From the bartender’s corner – Velvet Gold
This is Goldschläger and Champagne.
Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps with 43.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) and visible flakes of gold. The gold flakes are made from 24 carat gold that has been beaten into wafer-thin sheets by gold-leaf makers. A one-liter bottle contains around 13 milligrams (0.20 grains) of gold.
The gold flakes from Goldschläger and the bubbles from Champagne make quite a display!
Perfect day in Atlanta to be on the lake!!
All the bravado about gaining confidence in long runs put to rest :-(
Remember how I posted about gaining confidence in longer runs every Saturday? Well, that could not have been more misplaced! In a few hours, while trying to hit a volleyball in the Green in downtown Alpharetta, badly pulled the upper left calf muscle.
That should be a lesson for me to stretch before and after long runs and keep drinking water.
Hobbling fairly badly now, but can move myself from Point A to Point B. Stairs are also okay as long as I do not put weight on my left leg while it is straight.
Now, if I can put another long run on Saturday, then that will really, really get my confidence back.
This summer’s riding shirt for me!
Ride to Sawnee Mountain
Have you heard of edible soap?
Apparently, all my disgust after licking a bar of soap as a young toddler was misplaced. Sharmila and Parijat ordered a drink and after the drink was prepared, the bartender put a bubble on it!! Using a bubble maker and something called “edible soap”!!
Hmmm… seems like I need to try this at home!
(In case you were wondering, by the time I could take the picture, Sharmila’s bubble had burst. Literally speaking.)
