What's in your glass?

[whatagain]

Leffe is one of my favorites. I visited the abbey not long ago.
Right now I had a Rochefort. A brown beer.
Than a Corsican wine.

I'm having a Sapphire martini with a small twist of orange zest to go with this cool, damp, overcast afternoon. Life is good.

Hello again!
Aperol Spritz for me.

[whatagain]

A glass of Gigondas.

I like to pronounce it the Flemish way, the g being close to sh

So it gives sheeshondass (but more guttural)

I had a glass of gazpacho with lunch today.

I had a really excellent yellow fiery Thei curry for dinner and only wanted water with it. I'm having some wine now that the fire has died.

Hello again!

And hello to you! Very nice to see you here. I would raise my glass to you, but it's only early afternoon here, so will just toast you with my coffee cup.

Hope life has been treating you well.

This is not actually in my glass, because I lapped it down all too quickly.

Anyway ~~

I woke up to rain this morning & it rained all day long. In an attempt to entertain myself, I was forced to resort to housework, something I only do to remain an acceptable human being. Finally, at dusk, the rain let up. The dogs & I went for a long walk.
I came home and realized it was easily cocktail o'clock,

Because I have barely a splash of Hendrick's left, but also know that there is some on the way due to my pouncing on a deep discount offer, I thought I should avail myself of a heftier than usual evening drink.

Thus I made myself something I dubbed "The Kon-Tiki" ~ three ounces (!) of Hendrick's + an ounce of Cinzano extra dry + @3/4 ounce water shaken with many mini ice cubes. Poured that into a chilled martini glass, then dropped in two anchovy stuffed olives and floated in a raft of 5 tiny cucumber spears on a toothpick. Added some mini cubes and enjoyed the heck out of it.

To celebrate this new very cool month in Paris, I made an excellent caïpiriha.

I just had a nice little martini with Bombay Sapphire, Cinzano Extra Dry, & one pimento-stuffed olive. This was to recover from having gone to Costco and because I'm having lunch at an odd time on a rainy day & thought the martini was called for.

Celebrating a quiet late Sunday afternoon with a martini of my favorite Thomas Dakin with three(!) anchovy-stuffed olives.

Life on the edge.

Are you hungry or thirsty?

[bixaorellana]

Needed roughage.

White wine in a glass full of ice cubes is excellent when the temperature is above 33°.
