What is in your cup? - Page 1143

CRussel · 12-02-2011, 03:48 PM

No gifts yet, but a new batch of oranges. Sadly, the Valencia style are done, and these are early season navels. Not much flavour, and not very sweet.

Ah, well, better than bought OJ even so.

Also, my morning Peet's coffee. Still some Holiday Blend in it, but by tomorrow it will be all Major Dickason's.

beppe, I love your enthusiasm!

I completely agree. When we were there earlier this year, my wife and I both said we would love to live in Paris - it's a wonderful city.

Sounds like you are past the finishing post. Well done!

Japanese sencha green tea is in my cup and continuously refilled. I love Chinese gunpowder green tea, too.

Do I agree or disagree?
I think I agree to disagree

I mean, why at night only?

I agree, for Ahn it sounds like a superb solution. Just wouldn't float my boat

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas... almost. OK, so I'm rushing it. Sue me. I like Christmas. I can listen to "The Little Drummer Boy" over and over, especially when it's being sung by 'Celtic Woman!'

Good morning, all. Ahmad English Breakfast tea in my cup today... a quiet Saturday morning, cloudy skies (50% chance of rain) and a bit cold. No big plans today, and maybe a good day to stay in a read.

Pictures, or it didn't happen.

Any 'mikans' in your market yet? They have just come into season here and I have been eating 2-3 every day!

Sadly, no not yet. (They're known as Satsumas here.) I suspect I may not get them here in any quantity, though we sometimes do get a few. But they'd certainly be a better option than the grim little navels I just got a case of.

Earl Grey tea with milk and sugar. Who else is waiting for the "Good" eggnog at the stores? All they have right now is the preserved stuff that is there all year

Stitchawl · 12-03-2011, 01:11 AM

Thinking about it... I don't think I have ever even tasted eggnog! I'll have to try some this year!

O'Keefe's India Pale Ale. Just to confuse everyone.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Orlok. Unless you help me build up a good explanation when my Dad asks why I have a boy in my bedroom. I guess he won't be comfortable with the "keeping warm" excuse.

Or better yet, be in Dad's shoes

Let's ask Orlok what he's gonna do if there's a boy in his daughter's room? What would you want to hear from the little girl?... Think it through. Your advice can save a life.

Think of it as a training process.
You start with a portrait on your night table, Then you put up a poster of a nice looking guy on the wall. Then you get yourself an inflatable reproduction, like an augmented reality sculpture and you have it sitting on a chair for few days. At first dressed up as a financial advisor and then, in small steps you make it more comfortable ... Then you move it on the bed during the day, sitting up amongst your 17th century porcelain dolls. After a bit of this and that you sleep with it. And finally you invite the real one to share the temperature exchange. Dad will not even notice. Or, better, he might get the message.

My, you're incredible. Dad will think I'm in love with an idol.
