Do Mona or Lisa fancy a drink?

We both don’t drink so going off the rails means ordering a can of coke for me 😉
The wine tends to only find its way into cooking recipes.

I recommend craft Root Beer Lisa.  It’s a soft drink with a little craftsmanship.  There are some really nice unique tasting special Root Beers out there.  A friend and me when we were in high school made a batch of home made root beer.  Got some empty beer bottles from the liquor stores and rented a bottle capping tool, and ingredients to make root beer.  The root beer tasted awesome, but we put in way too much yeast, and slowly as the root beer fermented for days in my closet, I could hear explosions occasionally as the pressure was too much and bottles of root beer exploded!  🙂  Fortunately enough survived so we could still enjoy most of them.  My parents weren’t too pleased though with the mess.

I’m a Canada Dry Gingerale Gal, Schweppes Gingerale if Canada Dry not available, chocolate milk, my teas of Orange Pekoe, English/Irish/Scootish Breakfast, grape or orange juice, water person as I don’t  drink either, good Q asked Darryl,  I have often wondered and would of asked this eventually, but now you’ve asked, and we know the answer, awesome?

After the 1970s I don’t drink like I used to…….or do a lot of things I did in the 1970s for that matter.  When I do drink, it is a two drink limit maybe once a week and my favorite is Canadian blend, e.g., Crown Royal and I have had a long term relationship.  If not CR, then Canadian Mist.  Mike.

I don’t drink, and it’s not for any high-minded reason.  I just don’t care for the taste of alcohol.  I’ve tried beer, wine, champagne, etc. in social settings where it was offered to me, but in each case the first sip was followed by a rancid aftertaste that I could do without.

I have an occasional beer or red wine on special occasions, but I can’t drink much as I turn embarrassingly red too quickly.  Your Crown Royal story Mike reminds me of my dad’s one bottle (he doesn’t drink but received it as a gift) of whisky he had hidden in the closet I discovered when I was little.  I use to sneak in for an occasional sip.  It was a kind of curiosity /dare myself thing as the stuff felt like fire.  Anyway after about 2 years my dad found the bottle half empty.  He threw it out never figuring out who the culprit was.  🙂

Hi Jung:

Oh, our parents knew more about us than we thought.  Things that I thought I got away with my parents told me I didn’t years after the fact.  They just told me they had to pick their battles with me.  And after raising two girls my wife and I followed the same rule.  Mike.

I’ve had sips of beer, wine, gin and OJ, champagne, in the past, and not liking any of what I tasted….lol…it was at family functions…lol…I’m happy with my gingerale, tea, chocolate  milk…

Lisa, many gourmets have told me (although I do not cook myself) that you should always take a drink of the wine before putting it into the recipe. If you don’t like the way it tastes, then you shouldn’t cook with it. Maybe you can give it a try?
