What are you eating/drinking right now?

Agreed.
Coincidentally, we have a bag in the ice box.
now there'e a term you don't hear too often these days; "ice box"

anyhow, I'm working on my second frosty mug of Spaten Optimator.

Hmm, a Spaten Opitmator, I've not heard of one of those but I've just done the old Google and it looks a good tipple. Believe it or not I've not had any beer/wine today, honest. I think I need my fortnightly day break as I've been drinking a fair amount of late.

Edit: Scratch that, just a little white wine left over from the previous day and a small light beer.

:D I find that there usually is.

air :reddevil:

cherries

A hunk of provolone cheese, the last bottle of Spaten Optimator and the rest of Mrs. G's Heineken.

Bought three packs of crumpets for a dollar apiece so I'm scoffing them with fresh real strawberry jam, whipped butter and cream :)

Then I'll be snacking through the afternoon on utterly luvverly chili olives and Ol' Bitey five star crumbly vintage cheese, and roast cashews and almonds

Also Cadbury's Hot Chocolate with rich creamy yum yum, this while I wait for the venison to marinade for tonight. D'Arenburg Red should go well with it.

Leftover pizza....the best.

coffee.

I am eating some Nutty Nibbles and drinking Armagnac brandy which is the oldest brandy in France and according to it's equally old publicity: "It makes disappear redness and burning of the eyes, and stops them from tearing; it cures hepatitis, sober consumption adhering. It cures gout, cankers, and fistula by ingestion; restores the paralysed member by massage; and heals wounds of the skin by application. It enlivens the spirit, partaken in moderation, recalls the past to memory, renders men joyous, preserves youth and retards senility. And when retained in the mouth, it loosens the tongue and emboldens the wit, if someone timid from time to time himself permits."

You won't do better than that, although I don't relish the idea of using it to restore the paralysed member by massage.

A glass of red wine.

Well I try to avoid very lush dinners and in this instance it follows a simple salad with white wine. Armagnac is not usually drunk in the UK because it is produced in relatively small quantities as opposed to brandy produced in the Cognac region of France which by common consent is much finer. However, I find it to be very good with an earthier taste than cognac and, although I shall have to drink cognac in public houses, I shall be buying Armagnac for home consumption in future.
