Over here, it’s almost 10:30pm on a Saturday night, and I’m kicked back with a gin and tonic, using Gordon’s gin. (Don’t tell him.) What are you drinking right now? ---

Coffee at the moment. Much later, it will be a Bombay Sapphire martini. ---

My morning coffee. Tonight with dinner I’ll probably have some Yellowtail Shiroz. ---

Morning coffee (locally roasted beans) with half&half and non-sugar sweetener. Last night I had something called Pumpkin Ale (beer flavored with pumpkin). Bad combo, IMO. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Morning Last night I had something called Pumpkin Ale (beer flavored with pumpkin). As a connoisseur of fine beer, I normally eschew fruit-flavored beer. Can’t stand beer flavored with apricot, blueberries, lime, etc. The only exception is Pumpkin Ale. I love the stuff for some reason. FYI, there’s no pumpkin in it. They add the \*spice \*that’s used when making pumpkin pie. ---

Bigelow’s English Teatime hot tea, with sweetener and creamer. It’s possible that I’ll have a Dos Equis later on tonight, but not likely. I rarely drink alcohol, I can’t afford the empty calories. ---

Nothing. I don’t spend a lot of time with anything to drink nearby. ---

What I’m always drinking at home, Diet Dr Pepper. (If you’d asked when I was at work, I’d’ve said “What I’m always drinking at work, Earl Grey tea.”) ---

Coke Zero at the moment. Last night was a smorgasbord of booze: plum wine, bourbon, beer, and spiced rum and ginger ale. The last was especially delicious. ---

The label on the neck says (as I recall) “made with pumpkin and spices”. I assumed that that meant there was actual squash in the mash. ---

I’m down to the last gulp of cold black coffee I poured myself this morning. I use an oversized (~2 pints) glass beer mug for my coffee. _gulp_ Time to pour more. ---
