Grog, the Civilized Version




We are having the hottest weekend so far this summer, with temps at 30C with the humidex at 36C and now a Tornado watch.  For those of you still measuring distances in medieval Kings' body parts and temps based on sick Germans, I don't know the translation to Farenheit.

So we went for the modern reboot of18th Century Naval Grog -Mojitos.  Actually the recipe is not that different: rum, sugar, soda water, lime, mint.  Very refreshing, and the mint camefrom the garden.

      We would gladly trade for some rain. The North has a lot of forest fires, with thousands of people evacuated south and we had really bad air quality from the smoke all last week.
      Cheers, PD
