The building work caused the temporary loss of the ice bashing stick and the limes are already squeezed. Improvise with garlic/chilli bashing stick and hope that double bagging and the T-towel will prevent any flavour cross contamination.
Supping the delightful (only slightly spicey) gin concoction a few moment later we have an earthshattering discovery. Bill and Ben aren't Bill and Ben at all - but Jill and Ken !! We move our chairs a little further away from the wall in case they lose their stick while inflagrante.
OK, OK we've been trying to get out more. We had a run of luck during the last round of the Restaurant game. Adrian landed on Community Chest which allowed us to accompany yet another LEC to Pondok Sari for dinner (P: This is LEC soon to be headed your way) although we did have to shell out a few bok. And I drew that coveted Chance? card - You have won first prize in a PR contest, collect Babi Guleng at Diana's exclusive establishment including rather moreish vodka & lime. If you refer to the "Key" for eateries in the lid of the game you will note that normally to cover the rent if you land on Puri Ganesha you need to have already built 2 hotels on Jalan Pemuteran.
Adrian taught Antonio Banderas and his brother to dive. Not exactly but 2 Spanish born Mexicans living in California. Considering English is their second (third) language they did rather well - maybe because the PADI materials are in American English. In any case he had a bueno time with them.
And I taught a lovely Indian lady to snorkel. Bearing in mind she was several years & kilos beyond her prime and couldn't even swim it was big smilies all round. And resulted in on-going invitation any time we like to their house in Bollywood.
Pak (Captain) Saria is suffering from seriously high BP not helped by a bout of gout. Cherries are very expensive here and red cabbage doesn't exist at all. Doesn't seem right to recommend red wine under the circumstances so putting him on a diet of aubergines. Temporarily captainless, all the boys now line up to drive reef spirit (please please).
Apologies for my continued lack of illustrations but my husband won't let me near his other (our only remaining) camera.

How exciting: I beat Claire to the first comment. Re limes: we squeeze them by the multiple dozen now and store juice in fridge till the next trip as they are out of season January to April. It appears there is no need to freeze the juice: simply make sure bottle is seriously full to minimise the amount of air.
ReplyDeleteHaha P! What you don't know is that I have their blog always open and one of the first things I do is check blogs, must have been a bit slow this time - it won't happen again ;-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, Amanda, Antonio Banderas, now you're talkin'
And isn't garlic supposed to be good for high blood pressure - perhaps you should make a cocktail for Pak (Captain) Saria (sorry, I don't know which of these names I should use first) Anyway, as I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself - Perhaps he should have a cocktail with the ice crushed with noo stick sans T-towels and bags!
