Thursdays #277 - Olympic Fun and Cold Drinks!

[Karen]

That'd be cool, David! Much past tea, and I'm not a good bartender! We still need a theme and a drink for the week - it being summer, I vote for peach iced tea ... even though it's cool and rumbly out here, that'll make it taste like summer!

Karen, how about "cold drinks and relaxation" thursday? After my dental fun this week, all I can do is drink cold drinks!

Ooh that sounds good! One peach iced tea for the road please

Theme? Well, it is the start of the Olympics - maybe we celebrate that - wish every athlete great sucess and fun at these Olympics.

I found a Chinese drink - but it has that blue stuff in it - so I will make them, but I sure am not going to drink them!


China Blue
1.0 fl. oz. of Blue Curacao
1.0 fl. oz. of Lychee Liqueur
1.0 fl. oz. of Grapefruit Juice

Thanks for opening the bar Karen - this work thing is getting old - I would much rather rabble rouse at the Pet Talk Thursdays!

Hi everyone.

A little preoccupied with home life.

I'll try to pop in and take orders as time permits.

Hope everyone is doing o.k.

Are the smilies moving again?

I changed the title to Olympic fun and Cold Drinks!

When we were in Beijing, and went to the tourist-must-do Tea House, they had an extensive menu for teas. This is China, after all, right? I asked our translator and friend to pick one, and she said, "Eh, tea is tea, it's all the same." And so I picked one from the page of Jasmine teas that had the longest, most unpronounceable-in-English name I'd ever seen. And it was marvelous.

I bet iced Jasmine tea would be heavenly!

Hello, everybody and especially, hello, Lady! Could I please have iced tea, just basic iced tea would be fine for me. The last time we got Chinese take-out, the fortune in my fortune cookie read "The star of friendship shines upon you" and I think that's an appropriate thing to share with my Thursdays friends!
