Just to start this off: :mug:

It has a good heat to it, a steamy nose, a touch of tannin, some flavinoids and a dash of milk

by **pattajakcake** » April 7th, 2010, 8:36 am

Had my wake-up coffee :mug:

so now it's on to the good old filtered water :chops:

Website · by **cheshire-cheese** » April 7th, 2010, 11:28 am

The only filtered water I have at home has been filtered through a bed of malted barley before having preservatives (from Humulus lupulus) added to it.

by **pattajakcake** » April 7th, 2010, 11:44 am

Only so much filtered water I can take,now having a good cup of tea

by **nursemimi** » April 7th, 2010, 2:13 pm

Coffee and lots of it.

At the minute I am looking forward to going and pouring a small glass of very dry sherry from the bottle stored safely in the fridge. During the rest of today it has been ginger and lemon tea, chicken broth and copious amounts of water.

Gee Burt, I'm kinda thirsty...

by **MrsWWoof** » April 7th, 2010, 5:25 pm

Peppermint Tea and cold filtered water at work but now, after a crappy day at work - a nice vodka with mango juice and lots of ice. Just a shame the sun's not out because it tastes much better when sitting outside on the patio with the sun shining down.

by **Riocaz** » April 7th, 2010, 5:27 pm

I have a nice big mug of tea

by **Zosherooney** » April 7th, 2010, 5:41 pm

A very large glass of blackcurrent and fizzy water, tonight is a night off the demon alchohol, should have been last night but immindoors was already into his first beer when I got home at 5.30pm !!!!!

On the subject of drink.............I have just heard that the cider tax has been dropped. Hurrah for that, it is my poison, problem is I have 10 x 3 litre bottles in the garage I bought when they said it was going up from the day they announced it. Oh well, it should last well into the Summer ! :lol:

Hi Ian, I won't vote for them so they won't get in !!!!!! :twisted:

I think the young of this country (who love their cider and "do" computers) will lobby Soooooooo hard that Labour will abandon this ridiculous tax. I for one will go and live on a Greek Island because everything that affects me gets taxed sooner or later in this country !!!! Gets off podium !!!!!

Needless to say I am now happily drinking a glass of Frosty Jack cider with 10 more bottles in the garage that will not not be affected by this tax rise AAaaaah !!!!!

Cheers!

by **tezza** » April 8th, 2010, 8:40 pm

Just snuffling down a rather large glass of red wine while me and OH watch a bit of Tiger Woods. :cocktail:

Nice!

OH has a can of Fosters on the go.

Can we have a beer smiley please Riocaz? :hug:

by **frenchcheesequeen** » April 8th, 2010, 9:29 pm

Not drinking it right now but also a fan of Frosty Jack cider. I keep a large bottle in the fridge and often use it in place of white wine - the alcohol content is lower and the taste delicious. A sort of low alcohol cava type from a full bottle and a bit chardonnayish when flat.

by **Zosherooney** » April 8th, 2010, 10:03 pm

Hi FCQ, glad to hear you are a fan, I must have a go at cooking with it. Cheers ! My OH hates it but I bet a can sneek some by him in a dish !!!

by **amazing** » April 8th, 2010, 10:47 pm

I'm having a large vodka with diet coke and lots of ice.

Website · by **cheshire-cheese** » April 9th, 2010, 6:34 pm

Glass of sherry :cocktail:

by **frenchcheesequeen** » April 9th, 2010, 7:11 pm

I am trying not to drink to lose the weight and only have gin, whisky and Frosty Jack in the kitchen. But I am dribbling at the thought of that sherry CC has in his mitt. A nice dry fino and some salted almonds would go down very well at the moment.

Get thee behind me Satan. Or shall I walk into town for a bottle? That would burn up some calories too.

Website · by **cheshire-cheese** » April 9th, 2010, 7:12 pm

smoked almonds? :chops:

by **frenchcheesequeen** » April 9th, 2010, 7:16 pm

I am not that keen on the smoked ones - I can only eat about half a dozen before my mouth loses all sense of taste. Elisabeth David's recipe from Spices, Salt and Aromatics in the English Kitchen is the business. I buy the big bags of almonds from Holland and Barratt and make them fresh when I want them. Something else that has not been tasted for a while until the weight goes. Only another thirteen weeks to go.

by **frenchcheesequeen** » April 10th, 2010, 3:24 pm

I think you should all know that CC has led me on the road to rack and rooney. If I fail to reach my target weight it is all his fault.

A fino by the left, some salted almonds on the right.

And he has started me off re-reading Elizabeth David again.

by **MrsWWoof** » April 10th, 2010, 3:40 pm

A glass of Crabbies Alcoholic Ginger Beer with ice and a slice of lemon. Perfect whilst enjoyed sitting in the garden in the sunshine that we have at the moment :cocktail:

I'm sure was on offer when I bought it in Sainsbury's

It's going down very nicely and I thought what a bargain until I found it's normal price. Still, it's good and zesty with a big punch of melon up the nose

by **scientist22** » April 29th, 2010, 3:59 am

Single malt Islay scotch (that was my two drinks in the evening not at 5.59 in the morning)

by **tezza** » April 29th, 2010, 9:22 am

A delicious and non nutritious can of diet coke. Freezing cold from the fridge and full of fizzy bubbles. Delightful. :chops:

by **Zosherooney** » April 29th, 2010, 5:56 pm

I have my cider cocktail which consists of half and half of Merrydown gold and silver label. Gold is too sweet and Silver is too dry but my mix suits my palete just right ! Hic.....

by **Luca** » April 29th, 2010, 6:08 pm

Having just battled unsuccessfully with a government website for the better part of an hour only to have the site go down for maintenance before I'd finished :twisted:

...................................

I'm having a self prescribed glass of whisky!

by **Riocaz** » April 29th, 2010, 6:14 pm

sounds like a plan Luca

by **Luca** » April 29th, 2010, 6:39 pm

It's certainly hitting the spot and I don't feel like swearing at the computer anymore... mind you if I could get my hands on the people who run that site then I might have to be restrained!!!

I think I may even to progress to wine.

Website · by **cheshire-cheese** » April 29th, 2010, 7:05 pm

I'm currently supping the end result of a Brupaks beer kit, Colne Valley Bitter. Drinking whilst I eat my dinner and contemplate brewing a white beer

by **tezza** » April 29th, 2010, 7:27 pm

I'm having a cheeky chilled glass of Chardonnay which is accompanying my veggie stir fry superbly. :bounce:

Time for a refill very soon!

by **StokeySue** » April 30th, 2010, 6:22 pm

First PIMMS of the season

Woo-hoo!

Had forgotten quite how nice it is

by **tezza** » April 30th, 2010, 6:26 pm

Just poured a well deserved goldfish bowl (not literally) of red wine. Cheers everyone and have a good weekend! 8-)

by **Gruney** » April 30th, 2010, 7:00 pm

Just returned from a couple of pints of Marston's Pedigree, and now to have a glass or two of Primitivo from the Puglia region, with my dinner.

by **frenchcheesequeen** » April 30th, 2010, 7:03 pm

I am drinking an Arniston Rose which is very quaffable.

by **karadekoolaid** » May 1st, 2010, 12:36 am

It's been a long day. I've finally finished cooking and am settling down to some utterly brainless detective tale on the TV, with a glass of Concha y Toro Frontera Carmenère red. Light, fruity, fresh - and good grief, I'll have to get another!! :cocktail:

by **Riocaz** » May 1st, 2010, 5:11 pm

I have just put 2 beers in the fridge one brewed ginger beer for dad, and a Bernard Dark for me.

And another Bernard dark in the freezer.

by **tezza** » May 1st, 2010, 8:12 pm

I am quaffing a freezing cold glass of Cava. This has accompanied my Jersey Royal, avocado & cress salad, purple sprouting broccoli & dollop of hummus dinner perfectly. :chops:
