@DCS222, while it seems your son's perception of electric kettle ownership is a myth, I'm not so sure about there being hope for the nation.
6.40 a.m. and you should be on your second brew. American tea is a bit insipid to my tastes. It lacks the Darjeeling floral note or Assam ‘bite’ before I hit the first coffee of the day.
Got five cans of John Smith’s which I’ve started on Gonna have a beef madras with mushroom pilau rice Then it’ll be Jameson’s or Jack Daniels or both
Had three cans Can’t Feckin believe I ate all this but I did Now on my fourth Jack Daniels Sitting with the button undone on my jeans I feel sick Think I’ll go to bed soon
With Peter Gabriel on the music system... I’ve been setting the base for a couple of chillis for tomorrow nights session... ready to split into two... 1) Standard chilli, can serve to my daughter... 2) Homer’s mysterious voyage! Number 2 is waiting the addition of 4 dried and a spoonful of brined jalapeños (the dried are serrano, narga viper, home grown Piri Piri and birds eye - not by me but a nurse colleague with a love for spices) All this hard work deserves reward... another chateauneuf du pap is sinking rather nicely. Chin chin!! edit:- it can’t be a Serrano, it appears red in colour... probably a New Mexican or similar
After a hard day watching a bloke mend our fence followed by huge kebabs relaxing with the nice Glenfiddich and finishing the Advocaat so that’s the drink cabinet emptied apart from half a bottle of whiskey and the Malibu which even I can’t face All ready to be stocked up again tomorrow Happy New Year nick
Love George Thorogood. Love this song. And I do love bourbon, scotch, and beer! But NOT all at the same time!
Where's that Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition, DD? You do have a cabinet full of that now, don't you? Or did you ship it to your Arizona forum friends?
Hmm... my poll now implies a 50:50 electric kettle ownership in the USA... thanks for the response Phred, but the chances of a good cuppa in America have just taken a huge hit!
Well, sounds like the poll was only an N of 2, @DCS222, although I'm not sure having more respondents would change the overall outcome. But you can increase your chances dramatically of a good cuppa in the US if you visit Mr. Sandi and me...rather than Phred.
