Weird looking chicken on that pink plate.
I was poking around the gardener's fridge yesterday and noticed one of the daughter's school water bottles.
It transpired that he is using it to store Ya Dong so that he can drink it chilled when he goes out in the evenings. (he has come off his motorbike twice this year already)

The daughter's at a posh school and I don't reckon they would appreciate her taking in Ya Dong to drink at break time.

Anyway, once poured...

This bottle of Shepherd Neame Kentish Strong Ale is lacking its usual frothy head due to being accidentally dropped on its cap and loosening last week, spurting out a few mouthfuls plus its head of gas.

It actually tastes more like the real pub ale this way without the pepsi level gasiness. I might start doing this to other bottles.

Not drinking from it yet but got given this by a client, can't wait to give it a try but it's Guinness night tonight for the Chels game.

Friday it is. Stock market rolling. Why not have a morning cocktail watching some NBA before I toss a Ribeye on the grill for lunch. :)
That’s the life.
After a week away with work I'm drinking my bodyweight in Leo.
A delicious icy cold Singha.
Lemon flavoured soda water.
Advertised as 0 Kcal 0% sugar. Not really bothered by that lie. :)
The yellow one is delicious, and the only fizzy drink worth drinking.
Pass on the red, orange and red versions.
Morning coffee.
Corporation pop.
Maybe a hot chocolate tonight before bed.
Almost day 14 off the beer.
if you start posting about herbal teas…Quote:

Might give it a go now. Live life on the wild side.
One of the empties from last evening. An Italian friend brought it over and it was a decent drop.

Do you know... you've got me thinking...
I think I'll have a tin of Thatchers!
Mulberry are easy to grow. Just cut a length from a stem stick it in a pot with any old soil and it'll sprout in 2-3 weeks. One of my favourite fruits in Thailand.
Really?
I've always found it rather bland.
We have quite a few Mulberry trees and to educate Mao, they don't have thorns. :)
But I have found the berries to be a bit tart. My wife gets a bowl and adds a bit of sugar and it makes them much better.
But as Toots said, they grow very easy anywhere. You can cut a branch and put in dirt and it will grow.
This is the What are you drinking thread, ladies, not which berries ye grow in yer gardens.
Sheesh, where are the men 'round here.

Its a hot one today 36c. Winter is over. I am enjoying a very healthy Hops and Barley beverage. :)
Maybe the mulberries vary with different trees? We have two trees and I find the mulberries to have a real nothing taste and don't bother picking them any more.
Even the birds and squirrels leave them alone.
As my wife's friend noted, you have to fertilize them well or the fruit is small and bland. I found the smaller leaf trees produce the better tasting berry. The big leaf make a nice tree but the fruit is very tart.Quote:

Hope you sipped it slowly, suns nowhere near down.
Ya know, why do many people feel you need to drink at night? Absolutely nothing wrong with a beverage mid day or even the morning. All depends on what is going on. However LEO is awful 24/7 so best to drink at night and go to sleep to forget about it. :)Quote:

Last night we had 7 friends show up impromptu as they all called each other. Typical Thai beverage gathering. Chang, Singha, Regency and some Lhao Khao. They all seem to hate Leo. I think it's splitting hairs. Chang and Leo are the same. Singha is awful.Quote:

Winner winner Leo not for dinner. :)
No. It's a drink at sunset.Quote:
