Easily Pleased?
Had to do a little shopping...as it happens I managed to get some bargains and most of what I wanted...
A small roaster dish made by Pyrex worth £5 for £2.49
I found somehow I had forgotten that my Internet magazine came out last Thursday so I purchased it a week late...That's never happened before.
You know I have started my new interest of making alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, I was walking past a charity shop and was thinking can I be bothered to see what books have come in...but I did and I found two good quality books, one originally was £10 and the other £13 but I paid £1.50 each of them and they were all about making and containing recipes for cocktails and punches. In hardback and fully illustrated.
Finally, for the first time I thought I'd buy an expensive Scottish malt whisky but the choice I was found just confused, The one I planned to buy even I thought to be too expensive, I thought I had purchased a decent brand(its aged and Scottish)and was a single malt but I have found out it is a blended type however it still looks like a good one. It's called Black Bottle so it still should make some good cocktails...
But all in all a good day...

You've really got this cocktails bug Gildy, good for you. I've never had whisky in a cocktail, the smell puts me off, but it sounds an interesting idea. Let us know how it goes
Will do Paul...the coffee one I mentioned worked well and this Bailey's if used sparingly is said to be rather nice drizzled on ice cream served up as desert.
I'll wait until I am well through the first bottle so I don't have too many on the go at once ;-)
Of course the "Proper" whiskey cocktails I still have to try.
I'm making one later tonight called Top Banana(which as you can guess has fruit included)and milk, vodka and Peach Schnapps.
