A macchiato from Big Bear Cafe, my caffeine-vehicle of choice. From Big Bear's Flickr.
Via Melissa McCart’s twitter, My Life Is A Series Of Liquids. A delightfully precious inventory of one foodie’s liquid life. I’m with the author/artist as far as coffee and red wine go, but I drink water like it’s going out of style. My other sustaining liquids would probably be club soda, campari, beer and olive oil. What are yours?
i wonder why avocado oil is not as popular as olive oil. it has one of the highest smoke points ~ 500 degrees.
i find that olive oil kind of burns in my throat…but avocado oil is absolutely smooth. it has a real richness to it, and yet, it also has a delightful lightness.
it is extremely healthy, and when you are not cooking with it, it is a wonderfully healthy moisturizer for your skin!
(if something isnt safe enough to eat, dont put it on your skin day after day. your skin deserves safe and healthy liquids too.)
-Coffee (16 oz per day, in a large steel mug. Finishing it right now!)
-Flavored sparkling water (strawberry kiwi is best, but I’ll also take black cherry or berry flavors), and about 16-20 oz of filtered tap per day with meals/meds
-Olive oil
-Salad dressing

Whiskey, water, coffee, beer. In that order. I’m so boringly predictable.
