Maria it's great to have you here and see you on the forum!

Did someone say cold and bubbly? We should bought shares in Coco Cola! With the amount that my hubby drinks, we would have made millions. Everywhere I turn there is another empty can!

My favourite cold, as Pam can atest to, is an expertly chilled gin martini with 3 juicy olives, they have to be juicy or else it doesn't count. Right Pam?

My favourite caffiene is french pressed, fresh ground COFFEE, unflavoured, straight up but I can have a little milk in it. It's richness feels like velvet as it flows over my tastebuds. I better stop going on about that or I will have to go make another cup. Actually that's how I enforce my daily limit, I bought a 1 cup french press, keeps my intake down.

I love this forum too, thanks for inviting me Pam.

On another note, it's about 30 degrees Celsius here today, and in order to really heat up the house I had to make jam--the strawberries wouldn't wait until things cooled off. Anyone for toast?
