The Confession Booth

I've got a crush on my batista.

I'm guessing you meant barista? And that is a crush worthy role... I mean, tasty coffee is life blood right?

My husband is my barista, so me too!  And the way he makes my coffee, he is a barista in both the Italian meaning as well as our usage.  All the booze!

Haha that's amazing. When we're settled I'll have to rebuild the liquor cabinet We'll be prepared for game night!

For ages, we talked about how "when we have a house" we would "one day build out a liquor cabinet"... We have the house, but not the cabinet.  But I got tired of waiting.  There's a wall niche in the lounge that I just started filling with various bottles, based on what we were wanting to drink* and then restocking when they run out.  One day we will have a proper liquor cabinet.  For now, we just have the liquor.

* e.g., Want margaritas with Mexican platter? No problem! <orders Cointreau and Cuervo>; Want eggnog**?  I'm on it!  <orders rum>

** We are still occasionally having eggnog, this far out from Christmas.  We can't help ourselves.  It's nom.

I kinda meant the proverbial cabinet as well. My previous one was the bottom shelf of my pantry I like having what I want on hand even though I rarely drink!

Same.  Though since we've had it on hand, I do have a drink more than I ever used to.  But it's only at the weekend or holidays, when my husband is home, and I'll have maybe a coffee in the early part of the day, or a margarita or eggnog in the evening.  Rarely more than one drink in a weekend.  And many weekends I have nothing.

I just like knowing it's there.  It's like having a well-stocked pantry.  (Larder?  Whatever they say here.)  I just feel better knowing I have plenty of staples ready if I need them.

I never really drank at all until my kid hit 2 years old.  Wow.  Try to stop me now!   

Margo, we can take a trip to Costco when it's time to stock.  Their prices are hard to beat!

You have a preschooler and an infant.  I would never try to get in your way of booze!

My husband had no concept of a well stocked pantry. He'd only keep on hand what he was eating that week and nothing else. So I've been stocking a staple or two with every weekly order. Its nice not running out of rice or coffee every week! He has no liquor atm and I'm a tad worried about stocking it because his 'off' switch for alcohol in all occasions we've been drinking so far was the bottle being empty, including wine on a week night. So unless his relationship with limits changes I won't keep it around, but I'm hoping it does. I come from a family of alcoholics so that's made me uncomfortable to say the least!

Woo hoo! I love how the conversation moved from coffee to booze, seems appropriate for the title though!
