the cocktail bible! lol. you’re in the pool of summer i see. what’s your coordinate?
me:
that’s a first
LOL!!!!!
I would love a cocktail right now 
btw, which fruit is that in the photo?? is it orange?
me: Lemons. Look at the tag above
OG, you need to spend more time buying veggies & fruits and in the kitchen…Can’t tell the difference between a lemon and an orange?
me: Ha..ha…ha.. Hi-fi, Bones.
hahahhahahahha
and those certainly look have an orangish look to them 
to be fair to OG, he did not read the Tag above
LOL….
me: *Solilo orders new specs for OG*
not orange.. but lime like.. look the color is yellow not orange!!
what…. the “sathukudi” is yellowish green in color
me: What is sathukudi?
sathukudi is a orange like fruit which is used for making juice……
It is green in color……..
me: I think you mean Sweet Lime. Even that is Yellow or Green and shaped like Orange. This is clearly Lemon.
there is no way that you find them to be orange like.. Og no way at all !!
arre, mistake is mine
LOL hahahahahahahahhaahha
I accept!!!!!!! so much discussion about lemon and orange
me: Ha..ha..ha.. OG.
1st ……………. I just love these summers !!! ……… Have a good one
me: Rahul, you in the ‘me first’ game too
now that’s one margarita on you ..:) today was good .. we didn’t wear jackets..
me: We were burning. For last 2 days it is in the 90s. But the best is driving at 9 in the beautiful dusk. Love it when days are longer.
Having been a teetotaller now for over a decade, all I can see is nimbu paani here!
me: Lemonade and cocktails for Summer
wow the cocktail bible… solilo can i come over to have some u make
and oh ya the oranges bliss
there are indeed some good things about summers
me: Yes. Come over, Monix. You are my kinda girl.
They are Lemons.
Somehow this reminds me of Indy’s quote about lemons
he he…
me: Ha…ha..ha…why am I not surprised.
dirty mind !
Can’t help it, the weather is so ‘hot’
I too would like to know whether thats an orange?
me: Lemons.
see other people have the same doubt
me: *Everyone is getting new specs courtesy Solilo’s specs shop*
what a ‘refreshing’ photograph!
me: Bones, Thanks
Very tempting
me:
Me wants the pretty dish!!
me: One Lemon dish coming up
is that your lawn? ah these fresh spotless lemons? i am thirsty now!!
me: So lemonade or Cocktails. Take your pick.

me: Sure.

We were in California during March and April, last year and the weather was not very cold to my son’s standard but for us the mornings were chilly. Then we came to New Jersey and god, it was VERY cold over there. We are invited to come there during July-August, when the weather will be superb. People spend most of their time outdoors and everyone will be happy – no indoor fighting or unhappiness, it seems. They are the happiest days, they feel.
me: Fall is the best season.
I can sense your happiness from the photograph, Solilo. I too prefer lemon juice to Orance juice. The book looks interesting. Both you and Peanut must be sitting somewhere there!
me: Peanut playing and having lemonade and her parents near the bible
arrree wah!!!
i LOVE lemons!!! i drink nimboo paani at like midnight even!
that is a beautiful summer shot Solilo! what cocktail did u make???
me: Midnight too?
Margarita.
lol @ ur mood meter! hee!
i have collected so many books on cocktails n mocktails n smoothies…most recipes ask for fruits that i can’t find here in India. even when i ask at a supermarket, they gimme a “what language is she talking, she looks Indian” kinda look
cranberries, blueberries, clementines…i know them by heart…coz i can’t find them
me: I am sure you will get it at some place. At least the frozen ones. I know for sure that you get Blueberries in Mumbai.
post snap of cocktail!!!!
i cud see n feel drunk! 
I used to love summers when i was in school– no books and full time free.
Now i dont,all the seasons are same now
me: The only season I dislike is Winter. I always have. I love Autumn, Summer, Spring in that order.
Only thing i like summers are for mangoes,here i get pakistani mangoes,their taste is awesome and i just love them
me: Mangoes are yum. Also, all the Summer fruits.
Summer is good as long as its not humid….HK tends to get extremely humid and sweaty….
Lemon ..one of the most best gift fm nature..
me: Yes.
have a refreshing summer !
cheers
Oh Sols!! Summer afternoons indeed!! We are having fabulous weather here too! And this pic is so much like my mood here!!!
me: Totally talli eh?
By the way, have updated my last post to tag you too – i had not tagged you and Indyeah as you had been tagged already – but decided that re-tagging will not hurt
http://wordsndreamz.wordpress.com/2009/05/30/cherished-forever/#comment-1923#comment-1929
me: Arre Smi, Rash tagged me too. But thanks anyways.
I refreshed 4.5 times but still can not view the complete pic
So all I can see is refreshing yellow color, so so summerish…
me: Oh! the picture is of Lemons in a Lemon dish and a Cocktail book.
Love the dish!!! So was this just for the sake of a photo, or did the lemons actually transform into a cooling cocktail later???
me: Not only Lemons but Pineapple also transformed
Temp. realy shot up in 2 days.
Solilo, are you inviting us there?
me: Most welcome, Manju.
I am enjoying summers for the first time in my life.
me: Ha..ha..ha.. enjoy!

To perk up for tomorrw when school reopens 
me: Oh yeah! you must be so busy with new school year. Will missh you, Ushus.
I love lemon juice
I used to take a cup a day

I dono why so many were confused between lemon and orange…. any idea??
me: I don’t know either. Kanagu, we need to buy new specs for OG.
LoL! hmmmm Cocktails…….
And yes summer is finally here.
me: For you only lemonade.
LoL! No alcohol.
Badz wants to get tipsy. Or even better drunk.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Whats on the menu ? Anything gin based is okay with me
Ah.. i dont mind blue lagoon.. or orange blossom.. umm but then simply screw driver would do too

Oh you made margaritha? Cool! try mojito too.. esp mango mojito! I once had chocolate martini.. it was swell!!
P.S: Post the pic
me: Will this do for now?
That is so refreshing!! yes .. have to make do.. reminds me.. i havent had anything for sometime now.. this weekend am heading to a pub
Actually, its 50 degrees here (Celcius) so I have the biggest claim to that cocktail…
me: 50 C?! And here I thought we were burning at 90 F (32 C)
Yeah, it’s so hot that if I leave gum in the car, it turns to biscuit.
But on a diff. note, I read that even weekend drinking could ruin the abs that you are spending weeks working towards…
So please excuse me… As it is, last weekend was Hayaa’s b’day so we had a corona night
All the beer just went and accumulated in my paunch.
I want a lemonade now!!!
and finally I get to see the pic, after 2 whole days!
me:
So TAIYAR !!
(thats our gujju word for talli)
on a weekend eh !!

“Talli,talli ,mai talli ho gayi”….so,someone is really welcoming summer with open arms and a book!Gosh,and I’m fuming in this heat!U knw its almost touched 50C here in this part of the world!and its May only.What a climatic paradoxy isnt it Sols??
me: Deeps, it is June already
Welcome back.

i want to have lemon Juice now
me: One lemonade coming right up, Ma’am.

Those are plastic lemons, isnt it?? Now wonder OG had a problem identifying it !!
me: And the DEVIL is back
LOL, Im sure you will murder me for my comments for that mushy post of Indyeah !
me: *Hopping over to Indyeah’s to read the comment while sharpening my dagger.*
yes!yes! do give him a nick or two with that dagger Solilo!
me:
Here lemon also comes in the size of oranges:), I am the odd obne out here, dont like orange much:) prefer cherries and since this is the season I am relishing them:)
me: I prefer cherries too.
When I was young, in my grandmother’s home, we used to have such big lemons – like oranges. We planted those seeds in our garden too, but we changed houses before we could get a fruit from the plant! After that I never saw big lemons. So, you are very lucky!!
Destination Infinity
me: Lime is small, Green and sour. Lemons are big, Yellow and tangy-sweet. We get both here.
In India we mostly use Lime that are green or yellowish-green.
OMG…I HATE SUMMER!! Does that say enough? We’ve been here just 2 days and sonny is sick already
I wanna go home!!! Lovely pic btw, of the lemons and book et al!
me: You do? Aww…I love Summer even the humid ones.
I associate this season with happiness. I love long days though it was a bit stormy today.
Me likeee! Pliss to courier some cocktails my way, Sol!
me: Margarita for Mystic Margarita
