Drink?

BardoXV • Apr 19, 2014 11:30 am
I thought the forum was about food and "Drink" but I can't find any threads about 'Drink'. I start out with coffee in the morning, and wine in the evening, sometimes juice between. I like a good, cheap, somewhat sweet, red wine. Right now Taylor Cream Sherry is my wine of choice. Inexpensive in a 3 liter bottle.

I'm not big on alcohol mostly. But currently am all out of pot and no more on the horizon for a couple of weeks at least so...

Bit partial just now to the odd bottle of Hooch

Coffee, newly roasted, freshly ground with a burr grinder, brewed with a high precision Japanese coffee maker, using Brita-filtered water, and poured into a dirty mug with too much half and half so all the benefits of that nerdy attention to detail are lost.

plain H20 first thing in the morning, then coffee or tea, then sometimes some kind of juice like artichoke, pennwort, carrot, etc., the rest of the day would be plain H20, after lunch is usually green tea, then in the evening is mainly water and sometimes skim milk when I get hungry.

Water through the night, a gulp of kefir as the coffee brews... One cup at home, one at work.. Then water water water all day at work... Vodka mixed with juice when I get home then back to water before bed. Rinse, repeat.

Ohhh -- 'bout anything, really.

Last remarkable thingie was Irish coffees, from scratch, for St. Paddy's Day, with whipped cream straight from the Kitchenaid. No trick at all except just how stiff you whip the cream. Nothing else to it but streaming in a little sugar. Or Splenda if you'd rather or must.

I've recently been craving pink grapefruit juice.
I get ever so thirsty at work, especially on bakery, and there is always juice available at breakfast in the canteen. It's subsidised, but in general I never have any credit on my key fob in the last ten days of the month, so I drink chilled water and sit and lust impotently at the carton of pink grapefruit.

No doubt I'll buy some on payday and my unholy obsession with it will abate.
I feel the same about cold fizzy drinks some months.
It's what you can't have that appeals the most...
Oddly this doesn't apply to alcohol, probably because although I want it, it's more that I mustn't have it, rather than that it's out of reach for practical reasons.

Coffee: in the mornin', at noon, in the after-, in the evenin'.

Coffee all the time.

A gallon of cold press coffee every day.

I used to do that, last cup right before bed time, and coffee never kept me awake. I was also chewing about 4-6 Tums every day. Then I figured out that something was wrong when I took a sip one morning and my stomach started to churn. So I stopped for awhile but now I'm back but just one pot in the morning, then I drink something else the rest of the day.

Manzanilla Sherry

No, Grav.
You are much more appealing than that.

Ick.

Dry vermouth THEN add sugar?!

Why bother with dry? Why not just use sweet vermouth?
infinite monkey • Apr 27, 2014 1:22 pm
because they aren't the same thing.

"more coffee for me and hq!"

No! All MINE!

WAR!

Coffee in the morning, water throughout the day. NO soda

Speyburn Bradan Orach. Spiritous nose, light of body, inexpensive as single malts go at distinctly under twenty dollars. Some might say it hasn't much character. I'd say that it is simple. It's a malt I might make a whisky sauce with, and most malts I wouldn't. Except as a show of conspicuous consumption.

I am drinking some wonderfully strong/slightly bitter, slightly sweet English Breakfast tea. The first of two pitchers (32oz-ish) I am trying to limit myself to while at work.

An insulated mug filled with;

4 ice cubes
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp. instant coffee
1 pkt splenda
2 shots of milk

fill with ice cold water, stir, drink then stay out of the way. This is my go to drink of choice when work needs doing and I'm short on time.
