A reply from Tina to my last blog made me think that I should come clean.
Kir (a drop of creme de cassis in a glass of white wine, or champagne) is like pop. It goes down extremely well after a hard day at whatever. However, new "users" beware - it is so alcoholic! So what you might ask. Well, drinking it like pop (it is so moreish) you end up p....d as a rat very quickly, especially on an empty stomach.
I won a year's subscription to an English magazine last year when a reader asked for ideas on how to use up a bottle of Creme de Cassis, but they didn't publish my warnings. Sorry to everyone who tried it, and paid the price.
Laura and I have a chocolate cupboard. We hide it away. We're not mean or anything, but if it's out David will eat the lot. So we hide it and have some when we feel the need. It's far less alcoholic than Kir, but with probably the same calories.
I had need to attack the chocolate cupboard last week, though I can't remember why now. I did confess to Laura though. When she goes back to England next week she will bring back slabs of Dairy Milk and replenish the stocks!

mmm... kir!
My wife is a complete kir tart. Just about every day between 5:00 & 6:00 you'll find a glass of kir in her hand.
At our local cafe they only charge 70 centimes for a kir. I'm on the kir at the end of every month when the money gets tight. Half the price of a beer and same alcohol kick.
Crikey what a busy festive season you had. N wonder you needed Kir and chocolate! What a fabulous combination. You sound busy but well. Those lambs must be so gorgeous.
I love Kir! It always feels decadent and special. Whenever I drink it at home I put it in a 'good' glass, not an everyday one and really enjoy it.
Sitting in my cold office with a coffee laced with Baileys!
MOB - sorry to be so hard, but the lambs look better on a plate!
Debra - every glass of Kir is a "good glass", it's just the after effects that are not so good - assuming you've had a sufficient quantity.
