Anyone for a nightcap?

[LilyBart]

I can't, or won't comment on scotch at the risk of horribly offending anyone or everyone. I just never acquired a taste. Now a really nice vodka, OTH...

Tonight was a Hess chard (breaking my "no school-night" rule re: wine) however it was perfect with the lemon/dill salmon and salad for dinner.

And I allowed myself the wine because I finally got over my silly fried bologna phase.

But, man....that was one sweet two-night phase......

Thats it I'm getting a bottle of laphroig tomorow it's been a long week! I wish I had the self control to maintain a drinks cabinet. Once opened usualy finnished.

Hess makes a fine little cabernet. Mmmmm.....

Too bad there's no one around with whom to share it.

Sorry I missed you, yanks.

I am drinking Estancia Chard, and pondering life...

I'm home after 10 days away. And no nightcaps while gone (more or less.)

I think I have a lot to catch up on.

ITW?

Drinking my budget Smoking Loon tonight....just happy to be in my own town......
at least on my own mattress...

What does "going down really ell" really mean?

Seriously....I have new European clients and I feel out of the linguistic loop. Typos no longer allowed, by the way. That really messes with my reality.....

Yummy smoking loon. Mattress sounds good...heading there now, I think.

Newcastle! I know that name. Not sure I ever had it though.

Sweet dreams I'm departing to the land of Nod myself shortly.

Bonterra Chard tonight....one glass in honor of Father's Day. Although a more appropriate salute to my late father might be a martini. When I was a little girl,when he came home from work, I would sit in his lap and tell him about my day, while he had his martini. He always let me have the gin soaked olive.

I am not a gin drinker by any means...but give me an olive marinated in gin and I am transported right back to my childhood. Okay, that sounds like my parents encouraged childhood inebriation; they didn't. But my father died while I was still a young girl and I think I am missing him very much right now....

Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there.

Newcastle is delightful. A bit dark for summer for some people, but not I.

Tonight was a great mai tai out and mediocre shrimp salad along with fantastic Tom Yum soup, so score two out of three for that place.

 

[intothewoods]

Daaaamn I need a drink, bitches! It's so weird that they frown on drinking at my office. Waddup with that?

Oh well. Drinky will have to wait. Sadly, I have actual work to do.

An Absolut Citron and Tonic is calling my name right now. Its far too hot for anything else today and I am just plain sick of water at the moment.

And my friends consider me a snob...

A very plebeian gin and tonic before a wineless dinner. Apparently I'm on a half-assed wagon.

Actually, I was out of the Absolut. I had to settle for Grey Goose.

Of course, this is from a woman who drinks $5.99/bottle Smoking Loon....
(and Bud Lite Lime)

p.s. my weekday wine-wagon has helped me shed the pounds I wanted to shed without having to change any other part of my diet...

I simply don't get the hoopla over different vodkas. Perhaps I'm just not as subtle about my hooch as I'd need to be to ride in the vodka parade.

Smoking Loon, or Pre-cancerous Bird as it's known around here, is a wise choice. I will not say the same about that near-beer you mentioned.

Dude, I tried that and did not lose a pound. Should I try again? So far I'm just being mercilous about my food, and it seems to be dropping. And those burpees, or whatever they're called, if Homburg happens to read this.

Thats just because you like your scotch.
Actually, I am quite fine with rail-equivalent vodka, since I don't drink it straight. But I do like the citrus vodkas...

And stop making fun of my beer. *hands on hips, glaring*

Serious...I lost about 10 lbs in 2 months or so. But I eat more or less healthy and smallish portions most of the time. Other than my periodic fried bologna binges. But we won't talk about that... (and what earth is a burpee? and do I want to know...?)

Any product that markets itself as a cross between beer and a soft drink deserves all the mocking that we can dish out.

I think that's what they're called but I'm too lazy to go check. You stand, then squat down and push your legs out to push up position, do a push up, jump your legs back and then jump up, or rather, return to standing with a jump. The jump part is critical, according to Homburg. They're not that bad, but then I did like 5 in a row and they did kick my tush the first time. But then they got easier. I think my muscles went - huh whaaa? oh right, sure, okay.

10 lbs? Argh. That makes me annoyed. I did it for three weeks without losing a thing. Maybe I should do it again. I have been drinking more, so there's more to cut out. Plus you just did work week? That's good. I can live with that. Mister Man needs to cut back on drinking, so it would be a support for him as well. 'Cause I'm generous like that.

Mister Man bought some sort of Miller beer product and said it was awful, and then tried to get me to drink it! I looked at him like he was insane. As if I would drink anything involving the names Miller, Bud, Coors et al. Hullo, I'm a snob! And while I try to be open-minded (i.e., I might try a fried bologna sandwich for shits and giggles), that is just beyond the pale.

When this temporary infatuation with Mister Man cools down, let me know. We snobs ought to stick together.

Sigh...does that mean you guys won't be my friend? Just because of an occasional Bud Light?

Fine...you guys hang out with the cheerleaders...I'll stay in the library with the geeks...or something like that...

Oh wait! You two weren't flirting were you? If so...never mind....
