Some nice dark coffee would be wonderful, thanks. It'd a sleepy, rainy morning and I think it will be a do-nothing day.

We're mostly back to normal here, except that Dude has decided he might be a lap cat after all. He's also back to pacing and howling to going outside. I might have to put that catio together after all.

Good evening everyone. Draclvr, the Reserve Kenya coffee was marvelous this morning. Connie, I enjoyed the danish this morning. The day was long but fruitful and now it's time for bed. Have a wonderful evening all.

Oh my ... it's time to rise and shine

Good morning everyone. I've brought Sumatra Mandheling Coffee with Scottish Breakfast tea and bottled Fiji water for the Break Room today.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thursday!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Another weather alert day today. So far most of the weather has been north of us. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Nice to see you this morning, soot and Connie! I'll grab a cup of that Sumatra coffee, please! For anyone who is having chilly weather I've brought something new I discovered... instant hot cocoa made by Land O Lakes. This is NOT your old instant cocoa from the grocery store! Super creamy and tastes SO much better! I got a box with different flavors and had a cup of the Salted Caramel Cocoa last night. Hubby tried the Chocolate Supreme and said it was wonderful.

Nothing much on the plate today. Took off another 9 racks of dried tomato slices this morning.

League bowling tonight!

Drac, I am looking at the Land O Lakes hot cocoa variety packs on Amazon right now and they look wonderful! I may have to give these a try.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all.

It's really cold this morning. I've got the landscaper coming over to winterize my watering system since we should be getting enough rain now to keep the garden alive.

Not much to do today otherwise. I've got my group this afternoon, which will give me a chance to do a bit of shopping and then we're back to watching Lupin.

I’ve been “re-discovering” my enjoyment of Horlicks.
Loved it as a child and am still very much liking it now 👍👍

Mad, I had to look up what Horlicks is! I love the taste of malt, so would probably like it too!

I just looked up Horlicks on Amazon and they have it. Another one to try!

Ovaltine was another old favourite hot milk drink from the same era.

Yes. I also used to drink Ovaltine, Lex

With Horlicks, I buy the "sachets" (in packs of 30). So that each drink I make is the freshest it can possibly be

Horlicks sounds good to try for sure ... I love Ovaltine and that malt flavor ... especially in a milk shake!

I used to like to put chocolate ice cream in root beer with a shot of malt powder. Yum!

That sounds like a version of our UK “Ice Cream Float” 🙂

For me, nothing beats a coffee milkshake made with fresh coffee and coffee ice cream especially when enjoyed sitting on the beach in the shade of a palm tree in the Cayman Islands where we lived a few decades ago...

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Pedicure and lunch out with a friend today. Karaoke at Hacienda tonight. Enjoy the day and hug someone.

Mad, we have ice cream floats here too. The most common one is a root beer float with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. That coffee milkshake sounds pretty darned tasty too, Lex!

Brewed an extra pot of that dark Kenyan coffee to go with Connie's goodies again this morning. It's VERY chilly out, so I do feel a cup of that hot coco coming on later! Think I'll try the Chocolate Mint flavor.

Date night with hubby tonight. Think we'll go eat Mexican...

Happy Friday!

Another cold morning. Summer is over, I guess.

Lots of good dark coffee for me this morning.

I have a contractor coming this morning to put my front gate on a remote and hydraulics, since it is impossible to manage as a free-swinging gate on a windy day. Plus it's a real pain to have to fumble around in the dark for the lock when I come home at night. It's light enough to blow around but heavy enough to seriously damage my car. Once it's on the hydraulic hinges that won't happen.

I'll be spending the day going through boxes of books, packing up the ones I'll take to the local library in Nanoose. They'll take all of them up to the 20th of October for their book sale, so I'd better get at it.

Dude is almost back to his old self, even begging for play last night.

Good evening everyone. I used to put ovaltine on my icecream for malty chocolate or vanilla. Hope everyone's Friday was good. Lot's of dark roast coffee for me this morning too

Good morning everyone. I've brought dark roast Sumatra coffee with Scottish Breakfast tea and bottled Fiji water for the Break Room today.

We're doing a deep cleaning in the house today. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Good morning, Danish, Donuts and Bagels in the Break Room. Halloween karaoke at the Elks tonight. Enjoy the weekend and hug someone.

Oh, that Sumatra coffee sounds good, soot!

Connie, Halloween karaoke sounds like great fun!

Nice and chilly here. Seems like a good day to make some vegetable beef soup with barley and home made noodles. We always knew when my mom was making her vegetable beef soup - we would come home from school and there were noodles drying on the backs of the kitchen chairs on towels.

I started a deep clean in my house last week - it is in dire need after neglecting it through the summer!

Well, it was another busy crazy week and it isn't over yet. The continuous rain isn't helping since I'm out in it all day. It's been a very wet week here.
My youngest son got married yesterday and I worked till noon and had someone fill in for me and take my afternoon clients, showered and drove an hour to get there by 3. Talk about a day! It poured constantly but we had a blast. Off to work in the rain now!

Have a great day everyone!

I ordered that Land 0 Lakes hot chocolate. with this cold rainy weather, that just seems like it will be a hit. I have had a half of a cabbage in the fridge for a month that needed to be fried up soon and hubby brought up 2 small zucchini - the last from the garden as he pulled up the plants now - so, I decided to fry up the zucchini with the cabbage. I have never done that before, but we will see. I just hate to see things getting thrown out. and I used up some of my bacon grease that I have in the fridge to fry it in, so hopefully it will be good. everything is good fried in bacon grease!
