Awww, bunny. If you come up to Leeds when you've had the ankle biter then I'll make you a huge pitcher full of Pimms. Promise.

I'm there !!

I know that Pimms is a touchy subject, but I tried it for the first time last weekend.  I never knew what it was and guess I still don't, but itl's niiiice  .  We went to a house party and the host had a big lot of it chilled with bits of cucumber, peeled apple, mint leaves and ice cubes.  Oh my goodness, who needs food with alcohol like that?

I did tick alcohol by the way.  I love Stella, far too much probably - poor thing, and I could not get that at home.

I also love the sandwiches here.  Who would have thought of feta cheese and red onion?  Yummy!

waaaaaaaaaaaaah !! 

ps someone told me Pimms is made from gin.

Oh, man!  Now you had to go and talk about gin!

I'm picturing it...one of my crystal lowball glasses...filled with ice...over which crackles and fizzes a Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic, so pure it looks more white than clear...the sharp fragrance hits my nostrils as I squeeze a chunk of lime over the glass and drop the lime in, giving the glass a tiny shake to mix the flavors...

Oh man...it's alcohol porn.  At least you get to have a drink SOON, Britwife...I've got until Christmas if I'm lucky.  CHRISTMAS.

From viewlondon.co.uk

Pimm's was invented in the 1840s, by the owner of an oyster bar in the City of London. James Pimm offered the tonic (which was a gin based drink containing quinine and a secret mixture of herbs) as an aid to digestion, and served it in a small tankard. This is where the "No. 1 Cup" moniker arose.

After the Second World War, Pimms extended their range, utilising a number of other spirits as bases for new "cups". No. 2 cup was based on Scotch, No. 3 employed brandy, No. 4 rum, No. 5 rye and No. 6 vodka. The only one of the variants still in production is the vodka cup, No. 6, although this is made in much smaller quantities than the original No. 1 cup.

Today's Guardian mag has a yummy looking recipe for Grapefruit, Pimms and Mint sorbet. I might make some of that up and save it ... not long to go now ...
