    Winter cleaning Thursday #338!

    The last two days have been rainy and cold, I have been kinda bouncing around looking into corners and seeing cobwebs in places where there were none a while back.


    I think a nice little sprucing up and a trip into the Lost and Found is in order.

    I am looking into swapping out the floor tile in my kitchen at home-do yo think we dare try it here in the bar?

    ----------------

    Oh, Just found this recipe.

    Raleigh Autumn

    1 oz light rum
    1/2 oz apricot brandy
    1/2 oz Galliano® herbal liqueur
    1 tsp lemon juice
    2 oz pineapple juice

    Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with an orange slice.

    Winter cleaning??? I think I missed most of Spring Cleaning!

    Before you go ripping up the floor in the bar, how about a warm drink. Hot chocolate might do it. We're in for 4 days of rain and cold and wind with 2 Nor'Easters hanging off the coast all the way thru the weekend. Temps in the 40's. Had to break down and turn the heat on already.

    Tomorrow morning I'm putting chili in the crock pot - perfect weather for it!

    The 'house drink' - Raleigh Autumn - sounds like a winner to me.

    I'll take one now, and another later

    As for the cleaning - I've started mine, but still have so much to do outdoors

    Can anyone tell me where October went?

    Actually the autumn cleaning began here too. It always starts with putting blankets on the bed and changing the closets over to the cold weather clothing which means a trip to Goodwill. I will take one of those Raleigh Autumns too please Richard.

    I started the cleaning with my car at lunchtime today, does that count?

    I'll take a Raleigh Autumn-that sounds good! I'll be working at a wine festival (OUTSIDE) in 45 degrees and rain this weekend, so I could use the warm up. We also just turned on the heat this week.

    What should we eat? We'll have pomtzu's chili tomorrow...how about some easy hot ham and cheese paninis tonight?

    Oooh, hot mulled cider for me, please!

    Mmm, Richard, I dunno if you wanna attempt to replace the bar floor - best I can figure it's old wood with about a hundred years worth of "patina" .... a.k.a. grime and abuse and varnish and more abuse and ... who knows what's under there if yer gonna tear it up!

    I am sure Lady would help if there's digging involved ...

    One hot mulled cider for the mayor.....

    And Richard, I'll put down the floor, but I'll be durned if'n I'm gonna do the prep work on this one!

    Just don't understand the obsessions with "cleaning" ...
    Those Dust & Fur Bunnies that you all insist on removing and discarding
    are excellent Insulation ... pile 'em up deep enough and they cushion your
    feety-feets and keep 'em warm.

    Anyway ... after chugging a couple DoD ... who cares?

    TWO DoD, Please ...
    I'll get in the mood to not clean.

    I'm with Phred! Could I please have decaf coffee, since it's pretty late and I have to be at work early tomorrow. It's chilly and raining outside, though.

    Richard, what are you replacing the existing tile with? I have ugly white linoleum in my kitchen that I'd like to replace with Uniclic, Wilsonart or Pergo laminate. I'm saving money to get it done.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    One decaf coffee, DONE!

    If we did anything with the floor in here it would have to be done in butcher tile, I think that's the only way it would stand the abuse in here......
