Also with age comes earlier bedtimes. And running up the down escalator is a late night sport.

Breakin' the rules, mixing good single malt scotch with ginger beer. The ginger beer was a gusher, got all over my kitchen, serves me right. But it was worth it!

Good call, and probably best to just drink rainwater and pure grain alcohol.

This sounds good, I tend to go with lemon only but I should try tailoring my approach. Edit: I think it depends on the beverage pairing too. With the right wine the oyster can be best with nothing on it.

Nice! Doesn't get talked about as much as some lambic producers but it's excellent. Edit: cool glass too!

Yep we have good Pacific oysters here too, although Bluff oysters are probably the ones to seek out in NZ and are a different species.

Sort of an apricot version of a fish house punch made with oleo saccharum, pretty tasty.
