Juan Valdiz Colombian Arabica in my coffee mug.

The little tea cup holder that slides in and out of my computer tower seems to be broken... Fortunately there are two of them, so no worries.

Time for a glass of rum!

Time for a nice fresh smoothy. Without bananas...

I made a lot of fresh orange juice yesterday (over a liter), added 3 peaches, some blackberries (freshly picked from the bush outside), some plums (freshly picked from the neighbours (by them!)). Added it all in the blender. And then into my jug.

And this morning I saw the bananas I had also planned to go in there...

Edit: oh, there's also a bit of acacia honey in there... Fresh from my mother's neighbour

Beef barley soup.

That is a good idea.
There is this old lady in my street, she is from Tahiti, and cooks on order. We had caramelized pork with perfumed rice, and shrimp beignets with a pink sauce, but so sweet, mellow and good. Little daughter just loved it.

Drinks? We had a Bitter Campari, first and S. Nicolas de Bergeuil with the dinner. It is one of the few French wines in purity, maybe the only one. It is a Cabernet Franc, you can drink it cool. I mean one can drink wines the way one wants. Imagine. But this one is supposed to be cool. It was not extraordinary, no punch, no challenge, maybe because it costs only 5 tallers. But I would like to find a good one for less than 10 to take home, a case or two. Nice in warm weather. There is wine shop in town, I will try with him.

For Friday the lady could make for us a Tahitian salad whose main attraction is raw tuna marinated in Lemmon juice. I'll order it tomorrow.

The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
In Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
And we are going to graceland

Best concert he's ever done!

Good morning, ALL! Glorious day out today! A bit hot, but I'm in front of the air/con and don't notice it. Music in my brain as I woke was with this real solid beat, getting me up an running quickly!

I guess that means I need a jumping sort of breakfast. How about.... China Black tea and a plate of toasted multi-grain bread covered with mango puree? Sound good?

IS good!

Morning, Stitchawl.

I am about to go to sleep. I shouldn't have slept today during the day, now I am not tired in the evening

Orange Juice, before I move on to Coke Zero #1.

I hope you were able to restock your stash... I saw your post saying you were down to a 2-day supply and were beginning to get the shakes worrying about running out. Tough being an addict, isn't it?

Pounding away at the ice tea these afternoons... Weatherman says we will get a reprieve from the heat and humidity tomorrow, but for now, only ice tea will help!

Lipton Ice Tea.

I wonder why it is that Lipton served hot is soooo incredibly bad but Lipton made into iced tea is so very good? Even their powdered instant unsweetened stuff tastes better to me than my very best teas made cold.

Strange...

Morning all. I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks, though only going away on Sunday for a few days (local trip "down-south") due to other commitments.

The usual Rooibos in my cup. Have been thinking of trying it chilled, if we get a warm day (heavily overcast at the mo - UK summertime

)

ProfCrash · 08-18-2011, 07:23 AM

OJ. Happily listening too and watching puppies romp around the basement.

It is good to be home

Have a good one!

I've replaced tea with coffee these last couple of weeks. So in my cup: cappuccino!

Skibble · 08-18-2011, 08:07 AM

Morning, all! Diet Coke for me. Diet Coke and laundry.

ProfCrash · 08-18-2011, 09:52 AM

Pot one of Rooibos Cream Carmel. Yummy.

In my new mug at work. It even has my name.
