Got some new coffee creamers! Strawberry cheesecake, cinnamon vanilla creme and white chocolate moacha. The 1st 2 are extremely good! The last not so much. It's way to sweet!

Had the cinnamon one with a slice of sweet potato pie topped with whipped cream. Oh my that was epic

My taste buds just shrivelled up reading that. Never mind the atrocity you put in your coffee, I could get behind putting vanilla-flavoured something in there, but how do you manage so much sweet stuff at once? I get sick just imagining the taste.

My father had a friend who used to say: "if you put sugar in your coffee, don't have coffee, have shorbot (a sweet indian drink). if you put milk in your coffee, don't have coffee, have payesh (a very sweet indian dessert)" She was south Indian, they are all hardcore black filter coffee drinkers.

You know, that sounds like a mightily sensible advice. I've never heard of either, but I'd love to try both since I'm a 'sugar&milk in the coffee' person. But the most indian thing we get here, beside proper tea, is highly westernized chai.

Making me happy now is 1. that my headache is gone (for now), yay exercise, and 2. that while changing after the gym I noticed that I'm developing visible muscles in my arms. Not much, but I'm so pale it's a wonder to be able to see anything, so woot!

There are hundreds of varieties of shorbot, but the one I drink the most is very similar to lemonade.

Stir in 2-3 spoons of sugar in 1 glass of chilled water, add rock salt to taste, and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Now the variety of lemon/lime is important. We get two varieties here Gondhoraj which is a type of oblong very fragrant lime and your regular small round lime. This particular drink is extremely popular in summer as it is refreshing and rehydrating. We often have a large amount of it in the fridge in summer. There are other types of shorbot made with fruit syrup or milk, sometimes even nuts like cashews and pistas. They are sweet. You also have spicier ones made with Jaljeera which is a type of north indian spice mix.

To be honest, you won't get true payesh anywhere outside India. Even here, its not available in restaurants. Its an old dish, made by continuously stirring milk on a low flame until it thickens and become creamier. It also contains rice, and sugar. Though the winter version is sweetened using jaggery which is the crystallized juice of the date palm tree and is known locally as gur, pronounced goor.

Thank you

We're going on a new one tonight, to a concert downtown. She's smart and really attractive, which makes her interest in me a bit of a mystery, but I'm not complaining.

She's slumming?

Hey man, don't knock misplaced sympathy. The main reason women ever deigned to doff their knickers with me. The other being I'm easy.

It works well in combination with a long shower

I have a stupid grin on my face, a glass of an absurdly expensive whisky in my hand (a wedding present no less) and am just savouring the end of a great night.
