For years, my drink of choice was Beefeater on the Rocks. Rarely missed a day.
Time catches up with a person, however. Alcohol consumption is one. Years ago, I had to change to something else. For health and pleasure reasons.
I searched. Tried this and that. Discovered a smoothie. Kept experimenting. As with different gins, there are different smoothies. Finally hit on my new drink of choice. A smoothie prepared at and by Date and Thyme on Fleming Street.
An almost everyday inebriation for me.
Date and Thyme prepares several kinds. My smoothie of choice became Date and Thyme’s Happy Monkey Smoothie. Consists of peanut butter, banana, coconut milk and vegan chocolate protein. Six times a week at Date & Thyme. It would be seven. However, they are not open on Sundays. Not a problem. I have learned how to make my own at home. Purchase the necessary ingredients. Early on, a new sufficiently large blender. I add two ice cubes also to the smoothies I prepare at home.
Smoothies give me a bang, also. Different from alcohol, of course. Yet tastes good and leaves me feeling good.
Try a Date and Thyme Smoothie. Guaranteed you will enjoy.
Key West’s recent weather has been two-fold. Heavy rain and humidity. One worse than the other. Yesterday the temperature was 87 degrees. Felt like 107!
Sad. Very sad. Syracuse quarterback Dave Angeli is reportedly out for the rest of the season. A fractured Achilles tendon. Caught his left foot under his right early in the third quarter of the Clemson game Saturday.
Trump is lucky. American business leaders do not stand up against him. Why? They fear him. It is all about self-preservation. Their own!
The government’s working definition of “hate speech” now seems to include anything and everything that offends Donald Trump personally – including late night comedy.
North Korea’s Kim Jung-un agreeable to talking with Trump. Says he has “good memories” of Trump and saw no reason not to meet with him again – as long as the U.S. stops insisting on dismantling his country’s nuclear arsenal.
Jimmy Kimmel will return to ABC this evening. His suspension ended. He should not have been suspended in the first place. Trump continues to exert his influence to have people banned and fired. Retaliatory on his part. Not a democratic way to run a government.
There is what is known as the “Devil’s Bible.” Its manuscript a source of fascination for a few. Also known as the “Codex Gigia.”
The book is nearly 3 feet tall, 9 inches thick and weighs 165 pounds. Contains what appears to be a large picture of Satan.
The book goes back before 1648. It is the largest surviving illuminated manuscript of the Middle Ages.
It is now believed that worms do not eat the human body after death. Rather parasites residing in the living body eat the body from the inside out following death.
“Dr.” Donald Trump and his top health officials told pregnant women yesterday not to take acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, as it may cause pregnant women to get autism.
Trump, Kennedy and other national Republicans, who “think” they are medics and medically knowledgeable, are now anti-Tylenol for women who get pregnant.
Spirit Airlines to furlough 1,000 flight attendants before the end of the year as part of its second bankruptcy.
Was the Melania Trump recently in England with Donald not really Melania? Clothes and hair different. Also appeared her back was pushed out with padding.
Was she or wasn’t she?
Maryland’s federal job base the worst in the Nation since Trump took office.
From electricity to rent, monthly bills are tying the inflation schedule.
Tit for tat. As Russia pummels Ukraine’s energy, Kyiv hits back at the oil refineries.
Trump is out to destroy the U.N. He is stripping the U.N. of funding as the global body faces a cash crunch.
The Ryder Cup this weekend. Great golf! I have been fortunate in the past to have attended two.
Syracuse ranked 4th in the ACC. How will Dave Angeli’s injury affect Syracuse?
Is Florida now the gun state? A recent court decision opens the door for gun carry.
Florida removed rainbows from Key West streets. However, residents replaced them with a spectrum of smiles and a riot of color during an informal Second Last March on September 15.
The removal was “inappropriate.” State said it was required for “safety purposes.” Bullshit! The Governor and State Legislature said they were unaware why such a fuss. They were not opposed to the crosswalks remaining.
The Grand today from 4-6 with Steve and Cindy for Happy Hour. Looking forward to it. Fun time!
Enjoy your day!
