Had to take a rapid Covid test as soon as I walked in the door at my parents' house.I too was negative.Hooray Nan
10:26 am
rururocks

got to go get ready for a walk in the rain.. have fun you guys
10:26 am
cybernan

Don't rely on the rapid test if you are having symptoms, Min -- apparently they are producing a lot of false negatives.
10:26 am
cybernan

bye ru - hagd
10:27 am

No symptons. It was just to put my mom's nerves at ease
10:27 am

10:29 am
Minveryork

I just got a booster shot last Friday,but mom still wanted me to take a rapid Coid test after hearing about positive cases in my school last week. We are all vaccinated tho.
10:30 am
cybernan

Is everyone wearing masks indoors at the school?
10:32 am
Minveryork

We wear masks in school.Plus governor has reinstated an indoor mask mandate. We seem to be going backward😒
10:33 am
cybernan

we are too min - I think that is happening in most places. Our gymns and bars have been closed again.
10:35 am
Minveryork

Some school districts have shifted to full remote,but not my district. My school was full remote the last 2 days b-4 Christmas vacation, however, just my school not district
10:35 am
cybernan

I think our health minister is really concerned that people won't pay any attention to the health orders and have their New Year's parties anyway. Our ICU's can't take another big wave of cases.

There will ALWAYS be people who won't pay attention to the health orders or mask/vaccine mandates. That's why the virus keeps mutating. There will be another variant.

i received a bottle of wine for christmas. it is rose.
2:27 pm
rururocks

that's good.. you like roses right?
2:27 pm
72 Temple Owl

sadly, no rose drinker here except me.
2:28 pm
rururocks

I love roses.. i drank one for xmas yesterday
2:28 pm
72 Temple Owl

i do. was not allowed to share it at dinner, becuase it was a gift. would not pair with the meal, anyway.
2:28 pm
72 Temple Owl

was waiting for brother to opne the chocolate porter, but noooooooooooooo
2:28 pm
Uneaixoise

Had a bit with lunch :-)
2:29 pm
72 Temple Owl

of rose? i swore to eat lightly today, but all the salad greens have been recalled. again. and it seems bagged stuff is all you can find
2:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

i will lunch at the local farm to table this week and try the porter on tap
2:30 pm
rururocks

I can't drink beer.. it gives me migraines
2:31 pm
72 Temple Owl

i had soup. and limpa.and COOKIES!!
2:31 pm
rururocks

what's limpa?
2:31 pm
72 Temple Owl

even german beer? it's preservative free, but you need to go to a german restaurant to get it on tap
2:31 pm
clg47

Porter nice! I cook with porter also - it makes great roast beef or stew.
2:32 pm
72 Temple Owl

limpa is swedish rye. my loaf thamwed out ont the ride home so i have to eat it.
2:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

i like porter. and warsteinter oktoberfest. and will have a lager at dances. otherwise i prefer spirits/
2:33 pm
clg47

I bake limpa and yule kage. limpa would go good with porter.
2:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

with chocolate porter?
2:34 pm
72 Temple Owl

my brother received a small smoker for christmas- the kind you see with absinthe. he made smoked manhattans
2:36 pm
clg47

A generous friend smoked a salmon, and I will enjoy that today. I made eggnog yesterday and it is even better the 2nd day.
2:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

we were discussing that...would he cook the salmon first? The brothers in laws have large bbq smokers. the smoked thanksgiving turkeys were the best ever.
2:38 pm
rururocks

i'm having a nice neat scotch later tonight
2:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

the smokers instructions said he could smoke cheese. i truly hate smoked stuff unless it's bbq
2:39 pm
72 Temple Owl

ok i have retrieved the bottle, it's cottesbrook.
2:40 pm
72 Temple Owl

new zealand...wonder who recommended that one?
2:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

oh and of course they made glugg. not touching that. might as well just go buy some robitussin and hit it with gin
2:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

apologies to all the swedes
2:42 pm
clg47

New Zealand wine is good and so is Australian. I've been to wineries in both places. We have a RV so we taste up and down the west coast of the USA and BC, Canada.
2:45 pm
72 Temple Owl

ru is not weighing in on nz rose
2:48 pm
72 Temple Owl

i would love to try limpa. have had it from three bakeries but one was vastly different. more like whole wheat texture. the others were dense and spicy with cardomom.
2:50 pm
rururocks

NZ Roses are very tart and light.. but nice.. they need to be paired with food, you can't just sip them outside like other roses
2:51 pm
rururocks

that's my opinion only by the way
2:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

the bottle suggest it as an aperitif. rose would be paired with the same foods as a dry whitea/
2:56 pm
72 Temple Owl

curious who selected this one since i've never seen rose at any family affair.
2:56 pm
rururocks

it would be a nice apertif with cheeses or it'd be great with fish or roasted chicken.. it can't handle anything heavier than that
2:56 pm
72 Temple Owl

but of course, i can always bring it to a party and share it. takes care of the not drinking a whole bottle thing
2:57 pm
72 Temple Owl

ah, as i suspected.
2:57 pm
rururocks

I love to have a couple glasses of rose with chicken and salads.. delish
2:57 pm
72 Temple Owl

trouble it, last time i did that it was the wine of last resort... but a few came up to me and said how tasty they found it.
2:58 pm
72 Temple Owl

no salads here. lest we die of listeria. :(
2:58 pm
rururocks

people love roses.. especially dry ones.. it's usually the first empty bottle on the table.
2:59 pm
72 Temple Owl

not here. lots of red drinkers/
2:59 pm
rururocks

wow.. really?
3:00 pm
rururocks

my current favorite rose is only $12.. I love it
3:00 pm
72 Temple Owl

mostly it seems people will say "i love merlot" when what they really like is that particular brand, especially non wine drinkers like me
3:00 pm
72 Temple Owl

yes, really. i think they view it as neither fish nor fowl. nor beef. pardon the allusion.
3:01 pm
72 Temple Owl

and a bit of a sissy.
3:01 pm
rururocks

amazing... merlot is really not sought after out here
3:01 pm
72 Temple Owl

we had a prime rib. so definitely not for christmas dinner.
3:02 pm
72 Temple Owl

ooh sorry, i meant the rose. merlot is popular here, as are most reds.
3:03 pm
72 Temple Owl

but i think they don't see a place for rose, if that makes any sense. and sorry, time to shut up and play. or not.
3:03 pm
rururocks

yeah.. i get it.. eventually the east coast will figure it out.. Roses are refreshing in hot humid weather and the big reds taste flat and dull
3:03 pm
72 Temple Owl

well put/
3:04 pm
rururocks

I'm against wine snobs in general anyway... it's elitist and fairly stupid
3:05 pm

That goes for snobs in general.
3:05 pm
72 Temple Owl

i've already told you my wine snob story. i will drink what i like. i do not care.
3:05 pm
