I caught up with Prue and her sister Trude who is down for a few days.
We shared a couple of bottles of bubbles with dips and biscuits (crackers).
It was getting late when I staggered walked home so I was pleased I had prepped dinner. Chicken Tikka Masala and very nice it was with crunchy pappadums and green veg.
I found this in the supermarket the other day. Add it to white wine with some soda water and it makes a very quaffable drink on a hot day.
We had the Metricon warranty people here and they have "fixed" the whistling windows. We shall wait for the next windy day to test the fix. They looked at our other issues and made encouraging noises but we shall see what eventuates. I am not holding my breath.
A busy day tomorrow so I shall head to bed.
I love ginger drinks! My current favorite is one I make with ginger, turmeric, fresh limes and honey, blended with water. You could add soda water, or a spirit, too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious. Do you use dried turmeric?
DeleteYes, and since I made a small ordering mistake, checked wrong box, I have a lifetime supply.
DeleteI wish we could get something like that. All we have with no sugar is coke zero.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for a couple of bottles of bubbles and good company
That's a very bleak offering!
DeleteThat cordial looks great, I LOVE ginger, I will look for it in Melbourne. I’m quite liking the limoncello spritz sold in Dan’s and bottle shops, over ice with a slice of lemon, very refreshing. Marie, Cheltenham
ReplyDeleteIt was the Brown Bros spritz that got me thinking. I found this in the cordial aisle at Woolies.
DeleteI like the sound of the bubbles.
ReplyDeleteThe bubbles were lovely - as was the company.
DeleteI bought a can of alcoholic ginger beer to taste but it's sat in the fridge for a couple of weeks. I'll get to it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it whistles but a decent north wind rips through the north facing apartments here and out the gap under their front doors. Is it a north wind when you get the whistling?
Our whistling is worse with a south westerly wind. It blows straight up from the ocean.
DeleteI spent a pleasant afternoon last summer drinking alcoholic ginger beer at the local outdoor bar. It's when you stand up you realise how potent it is!
I hope the whistling windows are fixed. I like non-alcoholic ginger beer. It's my once a year Christmas treat, I buy a couple of four-packs at the supermarket.
ReplyDeleteA little ginger is lovey for perking up anything it’s added too
ReplyDeleteGlad you “walked” home safely
Ginger is always a treat, isn't it?
