Wish there was a 'like' button! My husband suggested that I have a drink tonight as 'It's snowing, won't you want whisky?'!

Sherry gone. Cheap brandy bought for setting fire to, gone. Marsala bought for sauces and gravy, gone. Wine, beer, gin, all gone - obviously. Port, tragically, always the first casualty.


Survivors:

Whisky, quite a lot left to hold our hands through the nights ahead.

The emergency, shop-bought Christmas pudding is still in its dischordant red crinkly wrapping, with a best-before date of about 2028 protecting its modesty. And animal fats, poured off various roasts, sit solidly in little pots at the back of the fridge - globular relics of the slaughtered beasts we feasted on, pulled crackers over, picked apart late at night with a guilty sideways glance.



(PS Have never managed to sustain a "drinks cabinet" like proper grown up people. It's a bottle to bottle existence in the Max household. If there's booze in, it gets drunk and then we get some more when required.)

We'll drink most anything down here in the better postcodes, RedD. That includes the sort of weird half bottles people unload on you at house parties: advocaat, peach schnapps, drambuie, drinks with "Tropical" written on their labels, gins called things like "Medway's Old Sodomy" and the like.


Never had Dubonnet, though I do have cinamonn sticks, so I am ready to go if I can get my hands on a quarter bottle.


Moos, you have reminded me I have some weird cocoa bean type snack things kicking about. Came from Germany so they did. They are calling to me now.

Quids' Hot Toddy (PP)


1 Cinnamon Stick

'Drop'* of Brandy

4 cans of Stella


*one of the ?2.99 quarter bottles does the job


Heat in a pan...or in a plastic bowl in the Microwave. Drink quickly.


Will have you out shouting at Gritter Lorries and snowballing the top deck of the 176 before you can say "'don't know what came over me m'lud"

Cheesey footballs and Martini - it was that kind of Xmas - together with the remains of House of Tippler's Honeycomb liquer and a tin of something called Fiocchi di Neve which turn out to be SOFT amaretti and are disgusting.


Tonight I shall be adding spiced rum to lemsip. It's medicinal.

Dear God, turn your back for a second and your tropics are being discussed. I thought better of you, EP.


Ted, just finished a bottle of Gruener Veltliner and opened the next. There'll be trouble when I'm found out but it's worth it, the dry flavoursome little Austrian minx.


The Amaretti are a goner.

    • But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.
    • I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
    • Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.
    • The Reform Party has surely taken the Conservatives and Labour by surprise? I’ve been a Conservative voter since the age of 18 and voted for them in the General Election last Summer. Sadly Labour were elected but their policies on so many issues have been their downfall as they did not stick to them.
