Champagne Supernova
Friday evening with my brother and his wife* was a fantastically fuzzy episode. Small wonder. In addition to the excessive wine 'sampling', we also made some rather dubious decisions regarding alcohol:
- In the restaurant SJP and I selected marinated olives and Kir Royale as a starter**
- Later in the pub we asked the barman to amaze us with an exciting girly drink of his choice, so he returned with ‘honey vodka’. This smelled and tasted just like whisky. Conclusion: it probably was whisky. What a wise guy. (Unfortunately, this didn't stop us from drinking them.)
- Back at home in the wee small hours, SJP mixed a special cocktail named Tangerine Surprise, the surprise being that it contained a whole tangerine. (Recipe available upon request.)

Consequently, Saturday was a relatively quiet affair.

It is made of grapes and therefore counts as one of one's daily portions of fruit and veg.
Thank you for blogrolling me - I will be back to visit again :).
Excellent point. I will adjust my intake of conventional fruit and veg accordingly.
