Who is my anonymous benefactor?

If you left this book at our door, could you raise your hand?

First, thank you for your birthday gift! That is very generous of you.

Second, thank you for supporting me in my quest to learn another new subject – coffee and coffee making.

But most importantly, as I leafed thru the pages, my first reaction was that I have to learn the art of making those beautiful cappuccino designs and then let you be the judge!

Fascinating book!

Thank you again for your thought and generosity!

This changes my mind

I have never been a big rum drinker. Maybe the occasional mojito or so but never took to it. I had a big surprise today.

Visited the Case del Ron (House of Ron – for Ron Zacapa Rum) in Antigua to try out their aged rums. Some of the rums have been aged for 23+ years! Their claim to fame is that the ageing is done at altitudes higher than anybody else (mile and a half above sea level) – I am not sure how much effect that has.

But sipping 23+ years aged rum was very different than having your standard rums (like Bacardi that I use to make cocktails). It has a much better and longer nose (oaky) to it and bit more sweeter.

Got myself a bottle to have it neat at home. We might have a convert at hand.
