A little break in the weather
I’ll finish my drinks test tomorrow night. Today it’s all too much for me: I look at the array of bottles and think I shall never touch liquor again. More than that, I think I shall have an early night and sleep heaps. I didn’t get a hangover, but I did get a cold. The drinks (oddly) got rid of most of the sneezing and sniffing and I’m left with a faint fever and a vast, vast exhaustion. It isn’t just the cold. For many reasons (not just the ones I’ve blogged) it has been a very big week.
I tested one more recipe last night. #11. That means just two more to go. What’s more, I’ve swapped it with one of the other sour drinks – the balance of this one is just so much better. Not too much sugar or too much sour.
Karen checked out a couple of non-alcoholic drinks yesterday. Her view was that both were OK. One was “was a little ‘cloudy’ at first, but not unattractively so” and the other was sweet and might appeal to those who like sweet things, which sounds pretty fair.
Where does this leave us? There are five (possibly six) alcoholic cocktails that have gone through for further thinking and two non-alcoholic. A good week’s work, I think.
If I’m not quite so tired, I’ll extend the week by a day and taste the last two drinks in my list tomorrow. Or maybe Sunday. And then I’ll only have the testing of others to report and will be able to go back to normal business. Normal business includes five community cookbooks about which I very much want to tell yout.
