Coffee in the morning but a mix of iced water and unsweetened iced tea since.

Always the perfect Friday Night choice. With pizza, of course!

Second black coffee of the day....

DNSB · 07-10-2021, 07:14 PM

Working on my 3rd litre of water for the day.

poohbear_nc · 07-10-2021, 07:30 PM

Lots of H2O here too today!

cromag · 07-10-2021, 08:09 PM

First tea of a busy day.

CRussel · 07-11-2021, 12:17 AM

Yeah, lots of H20 here. Carburated, of course, and with the salts adjusted to mimic those in San Pellegrino.

Hmmm... do you use a single barrel carburator, double barrel carurator or quad barrel carurator? Which leads to wondering just which spellings (carburettor, carburator or carburetor) is correct for Canadians? Though I can't help the horrible suspicion the answer will be any and all.

Oh, all, of course

(after all, a country that can have a garburator instead of a garbage disposer is capable of nearly any atrocity.)

timebug · 07-11-2021, 03:37 AM

Orange juice....

DNSB · 07-11-2021, 12:32 PM

Working on my second cup of coffee while the ambient temperature is still cool enough to enjoy it.

CRussel · 07-14-2021, 01:16 AM

First glass from a new batch of faux San Pellegrino. I had to dig DEEP into my old chemistry skills to rework the formula when I ran out of a key ingredient and Amazon only had a relative of it. (Calls for calcium carbonate - CaCO3 - but I could only order Calcium Chloride - CaCl2. Requiring me to drop the salt (NaCl) to keep the Chloride levels right, and tweek a couple of others to compensate for the lower sodium.)

Good news is, it seems right. Actually, I can't taste a difference, so I must have gotten pretty close. And I'm going through a LOT of it this summer, with the weather we've been having.

Your high school chemistry teacher is beaming at you from the beyond!

Nicely done!

CRussel · 07-14-2021, 05:54 PM

More my college chemistry teachers, I suspect, but it's been a LONG time since I was a chemistry major. (And at least three different careers, I might add!) Trying to remember my moles and atomic weights was a bit of a stretch from my usual.

Enjoying some of that faux San Pellegrino right now.

Has anyone sampled the new Ardbeg Scorch? Matured in "fiercely charred ex-bourbon casks"? After my disappointment with Ardbeg Wee Beastie, I'm reluctant to part with $117 ... but it IS Ardbeg ...
