Celebrate good times...

All things considered, I think I'm pretty resistant to Absolut marketing. No, wait - hear me out.

They did a limited edition gold bottle last year, and although I was tempted by the super-shiny bottle, I resisted. I don't go near vanilla or mandrin or peach (way too sweet). I stick to citron, raspberi, plain - a woman of simple tastes.

But today I saw the disco bottle spangling on a local supermarket shelf.



Get this: the outer casing unhinges, so after the vodka is long gone, you have an absolut-shaped disco ball. Who would be without one of those!

Juicy Days

The nice thing about Monday is because it's one of the flaffier weekdays, it's only reasonable to expect an afternoon tipple.

I was going to blend some pineapple and do something rum-my, but the fruit needs another couple of days to ripen. And so instead Absolut Raspberri shall be served with freshly squeezed orange juice.

Speaking of which, this morning I juiced the most enormous pomegranate. There's probably a knack to doing it in such a way that the kitchen doesn't end up looking completely blood-splattered. It tasted great though :)

Tum de dum. Busy busy...
