Saturday morning meanderings

I glanced at David Warren's column today in the Citizen; I didn't read it all, not being in the mood for his rant. One thing that struck me at a glance, however, is that he takes his coffee with honey. Is this common? The thought of it makes me blanch. Early on in my coffee drinking days I imbibed it black, and then over time switched to adding a bit of milk, mostly to cool it down. I will accept cream, though I don't like the way it changes the flavour of the coffee. Sugar is out - when I accidentally sip Iain's cuppa, I make the same lemon face he makes when he sips mine - so I can't imagine what it would be like with honey. Cloying perhaps?

We're seeing the Fullerton clan this weekend, and it should be fun! Also, we're going to the racetrack for dinner and to watch the races, and to lose some money on wagers. All part of the fun, of course. I enjoy playing the slots, though it isn't the same now that they've eliminated the coins. Something enjoyable about the clink of coins and the heft of the bucket when you take it from machine to machine.

Coffee with honey? Ewww. Gross!

(Of course I can't drink tea with honey either. Tea, black. Coffee, with milk. Like you, I will take cream but prefer not to.)

Have fun with the Fullertons!

Isn't it peas with honey?

It's Winter....

 Not a fan, but winter is something one survives (hopefully) so that spring may occur. I miss Stitches, very much. Fortunately, we have Jasp...
