100% agree on homemade simple syrups! And they taste so much better, too. I recently saw a recipe for spiced grenadine and that’s what I’m making this week!

Well, Lolly, it appears I have entered my “safety first” era. 😕 Please don’t unfriend me.

Your idea of different flavoured simple syrup is much appreciated from this cocktail lover.

I use lemon flavoured syrup when baking lemon pound cake

That lemon syrup would be great in gin cocktails, too. 🍋 🍸

As I mentioned many times before .....you truly missed your calling in the story telling department that is. I always enjoy your anecdotes .

Stay warm on those early morning walks.

That is a tricky question about getting guests to leave! We know a couple folks who will stay very very long times so we usually meet them at restaurants lol. Haven’t been able to figure out any other solution without ruffling feathers!

It is a tricky one.

I know of people who simply announce they’re going to bed and ask anyone still remaining to shut off the lights when they leave.

I’m not a fan of this.

One person I know would simply wish us good night then make themselves at home in the kitchen. 🤣

Your first paragraph where you describe the weather is brilliant! I felt it. And your recommendations for dealing with our winter weather are appreciated.
