In my cup? Nothing at the moment.

My cup if empty too!

I wonder whether it is a result of looking too much at leggings for women.
Maybe I should stick to leggings for men?

Hi orlok. There might be isolated counties that are still dry, but for the most part, the answer to your question is no. You can even buy alcohol on Sunday (but you have to wait until 1 p.m.).

Stitchawl

I remember drinking moonshine out of mason jar too, when I lived in Morganton many years ago. It kinda burned all the way down!

Your new black dress is very chic; I vote for that one! But black linen pants and one of your new tees would be attractive too.

I've had a leisurely morning

; now it's time to settle in to work so I have a cup of Green Mountain Wake-up Call in my coffee cup.

If it's any comfort, the repeat of this photo actually ended up by making me very hungry so I had to go make myself some dinner.
I'm a really lousy witch. Apparently all these things rebound on me.

Good bounty, Iri!

I don't wear leggings. I wear compression pants when playing sports.

Glad to hear they finally came to their senses, and that it is safe to visit once more

.

Crabbies in my bottle.

We just 'did a terrace' (man that sounds bad in English, but it's a Flemish expression: een terrasje doen), I wore the pinkish dress. But it got a little to cold so now we're at my place, ready to watch movies (starting with 300, no chick flicks for us

).

I just made some Rooibos Orange Lemon Lime for the girls, I wonder if they'll like it

poohbear_nc · 07-02-2011, 03:44 PM

Guinness this afternoon. Trying to find a place to try Crabbies!

It is embarrassing.
I completely misunderstood

I had a portion of Scottish ice cream today, in the garden....

I tasted kimchi/kimchee today.

My other half is reading an odd book The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman by Timothy Ferriss It has become a bible of her colleague. She and her fiance are following a diet specified in the book for 6 months now.

So, the author suggests eating kimchi, Japanese natto and drinking Fermented Kombucha Tea.
Kimchi was hot, though not terribly hot, even I could eat it. It didn't smell bad at all.
We prepared ourselves for an onslaught on our smell receptors and taste buds after reading CWatkinsNash and Stitchawl descriptions. However, it was only cabbage, ginger and chilli. I guess it was not a proper one.
She is very curious to try Japanese natto now...

We do know what Fermented Kombucha Tea is though.
It was popular in xUSSR households. We only didn't know the original name of this mushroom
