What is in your cup? - Page 979

Black coffee in my cup. Waiting for daylight so I can go walking...

Corn milk sounds interesting, but a bit more work than I'm willing to go to! I'll take my cow milk instead.

Some of the exercises I do at PT I can (and do) perform at home, but there are many I have to do that use special equipment. I also have massage therapy around the injured area as part of the PT, which doesn't feel as nice as you'd think!

A chai blend this morning. Mmm. Chai.

I went for PT for a swollen Achilles last year. I can do all of the exercises at home but each week they added a new exercise. As they saw improvement they built on what I could do. My insurance paid for it so I kept going.

OJ this fine morning. Out of skim milk and the whole milk just tastes so thick these days. We use it for homemade ice cream.

Do you have recipes ? We are a bit fed up of the usual vanilla base ice with whatever fruit is fresh at the moment....

ProfCrash · 08-30-2011, 09:22 AM

We got a great book from William and Sanoma with ice cream recipes. So far we have made Vanilla (which was awesome), Chocolate with Peanut Butter, Spicey Chocolate (was not the best but figured out that the Hubby used too much cinnammon), Butter Pecan (vanilla with carmalized pecans), Peach Pecan (Butter Pecan with Peaches), and Mint Chocolate.

We are still playig with the recipes. The Chocolate Peanut Butter had too much peanut butter and the peanut butter mix (made with powder sugar, butter, and peanut butter) could use less butter and powdered suggar. The Peach Pecan needed a lot more Peach. The Spicey Chocolate needed less cinammon (Hubby had cinammon sticks from an Asian shop and used four of them. They are twice the size of cinnammon sticks bought at the regular groecry store).

I am going to be makeing some Cinnammon ice cream this weekend.

I'm a customer at a local ice cream shop.

I come there everyday, since... last Saturday? Always 2 glasses of vanilla ice cream with coffee and coconut milk. Looks like hell 'cause they use ugly plastic glasses and cheap pewter spoons. But so yummy I keep coming back.

And I dragged 2 more people with me. They are already addict to the thing. I'm planning on the next victims.

We come on the SLOOP JOHN B, my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam,
Drinking all night got into a fight,
Well, I feel so broke up, I want to go home.

So hoist up the John B sails,
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore and let me go home,
Let me go home, I wanna go home, (yeah, yeah)
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.

Good morning, everyone. Another 'Hump Day!' Get past Wednesday and it's downhill sailing all the way to the weekend! Taylors of Harrogate's 'Yorkshire' tea in my cup and some freshly baked croissants on my plate. A very pleasant way to start a very pleasant day!

I think I'm going to get lucky today... find the guitar I've been searching for... Gotta keep up my "PMA!"

Love that song! The Beach Boys is on our work music this rotation. I run into people singing (both customers and workers) ALL the time when they're on.

Good luck with the guitar quest!

Day One of PT done... not so bad. Expect to be in pain tommorrow though... probably should plan an extra cup of something in prep...

cfo · 08-30-2011, 11:02 PM

Ginger ale. Upset stomach.

This morning, I did have a cup of Rooibos Tropica tea.

Some use boiled kernels, with or without milk, with or without corn leaves to add to the flavor... I taste all, and the prize goes to this:

- Get the raw kernels off the cobs (2 is enough for the first experiment).
- Puree them in the blender with some water (I don't remember how much, but it doesn't matter 'cause you can always add more later).
- Strain the mixture using a cloth. Very fine cloth results in clear liquid. Otherwise you'll get many tiny yellow bits, which I prefer.
- If you want to, say, sterile it, then boil the creamy yellow liquid. A little sugar up to your taste, and all done!

You may want to add some milk (200ml) when boiling it to boost the taste, although I prefer not.

Note that:
- It should be stored in airtight bottle in the fridge in 48h, top.
- You may want to use less water than the instructions, so that you can add some ice cubes later.
- There are many kinds of corn, so make sure you get the yellow, sweet one.

2. Corn milk is for entertainment. Or for a hot day. The rich taste of corn spoils the proper diner, in my opinion. But I find it get on well with breakfasts and snacks

3. Cold corn milk for me. Simply because it's summertime. I'll try warm when winter comes

I already told you all I know about corn milk

My knowledge about this is vast

If you have any more question, just ask! (I can always forward your questions to my sister, that is.)

I am sorry to bump this so late, by my Internet connection has become unreliable.
Anyway, if you let it ferment, this looks very much like chicia, the Peruvian corn beer, one of the worst thing I ever drunk. On request I could reveal how the señoras chicera start the fermentation.

No swim yesterday, we went to Nice for a day of shopping. Tremendous heath, but successful. Little girl got 2 provençal dresses, plus a chenille pajama, a pullover and a sailor tshirt from Petit Bateau. Big girl a pair of pants, a top and a shirt from Autour du Monde. I got 3 black tshirts ( my new look).

Big girl had had a genial idea: we went to Fnac with a bicycle taxi and little girl was enthusiastic.

To day Aqualand, I am keeping the goodies for the grad finale.
Having coffee.

you need to tell Big girl from me not to miss Decathlon, they have great stuff right now. I went yesterday for one tiny stuff with petite princesse, we went out with a bag full of thingies all very important, helpful, necessary and of course very cute (I will just say : hawaiian print

). petite princesse and I are great fans of Petit Bateau, she used to think the brand was made for her and I did not correct her until last winter (petite princesse and petit bateau... I know, I am a lame mother). Autour du Monde is very good too, you three get my "good taste" seal

To day Aqualand

My sincere condoleances on this one....

me drinking coffee, jumping in the pool. Afterwards need to drive back to Decathlon (yeah!) to exchange the speedo goggles they sold me which are not the one shown on the box (shoot). Will end up with a second bag, for sure, superman is fuming....
