Ribena's a special case, though. That's healthy and expensive squash

Soz - I was asked about squash before and forgot it's a immediately a vegetable in the US, and immediately a cordial here.
Actually, we never classed Ribena as squash (yes it is of course.) Ribena was just Blackcurrant. Would you like a drink or would you like Blackcurrant? It was considered healthy and was only rationed because it was so expensive. It was advertised on its vitamin content. Orange and all its pals (orange & pineapple, apple & blackcurrant etc) were fun time drinks, which were rationed because they were fun time drinks. The worst situation was to go round someone's house and have their Mum offer you squash... only to find out the only thing in the house was Lemon Barley Water. WHAAA?! You'd gollop it down and hope your face did not reflect your opinion, because sometimes Mums who got it so wrong with drinks got it so right with dessert. You might even get Arctic Roll!

Actually when you think about it the word 'squash' makes sense.
I've been thinking to make a cordial. It seems easy enough. It would be nice to give out at Christmas. |

I never heard of squash based beverages... sounds a bit like coffee flavored bavarine but healthier.
Now me... No historic apple picking today for our field trip. Wed thru Sun only. Fart.

Homemade cordial is fruit soaked in vodka then after about a three months smashed or squashed through a sieve.
I have not heard of a non acoholic cordial and maybe that's what a squash is? What's a coffee flavored bavarine? |

Maybe I should have said 'encourage' instead of make. Anyway, I just think it's really important to get plenty of water and too many kids drink too many sweet drinks which just isn't good for their long term health. That's all I meant.
We have cordial in the house. In fact I sometimes make cordial. I do it by juicing the fruit (usually lemons) and then boiling it down to concentrate it a bit, then adding sugar. When it become syrupy it goes into bottles and put in the cupboard. Sometimes the kids can add some to their water, just for a little flavour. Mostly they drink plain water though except at meal times where they usually have a glass of milk.

Anyone? Bueller? (And this after two doctors appointments in one day......I brought an adult beverage to console me...shhh.don't tell...)

Nothing like a toddy to soften the brunt.

I'm going to fucking kill some idiots from Comcast.
They left without doing what they were supposed to because nobody was home in the apartment. Next time I'm going to get THE SECURITY GUARD WILL LET YOU IN made into a ribber stamp, except it won't be rubber, it'll be some kind of metal. Then I'll hammer it into their heads. |
