The rhubarb and ...I like the sound of those drinks! The rhubarb and elderflower sound lovely and the sloe gin and port. My dad used to do that kind of thing years ago but I've not had a go at it yet. The analogy is great, works really well. I spend far too much time steeping and stewing, but when you're in it it's really hard to dig yourself out or take the teabag out. You know that if you don't stop things will continue or get worse and you aren't getting anything done but then you worry about that and get stuck in the mire again. It's a vicious cycle that has many people in it's grip #BigFatLinkyNKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261581344612853339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34293239.post-34584010368598222802015-06-20T08:53:20.604+01:002015-06-20T08:53:20.604+01:00I'm intrigued by you're drink making.

A good reminder to shake things off and move on, thanks!<br /><br />#bigfatlinkyMama, My Kid Doesn't Poop Rainbowshttp://pooprainbows.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34293239.post-53185797172885827212015-06-18T09:07:06.265+01:002015-06-18T09:07:06.265+01:00Great post, and good skills to experiment with dif...Great post, and good skills to experiment with different kinds of brews! I'm not very skilled in that area, although I have made sloe gin before for Christmas time, something I'd like to do again but it can be tricky finding enough sloes around my area! <br /><br />I like your analogy of steeping or stewing in our lives, it's definitely something to think about. I know I've definitely been stewing over a certain situation for far too long, it's just figuring out how to metaphorically take the tea bag out!

You're right, sometimes all we need is a pinch of a new ingredient, or a little stir up :) Thanks for linking up with #AnythingGoes<br />Debbie<br />www.myrandommusings.blogspot.comRandom Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298522848171348845noreply@blogger.com
