What Are You Drinking Tonight?

[Tree09]

Drinking season? I've never needed a special season for it lol

Drinking season starts when it's fit to be outside. Around the 50s is pretty good. It ends in the spring when it becomes unfit to be outside. I make some exceptions like last night. That was more aspirational than anything, but the air smelled good, so I made an exception. The sky wasn't as clear as I'd like. Had a bit of a haze going on. I like it crisp enough you could cut diamonds with it. A few clouds are tolerable, especially when they interact with a bright moon.

Yeah, that's all when it starts...in Maryland. Year round in the northern hemisphere!

Today I decided to try a drink that was given to me the day before yesterday for the demolition of three powerful poplars. Very nice whiskey.

According to the Russian tradition, every new thing is necessarily sprinkled with wine (vodka, cognac, gin, etc.)! (I bought some strings today) Therefore, today I decided to try the author's wine N5, soaked in the Crimean sun -

Dalmore 12yr, and not a Swedish candle. I suddenly came into possession of a bunch of white pine branches, and this is a good use for them.

Troegs gingerbread cookie stout leftover from last jul. I emptied the box to catch the bat earlier this year.

Drinks consumed outdoors are always tastier

Saw this at the grocery today and had to try it...



It's really good. Just sparkling water and hops. Expensive. I think it was $5/4pack, and it was a discount grocer. With any luck it won't sell well and the price will drop. Worth it for the experience, but too much money to drink all the time.

I'm having a Reed's Strongest ginger brew. Tasty. I think ginger has been used medicinally more for it's ability to distract you from what's really wrong with you more than anything else.

I saw one of those recently, I think they were considerably more expensive than $5. Will give it a try.

I just started drinking filtered tap water recently. Regular city tap water was fine imo and all I drank for 60+ years, except for the occasional poland spring which tasted very good. My wife drinks filtered water so one day I did a blind taste test- filtered vs city tap. Filtered was the clear winner so I've been drinking that since.

Just fyi, not exactly a fun booze post

My tap water isn't bad, but you can sometimes taste the chlorine. I have a dripping faucet in the kitchen, and I keep a glass under it. That lets the water air out, and it tastes better than it does fresh from the tap.

We are lucky, well water. Full of minerals....

I prefer Deer Park and some other spring waters, though DP has 2 flavors one of which isn't good, and I'm still not sure if it has to do with me or which spring they get if from.

I have a good well, but it does need a softener. The farm has the best spring water. Lucky to have.
