you only do it for a minute. some of it cooks off but not all, so you either add brandy to keep things strong or you drink wine that's just a bit weaker.

I've got the ingredients, but can i check with you that the two tablespoons of cloves is correct, because it seems like rather a lot?

Ok, I've tasted poo. Here's how it happened. When we were kids a friend had a skate ramp in his backyard. We skated there so much we should have just moved in. Anyways, onto the poo tasting. He had a cat and someone loved to slip a cat bomb from the liter box in people's drinks when you weren't looking. I'm not the only one. All my friends are well versed in cat bomb tasting. Everyone just started drinking water because you can see 'crap' floating in it. See what I did there! Yes, I have warped friends.

I've been testing these cordials for a week now. They don't have the sweetness a lot of ordinary cordials tend to have, and this is good. I'm using sparkling water, mainly. By far, the best so far is blackcurrant & liquorice.

As I've got older I become more concerned about what could have happened to food or drinks that other people have been involved with. I'm very picky now. In a social situation I will buy something bottled and drink from the bottle as it's difficult for someone to muck about with, and also who knows what has gone on in the cellars. And food, too. Eating establishments. God only knows. I know a couple of good places. Went to one today. I think it is a place that has 'friends' that are on its committee, who look after it, and that they are gentry, I think, Dukes and the like, and the place is astonishing. and the kitchen like nothing else, all home cooked, being made then and then as you order. A real gem, better than anything, and all in a small quiet backwater you would never expect, a real secret. We just chanced upon it. My only complaint is that the teapot comes only half full, so you are lucky to get a cup of tea each, and the exquisite tea set (not traditional, but like Tiffanny) cups are quite small. But I dare not say anything as it seems too unpolite. This kind of thing happens in situations like this. I heard a story where a lady reached over a man's blancmange and her handkerchief fell out from under her cuff and onto his pudding, and to not cause any embarrassment he ate it.

But most places to me I think are not so good or clean, so i don't eat out anymore

Hahaha, that is soooo funny. Most recipes say about 4 cloves, and you're willy nilly giving precise measurements of a whole jar! Soooo funny. Brill

I bought these fruit bars and blend it with Stoli. The pineapple and coconut is my favorite.

That is a fantastic idea to use foods like that. I could blend a mince pie for Christmas, etc. Thanks. Thinking out side the box and disregarding established rules. I bet you are full of great ideas. I'm the same myself. It's the pioneer way

Speaking of beverages, I spent 20 bucks for 1 beer at the new Acrishure Arena in Palm Desert last nite at The Doobie Bros. Doobies were meh!!

 

[fooferdoggie]

man you guys are a bunch of lushes and not safe to drive e bikes

 

[duggie]

Jin and juice thirsty?

Not booze for me. I was thinking of just blending something with milk. A mince pie shake. Booze, it's just ethanol. Not stolid, ethanol. So that drink would be pineapple and coconut with ethanol. It's de-icer, dry cleaning fluid. Ethanol. It's all ethanol. Gin, vodka, whiskey.....ethanol. Cleaning fluid. Give me mince pie shake anytime.

It's just a virtual pub thing to get through winter, being down the pub with your pals having a laugh and chit chat to keep the spirit up. I mean, 2 tablespoons of cloves! So funny.

Guys, what’s your favorite "winter" drink? I’m always looking for cozy, warm beverages to enjoy, especially during the colder months. I love a good hot chocolate or mulled wine occasionally, but I’m also on the lookout for something healthier I can sip on in the evenings. I’ve recently started working at night, and it’s definitely been a bit challenging to stick to healthy eating habits. Aside from tea, do you have any go-to nighttime drinks that aren’t packed with sugar or caffeine? I’ve been trying to find something satisfying that won’t disrupt my sleep or health goals. So far, I came across this 12-hour night shift meal plan https://betterme.world/articles/12-hour-night-shift-meal-plan/ and I’m thinking of giving it a try. It looks like it has some great options for balancing late-night eating with maintaining energy and health.

Water is always the best option.
