tomorrow. I really don't mind the daytime heat, if we get a cool down at night, but this constant heat just wears me out.

Cold tea in my cup and munching on some English cucumbers.

Ok. I give up! What are they?

badgoodDeb · 08-01-2014, 03:20 PM

It's apparently a single drink, not a "they". It's yoghurt, mangled mango, and perhaps honey. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/e...si-recipe.html

cromag · 08-01-2014, 05:00 PM

Finally sitting down to a mug of tea!

Wut she said! Next time you are in an Indian restaurant, order one. A very refreshing drink! It can be made with many other fruits as well if you don't care for mangoes. Works very well with bananas! It shouldn't be too thick... About the consistency of a milkshake. Lots of ice, too!

They're rioting in Africa
They're starving in Spain
There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans
The Germans hate the Poles

Italians hate Yugoslavs
South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much

But we can be tranquil and thankful
And proud for man's been endowed
With a mushroom shaped cloud

And we know for certain that
Some lovely day someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away

Good morning, everyone! With the Kingston Trio setting the tone this morning, and the faux news of a pod of Killer Whales eating a group of Japanese fisherman, we greet this Saturday with arms akimbo and a wry smile on the lips. Just another day in Paradise! I decided to drink Ahmad's 'English Breakfast' tea again this morning, thinking it a perfect accompaniment to French Toast, and I was correct! It worked well. So well, in fact, I'm having a third cup right now. Then it's time to pack (lightly) for the fencing salle and a day of drudge... scut work... boring, repetitive movements... yech! I have a feeling that I'll probably volunteer to referee most of the bouting today. (A wonderful excuse not to practice footwork.) We usually take turns but if I can't fight, and I'll want to watch the competition, at least I can free up some of the others so they can rest between bouts.

Loathe bananas! But am quite fond of mangoes!

Glad to see you are taking it a bit easy! Manage those muscles!

Didn't manage much... I practiced footwork and mobility drills for two hours, then ref'ed the epee bouts for another two hours. I'm seriously thinking of starting to fence right handed until my left arm heals up. That drill stuff can turn my brains into tofu.... Referee-ing isn't much better!

Home now with an afternoon mug of PG Tips tea!

Sounds like you need some liberal amounts of that blue stuff you consume
