Three things that make me happy

Most nights Reagan and I have a nightcap, or other small after-dinner-drink. Tonight it's a half bottle of Steaz Green Tea Root Beer, a half can of Hansen's Creamy Root Beer, and an unknown quantity of Sailor Jerry's Rum. And a twist of lime, as you can see.

It tastes mostly of root beer (unsurprisingly), but there's the notes of True Sugar (from the Hansen's), the spicyness of rum, the tart hint of lime, and (best of all) an aftertaste of green tea.

Reagan's concoction. He did very well! (He usually does.)




Fruit on our counter. Fruit and garlic.

I am amazed by how quickly those bananas went from green to brown. They didn't even pause at yellow, if they ever saw it. Speaking of seeing, I see banana bread in our future! Hopefully there's a pan to bake it in also in our future.


Unpictured happy-making thing: new Mustek flatbed scanner. It's an affordable 11x17 instead of the usual 9x12 (or 8.5x11).

Footnotes:
I am nearing both the 400 mark for posts (402, but that includes drafts), and my eighth year on Blogger. Maybe I'll do something special for November to commemorate that. NaBloPoMo is an option, but too easy. NaNoWriMo is also an option, but not quite thematic, but who's counting?
