Visiting whuppet and brewing enquiry
My mother's ancient whuppet Flash has come to visit for the week while she is on holiday. He arrived with a hugely-padded bed, a roast chicken, a bag of fishskin treats that I can't help thinking of as 'Seabiscuits', his own nightlight, and instructions not to worry too much if he refuses to eat.
I am told he has 'gone off tripe sticks'. But apparently that only counts when there are not two other dogs looking hungrily at the tripe sticks. Flash seems very happy staying with us. Az, however, is a bit miffed. I think he is of the opinion that the wobbly ancient whuppet niche in our house is already occupied, and that there is no call for a smaller, cuter whuppet that wants to sit on his people's laps.
In other news, I juiced some blackberries, to find out what juiced blackberries are like. The juice had a slightly bitter aftertaste, which I think comes from the middle bit of the blackberry, so I juiced an apple into it as well to sweeten things up a bit. But it was still a bit bitter so I turned it into a sauce.
Anyway, the point is that I shoved the jug that collects all the leftovers from the juicer out of the way and forgot to wash it, and only found it again two days later, by which time it had a brilliant cidery smell. So now I am wondering what would happen if I collected and juiced a pile of blackberries and apples and forgot about the juice for a few days? Would it go mouldy, or would it go cidery?
