Oddly enough, as an over-the-hill hippie, red soda is NOT my association for 'strawberry fields.'

Afternoon Lapsang Souchong, extra smokey, from McNultey's Tea&Coffee!

Holiday here. A day to decorate the tree and to prepare the nativity (presepe). we are discussing were to set it up. It should be in one of the spaces that has been occupied by LittleGirl. She suggested in the garden, the little Macchiavelli. So actually it is a Risiko session. I do not want to give up precious kitchen space. It will have to be in the kitchen where she has established a number of colonies.
Talking of kitchen. Yesterday I used for the first time the chocolate beans that I bought recently. I crushed few of them over this marvelous pasta (bacon onion garlic and fresh tomatoes plus fresh herbs including thyme, rosemary and sage, someting like an amatriciana). The result was extraordinarily good. Not only the crunchiness, but a fine, deep, green of all things, flavor.
To day I will powder few beans and put them on top of the spinach that I plan to steam for the festive lunch: cotechino (a big fat sausage that is cooked for 2 hours) and mashed potatoes.

Traditionally to day opens the skiing season, but there is no snow and Little Girl is too small yet. We will go for a week at the end of February and that will be the occasion for her to learn to ski with us. She had a week of school this Spring, but it was not enough yet. Then, from past experience, I know that further gates of heaven will open for us.

OJ and Skim Milk

beppe, I love your posts. Just saying.

Last night we had a nice break in the routine. I had to attend a briefing near where my Hubby worked. Instead of going home and eating seperatly, we have slightly different schedules, I metroed over to his office and we went out for a really nice pizza dinner at a favorite restaurant of ours.

The dogs where less then thrilled with this, it meant we got home about three hours later then normal, but the two of us had a nice night.

A large, strong Cafe con leche. Today and tomorrow, and the work week from hell is done.

Mmm...an orange mocha. This should buzz me up this morning.

Rooibos Jungle Fire. And I got awesome parking karma today at work. I love it when that happens.

Quake1028 · 12-08-2011, 10:53 AM

Water now. Delightfully buzzed from the Cafe con leche. Tonight we are going to a Japanese steakhouse for dinner for a close friend's birthday, and I just saw they have Oolong on the menu. So I know what I will be drinking tonight
