Breakfast was three sausage links, a piece of toasted colonial bread with homemade strawberry jam, a glass of orange juice, and a cup of coffee. I weighed 156 pounds.
These little fluff balls crossed in front of me on the way to work this morning.
At the office I had two cups of green tea.
Over lunch I went for a four mile walk around campus. I stopped at the HUB and had Panda Express Vegetable Sushi (a contradiction in terms, I know, since Sushi means “delicious fish”) — three onari and five vegie rolls (carrots, cucumber, and avacado) — and a cup of Thai Tea Boba.
After work and my semi-weekly workout, I had a slush.
Dinner was a garden salad with sausage and Balsamic Vinaigrette, a bottle of Saranac Pale Ale, and two hands full of peanuts.
Much of the time, I will say that I had two bottles of beer with dinner. Well, that is actually a misrepresentation. It usually turns out that I have one after work and then another with dinner. It is easier, and less pedantic, to simply say I had two, rather than saying I had one and then I had another. Tonight I have to resort to the latter semantic arrangement since it clearly is not two of…, it is one of… and one of… The first one being “The Recipe.”
Apricot Slush “The Recipe”
If you are looking for a delicious, refreshing make-ahead frozen drink, this is for you.
- 1½ Sugar
- 4 Tea Bags
- 2 cups Boiling Water plus 7 cups Cold Water

To serve, fill a glass half way with the slush and top it off with Sprite or 7-Up. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
hi there…was looking at your recipe for apricot slush….are you sure it calls for a gallon of apricot brandy..seems like too much…i use only 2 cups and the rest of the recipe is the same…?
one-fifth of a gallon, or simply “a fifth” 🙂
