WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[4c]

Made mandarin Yerba mate soda today:
This is the ginger bug

Ginger bug started fizzing today.

Made Yerba mate tea

Juiced mandarins

Put it all together and added sugar. (Only used a tiny bit of ginger bug)

Will be ready and bubbling in about three days… Will make ginger ale too in a couple of days.

Best part is the bug that causes the carbonation needs to eat sugar to live so when a person eats the bug it continues to eat sugar in the gut which speeds up metabolism. That’s right; soda with lots of sugar will actually make you thinner and healthier. The reason this isn’t widely known is because real soda is virtually unavailable unless you make it yourself…

Whoa, really?  I'm going to have to research that.  Very interesting.

Today I’m watching my first home-brewed soda bubbling away. It’s been about 24 hours and it has about two days to go. I also started a huge batch of ginger ale last night.

Great project, have you made it before?

[4c]

Thanks Mega, it’s my very first soda

[Snowy]

Following very closely here too 4c. Keen to hear all about it. I've made Kombucha before and enjoyed that. Home made soda sounds very interesting.

ON the way home.

[Megatron1505]

Good to hear Gav!.. Will probs need a new blanket when you come to Belgium… I hàte those big comforters - haven't used them in years... Just a thin Wings+Horns fleece blanket... So yeah: if you got any 200x140 cms that won't cost me an arm and a leg...

Cool snowy! Would love to try to make Kombucha some time. Maybe I should start a soft brewing thread for root beer, ginger ale, Kombucha, and other sodas and fermented drinks.

I've been wanting to visit Bahnstormer Motorrad in Alton for a while, and yesterday seemed like a good time. I wanted to check out riding gear, but got a bit distracted by their selection of HP2s…

[

After that, it was a very short ride to a very familiar place…

I'd ordered up a few bits and pieces in the sale, and it seemed like a good excuse to pick them up. Besides I needed some pants hemming for my brother.

Naturally @Giles used original spec thread to match the rest of the stitching! :o

Proof Sudo don't eat all the crisps at Fish n Chips!

All the soft drinks went, but beer survived! Obviously we're a bunch of lightweights.

And I caught up with @Madame Buttonfly and @dylantbmayes - apparently I don't have to buy anything when I visit Gosport…

Enjoy your new IH bits!

Graeme nice to see you back at the office.
That is the way to keep Giles out of trouble and busy.

Breakfast and Bottle show. Then a hike on trail.

Nice family day today, grandparents round to play with their grand children, and a leg of lamb.

My version of landscape gardening ???
