Coffee matters to me more than is perhaps entirely healthy. We've previously discussed my delight in the fruit of the vine. I am a celebrant of all things beverage. You'd suppose such as I would be well-hydrated and possibly slim.
Today I made a lovely concoction for myself; a vigin Cape Cod. This amounted to Cranberry juice with crushed ice and a cocktail umbrella. The real adult beverage has a bit of Vodka thrown in. I am, as you know, exploring ways to add more creativity to my beverage opptions, while keeping the alcohol content to a minimum. The virgin Cape Cod was too sweet. Not that that stopped me.
I find that alcohol is not really something that I crave. What I want is the specialness of a drink. I got straws at the dollar store that have those paper parasols right on them, and those help. I also found plastic stir-sticks shaped like pink flamingos, and those help too. I found that anything blended with ice lifts my spirits. Chosing the right glass is fun; anything tastes better in crystal.
Kara came over for lunch today, and we ate in the dining room with china and candles and music. It was lovely. She had a real Cape Cod, and seemed tickled that there was an umbrella on her straw. She talks about football even at a ladies luncheon. She is entirely obsessed with BSU football. But she's also fond of my cooking, so that enthusiasm covers a multitude of sins.
But we were talking about drinks.
Which makes me thirsty.

I'm sorry are you saying that being overly enthusiastic about football is a sin??? or just talking about it at a ladies luncheon? I'm confused.
I AM completely and totally in love with your cooking however. That part is true. And the umbrella was a very nice touch. But the company was actually my favorite part, truth be told.
I'm coming to your house for lunch more often! Thank you SO much for the music and the food, and for just being you!
love you!
even if you don't want to talk about BSU football.
