Probably milk with my Pesto pizza

Have you ever tried milk with mint cordial?

Preparation is collecting glasses and bowls scattered around the various rooms of my apartment, then getting the cat out of the sink (he likes to nap there sometimes) and then definitely some self-motivation.

Usually, by the time I get back to kitchen to actually DO the dishes, my roommate has already gotten them done. It works out very nicely.

Edited to add: In my cup - Coke Classic over quickly melting ice.

Sadly enough, I don't have a roommate to do the dishes for me ...

Re: astra

I got this press statement from him:
"will definitely be back on Saturday or Sunday."

During the interview, I was able to obtain some details:
"I caught a cold. So, I am resting from typing what I drink and actually drink it

". That must be the cold that you Iridal gave him, the first day of holidays

I actually got a statement from him about his "reprimanding/punishing"

"My (omissis) statement (omissis) would be: I guess the (omissis) wins over the (omissis).
(omissis)^2

"

He looks in great shape, although intimately worried about Internet in China. Maybe he wants to set up a business connection, for Milk Oolong.

Another cup of Rooibos Orange Lemon Lime (very yummy

) while getting ready for some Ikea fun.

(Actually not fun at all, I suck at assembling Ikea furniture ...)

Your brother? In exchange of a clean Tee shirt?

Couldn't come to part with $12.95 for a small box of unknown tea in the tourist areas. Nice names.

Nope, he has to work today. But his rate has gone up: instead of a clean t-shirt he now demands a couple of bottles of iced tea green and chinese food for dinner in exchange for helping me

I went to Ikea yesterday. My mother wanted an extra Poang footstool to put in front of an upholstered chair that she likes to sit in. I actually like to go to Ikea in hot weather. It's nice and cool in there and it's a good place to people-watch. I took Mom's (new

) wheelchair and she alternated pushing it and riding in it, so it was good exercise for us both. Then came home and put the footstool together, and luckily this time everything fit together right and I didn't have any trouble with it. Have fun!

Nope. What is a mint cordial?

Pot one of Rooibos Ginger.

Dishes in my house are done by me. My husband does not seem to understand what the dishwasher is used for. About half the time he will put his dishes in the sink or next to the sink. The other half of the time he leaves them scattered around the house. I tried waiting him out but after a week the counter was full of dishes and I was very annoyed.

Sake highball in Osaka!

A mint cordial is the Northern European way of calling Sciroppo di Menta (Mint Syrup).

Training a husband to make the dishes is a fine art. It helps having the dishwasher, of course.

I make the dishes because she is so much nicer to me.

In a really nice way. Ways, actually. You know ...
