'I say that is wine,' Brett held up her glass. 'We ought to toast something. "Here's to royalty".'
'This wine is too good for toast-drinking, my dear. You don't want to mix emotions up with wine like that. You lose the taste.' Ernest Hemingway Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises

Do you like emotions with your drink? I know I want to mix memories with my drink, so I think that means I want emotions with it?
I'd like a whisky on the rocks, hold the emotions? Must admit I never had mixed the two before. Nostalgia, yes: the sight of advocaat will always take me back to Christmases with my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteFood though? Now that's a very different matter..!
Hope you had a great celebratory weekend.
Tonia - yes maybe nostalgia is a bit word for it...
DeleteI really just want to enjoy the drink, whatever it may be. But for a celebration, it's always nice to make a toast. Another great quote, love that book by Hemingway, makes me realize I need to read it again.
ReplyDeleteSunday - I now want to re read it again too & yes to just enjoying the drink. A toast to enjoyment!
