This is a Chinese aperitiv with leechees:


Hey, do you need any leeches for that drink? I just happen to have some right here, fresh from Riding Horses Lake in Alberta!!

Was my spelling wrong? My dictionary says the Chinese fruit can be spelled either litchi, leechee, lichee or lychee in Englisch  :o

Thanks, Lee, but NO thanks to the offer for the leeches  :laugh:

Another aperitiv, anyone?

I have this Norwegian specialty, but I forgot its name (Mikaela, where are you?)



Aquavit? Yes, I think it's an Aquavit.

BTW: I know you already had appetizers at the writer's forums, but you can't have too much alcohol without food (I don't want anyone to lose his internet user's licence  ;)).
So here are some more appetizers:

Awww, thanks, that's so sweet of you  :-*

And how fitting, since Katherine and I are both allergic to horses  :laugh:
But we like them anyway. And luckily we're not allergic to virtual hoses  :D

I think the lichee and lychee spellings are most common. I have to say, when I saw "leechee" I thought of the blood sucking kind, too, which I why I ordered a cosmpolitan! LOL

I finished that...how about a Mojito, this time?

And don't worry, I am eating plenty of appetizers....
