I'll probably throw down for a wee nip of whiskey, but that'll be the extent of my Christmas Eve-related festivities.
it tastes good... lol. (rolled marzipan,topped with glace cherries/angelica and covered in dark chocolate softened with coconut oil) I felt like messing about in the kitchen today, so that's what turned up to after my roast veg/beer.
So this year's Christmas Eve libation had to be pretty much budget-friendly. The big money from the book royalties starts rolling on the 30th. For tonight, it's Early Times mixed with A&W Creme Soda. Very not-bad.
Did a whole lot of sleeping and getting loose of the flu yesterday. As a result of that, I'm up at 7:08 having already showered and shaved, with a pot of coffee already made, with Scrivener open and a hardware review already laid out and ready to be filled in and zipped off to the webmaster.
I am still congested but a lot less. I shall recover (Few shots of Old Grandad helped).. Feeling tingly..
Yeah, actually, there's the thing -- alcohol helps alleviate fever symptoms due to the fact that -- aside from making one temporarily stupefied and not prone to suffering much of... well... anything... alcohol suppresses core body temperature. Slug down a half dozen shots. Granted, your dreams won't be in any way pleasant, but you will at least get some rest.
As for me, tonight's dinner was quite pleasant. A couple cans of Strongbow to wash down a nice, big, beefy Philly cheesesteak sammich and, on the side, was vaping Johnson Creek's Kiln House Silverthorn. (LGT review.)
of course.... you guys have figured it out already haven't you....? that eating garbage at seasonal festivities makes you sick.... I mean, going by personal observation of peeps i know, 50% of the celebrators of junk food at such times feel poorly for a few days after.... feeling fit here....sipping a malibu red on the rox
I'm still working my way through that six of Strongbow while writing a review of the Innokin iTaste VTR and vaping "Candied Cavendish" from The Plume Room from a Vision X.Jet Spider. But you know what sounds good, while I'm in here in the Cafe? Meatloaf. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes, with a little succotash on the side, and to drink, some strong dark roast coffee with just a little cream and just a touch of sugar.
Now Maddy I was sick before that, I did have Ham and my sister made veggie casarole with cream of mushroom soup (NO MEAT).. Right now I am making soup beans.
I bought a bottle of Malbec the other day, which has been recommended to me before by a store owner whose judgment I trust, but which I had still not tried until last night. It was very good, made all the more surprising because it was a pretty cheap bottle -- $7, I think.
i would be a tad pickle-dee-doo-dahs if i drank a whole bottle in 3 hrs.... might manage in in a day if i didnt mind being woozy...
I hadn't drank any alcohol in over 5 wks & I wanted something that would help me sleep. After I drank it I slept like a baby!
