I don't actually drink much of this stuff. My wife does. Not strictly true - a lot of lucky people get presents. It's a bit like all the jam. I don't actually eat much jam, but you have to make it or the fruit is wasted and you don't want that. I just make kirsch to save the cherries from living wasted lives.
excellent stuff- will it be ready in time for xmas 2014? On a similar vein, ( well not quite), i gave away quite a few portions of courgette and parmesan soup last year ( in addition to jam). Does not quite carry the same cachet as cherry liqueur though!
Well I'm finally home! I should have been here about 9.30am but because of a delay in Philadelphia I've just landed here 30 minutes ago. Bags are now unpacked. Worn clothing in the washing basket. I'm off to bed. Adios for the moment chums
That soft cheese is renowned for delays, very difficult to run through Philadelphia easily-herb, or garlic variety?
Home. Exhausted. Stayed in Langres last night. Monstered Gex to Cize N5. I love that road. Having a slipper clutch seems to help me carry so much more corner speed this time. I really needed a 14t front for some of the hairpins. The 1198 just gobbles fast sweeper though. Its planted and stable. I'd also like a little less rake on the clip ons. Plus the heat proofing measures I applied before the trip worked well. Still hot though. Was 30 yesterday. Front of the bike looks like a Jackson Pollock.
Yes, it will be ready in time for Xmas. It's strange. When you pick up your distilled kirsch, it is in a glass container, but it isn't ready to drink. You are told to put it in a place with large temperature variation with a breathable top (something like muslin). I find this odd as the conventional wisdom in the spirits industry is that things don't improve in the bottle and that it is casks (oak) that does the purification job. I assume that if you corked it, it wouldn't improve. The nasty alcohols and esters need to evaporate off.
I booked my bike in at MR for a remap; I really wanted to use CJS (and ps his email back to me with advice was brill) but he is a bit too far! I also cleaned the chain! And washed the bike.... Ready for Scotland on Wednesday!!
Today I have spent most of the day sat on the toilet whilst simultaneously chundering into a bucket. Such a fun day...
This morning I caught up a lot of stuff that I'd not been able to do whilst away. Also managed to write up my reports on my meetings. By lunchtime jet lag was kicking in and I couldn't think straight, so I came home. This afternoon I have been catching up on some tv I've missed, had a kip, fannied about on here, done a bit more work and now I'm watching the match whilst fannying about on here. My head still feels like it's full of cotton wool though.
Have spent the day in bed with a cold or flue or something... How does one mans head manufacture so much snot?
Driven home from work during the shower of sh1te that is the England game and shaved 20 mins off my journey due to lack of traffic.. Can they not play every night?
finished work early (14:30) popped home to get the Panigale and ride over to Snells with a mate who was collecting his Pikes Peak.
