Esoteric Bowl

I bought a bottle of White Zinfandel and put it in the refrigerator to chill. That was around a year ago and the bottle remained untouched. That is until a few weeks ago when I poured a glass during a Friday evening and sipped wine as I listened to downloaded songs.

The following Friday I poured another glass and listened to music as I cleaned the house. Although I’m not much of a drinker, I do enjoy a drink every now and then. Alcohol is one of those things that I can live without, but when I do have a drink I’m reminded that it tastes rather good. And because I don’t drink too often, a small amount is plenty for a nice little buzz. Last Friday night I finished off the bottle. Here it is Friday and I’m already pondering another wine purchase.

While I’m on the subject of alcohol, the other night I was roaming around town when I thought about having a Baileys and coffee. The recipe calls for a cup of hot coffee, a shot of Baileys Irish Cream, a little whipped cream, and a sprinkle of chocolate flakes. Nothing fancy, but it’s probably my all-time favorite drink. Not only is it a smooth tasting drink, but the buzz is smooth as well.

Anyway, so I had this Baileys and coffee thought. I didn’t want to buy a whole bottle of Baileys, so I stepped into a local pub and pulled up to the bar. The bartender greets me with a hello, and I give her my order. “Sorry,” she says. “We don’t have that.”
“You don’t have Baileys?”
“We have Baileys, but we don’t serve coffee.”
“What do you serve late at night when people want to sober up?” I ask.
“Water or Pepsi”, she says matter of factly.
Water or Pepsi? She’s definately not a coffee drinker. I’ve never been to a bar that didn’t have hot coffee.

Have a great Aloha Friday. Cheers!
