Tell us about that wine! 

Watching this as I sip my cup of coffee 

#communitypower 

@john.desborough I would, but I only travel with a carry on, so I have limited room! 

@Gabriel trust me, better not to know about the wine. It’s basically a watered-down rose, but at least the bottle is a good giggle!

@Liz - https://www.homegrounds.co/best-portable-espresso-maker/

i have a Pipamoka for my bike travels these days..  and they sell coffee in stores in most parts of Canada and the US lol

Happy Friday, all! It’s @Gabriel ‘s birthday this weekend - yay!! 

I’m having a tapas night with sangria this weekend, so if anyone has any good recipes, send ‘em my way ha!

@Gabriel  - Happy Birthday sir.. we could have had a party call! lol.. enjoy getting older and trying to catch up to this curmudgeon! I will be sure to have a toast in your honour.. ok.. more than toast, I will go with @Liz and make tapas here.. lol

@Liz - i have used almost all of the vegan tapas recipes at this link (https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/tapas-dishes-impress-your-friends/) given my adoption of the Dark Side of plant-based dining lol 

cheers!

des

Oh!! This is really great, @john.desborough . Thanks for sharing! My close friend is vegetarian, so I’m sure she’ll love these recipes. 

@Gabriel we’ll have to have digital cake when you’re back at work!

Thanks @john.desborough ! Where’s my digital cake, Liz 

I had a fab time on Saturday, we went up to Olivella, up the road from Sitges. Sunday wasn’t that fun, my son got car sick and made a huge mess inside the car 

Im still washing clothes and stuff 

@Gabriel - other than getting the car cleaned, it sounds like a nice way to spend a birthday weekend. I hope the little guy is feeling better today

Ewwwwww!!! 

Also, @Gabriel : 

Happy 5,000 members’ day folks. Will post something later today so we can celebrate properly 

Wow @vickioneill congrats for the Champions badge!

@vickioneill - well done! 

I’ve been on a brief hiatus at the Barception, but I’m back! And here’s an exact image of me this past week on my days without coffee.

I can relate. @Liz  . and i think several of my friends thought the same thing: this year instead of getting bottles of Scotch for my birthday i received about 24 pounds of coffee from a variety of sources and friends. 

@Gabriel - this is the one that opened today.. Ecuadorian beans .. by a small shop not far from home.. 

(probably strong enough to help Baby Yoda lift the Tower Bridge in London and drop it in Valencia

@john.desborough do they ship?! 

I will ask…  @Liz 

It’s Monday, all! And instead of coffee to share today, I have this beer below I tried over the weekend. You can only get it at a chain restaurant here in the states (as far as I’m concerned), but for a chain spot, it’s pretty good!

@Liz - beer is always good.. 

As you all know my recently new obsession with my Nespresso machine….so more pods came in today!! 

@Liz - i see a walking caffeine-zombie this weekend lol..
