I love a good bit of image manipulation! Swappy heads all the way!
Wow, check that gin out, Black Crowberry? Labrador tea? I have to try it for the mysterious ingredients alone!
I am glad you like it, I have a fair number of folk that depise the crude humour in my posts but I always think... fuck em!
😂 I love it!
I think you'd really like that gin. It has complex notes. I'm not one for drinking gin anymore and never straight, but this one, it's a must to drink it straight. It's not like any other I've had. A lawyer at work bought me a bottle as a gift, since he was into it. I was convinced that colour had to have been added, but it's natural due to the botanicals. Unreal colour. I highly recommend it.
Screw it, be you, bring it on! There are always those who will appreciate it. I don't want to scare people any more than I do, so I've reserved mine for the show I'm on, fully uncensored claws, LMAO.
I am not really a gin man but I do like a complex drink of any kind and I was utterly intrigued by the ingredients as I had not heard of any of em. In fact they sounded like something I would make up for an amusing name in a post. Speaking of which, that's a damn fine idea. I think I will Labrador Tea hehe.
Uncensored claws sounds magic. I have always been a fan of the be yourself school of thought. Life is genuinely far too short to be anything else for anyone else.
What's your favs for drinks? I think you need to use Labrador Tea, most definitely. I checked and it doesn't seem to grow in Scotland, but the climate there would work for it. I have the tea, it's the leaves you use. It's very much like a green tea, with other notes, and also the tannins. It's used as a medicine and if I recall correctly, it's a native herb. This will give you some info about it. I drink it as a tea for enjoyment but also use it when sick with a cold or flu in addition to other herbs.
Arctic Blend I've never heard of, but that's where the yellow comes from. It seems to be a mix of things. Cloudberries I've eaten, kind of like raspberries but different and different taste. Crowberry never had but it's another wild type berry.
"Uncensored claws" scares the crap out of enough people but my thoughts are, oh well. I agree with the being oneself. I tried being other people when younger, but I didn't have the stamina to keep faking it. It also made me dislike myself.
I will try to get hold of some labrador tea seeds. It would be cool to grow something I could use for tea. My favourite drink things are wine, rum, beers for alcoholic ones and green type teas and hawfee for non alcoholic. I do like a kombucha of course. Mmmm, kombucha!
There is nothing worse than not liking who you are because you know what you are doing and it is what makes you pissed off at yourself. Fecking peer pressure mostly and when younger, a horrible need to conform. Sod that
It's shrub, so if you can buy a small plant that will take less time than seeds. It grows wild in Canada, it likes boggy like areas. I can't believe it doesn't grow wild there. Maybe by a different name.
So you're a rum man, lol. I would have thought scotch. Hawfee! LOL! Kombucha, oh that's lovely stuff. Ever make it yourself? I made one that tastes like root beer (homemade root beer that is).
Very true. Peer pressure never ends, sure wish an adult told me that when I was growing up, LOL. If everyone were the same, this world would be so bloody boring. Definitely, sod that, like that expression. Canadians don't have any decent expressions, except "eh". "Sorry" does not count, it's used like toilet paper here.
I have found one place in the UK that has it in stock as a shrub. It's damn expensive although it does seem to be a hardy bugger.
I do like whisky but it does seem to have a different effects on me from other spirits. Not necessarily a good one!
I have been meaning to try and get some scoby make kombucha. I wrote fancy the idea but think it might take up a bit more time than I have!
I kept telling my daughter to not give a hoot about what anyone thinks but I know it's hard. Then again, hopefully she goes mad gothic or something :0D
That's excellent. I wasn't sure if you'd be able to find it there. Probably expensive because it's not a native plant there.
Interesting that there's different effects from whiskey. I bet that happens with others also. I've never drank enough of it at once to experience . Hard liquor being called "spirits", and odd description to me, took me a while to reflect on that but can see why.
Time thing is a factor. It doesn't take a lot of time in terms of work, but in terms of waiting and keeping an eye on it, all that. I'm thinking you've already got a full plate. I find making ginger beer from the fresh root (a wild ferment), to be much easier. No scoby to keep going, grow, or obtain.
😂 It is hard, but keep on telling her to reinforce it. These things do stick and keep coming back to mind. I say that from experience, LOL, recalling many things that stuck from both my parents, very helpful things that made a lot of difference for me. Probably the most important was knowing I was truly loved and the time I had with each of them. Nothing beats that.
