Taiwanese Bean Beverage

Smart Taiwanese Bean Beverage

Yesterday Dan said that Latvians are lucky.
But today is another day and for breakfast I decided to serve up this Taiwanese Bean Beverage to my Latvian guest *Emils. Just a little good morning experiment. Emils remained cheerful throughout the tasting although shortly after fulfilling his task as guinea pig he dashed out of the house supposedly to buy a shirt - but I think he hauled off and got a bagel.

  1. ‘discorea rhizome’ sounds -and dyslectics might even read it as such- like ‘diarrhoea’. No wonder Emils had to dash out…
    Yes. I did have a beer and a glass of wine.
    JT made beautiful lamb chops, juicy and tasty.
