I've decided I need cider ice lollies, no hope in buying them guess I'm just going to have to make some :)

You might not get what you expect, but you may not care :rofl:

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

No hangover incredibly but I did turn up a tad late. :D

Returned having worn a bouncer on my elbow and buggered a finger having failed to take a sharp catch. We won though so all is relatively well. :thumbsup:

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

I'm quite impressed at how energetic you are DV - hangover or not :)

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

I try my best to keep moving whenever able, I appreciate being in reasonable health so it would be remiss of me not to.

Plus I drink like a fish so I have to balance it out!

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

I'm obviously not drinking enough then :lol:

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

I've went for a slightly easier option of pouring some apple an black current cider in to a small plastic cup with a waxing stick in it :lol: I didn't use the full bottle though just in case they turn out a bit naff!

I did make some baileys ones out of those little shot glasses I'd usually use for jelly shots and I'm hoping for better results with them I hope there just like alcoholic mini milks ummm:fingerscrossed:

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

If the description of fractional distillation via freezing is correct, you might find the tip of the lolly more alcoholic than the base.

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

Yeah, those were good :thumbup:

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

Now that's a good idea

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

I made Amarula (African cream liqueur) ice cream for Christmas day. It went down a treat and was very popular

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

Not on the sauce tonight as there is a bushfire that has destroyed homes not that far away and could head over here

Need to stay sharp

Edit:
Just read that someone has died defending their home

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

It's my path and I couldn't recommend following it, I have a uniquely-developed alcohol metabolic system. :D

Well, that puts things into perspective. I wish you well and hope nobody else comes to harm. We live in a brushfire-prone area, stay safe. :fingerscrossed:

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

Thanks. Good friends of ours live right where this fire is right now. Can't get hold of them so hope that they are safe

Re: Sitting by the pool.....
 

Indeed, wishing all the best for anyone facing adversity :fingerscrossed:

I remember well the first time I saw a fire on the horizon and I feel for the people facing it down and the choices that have to be made are heart-wrenching.

We have an 'emergency box' packed at all times for such situations, photos, insurance docs and the like.

You don't really get a sense of the danger of living in some parts of Oz until you see it first hand.

Good luck to you and yours.
