Just think "champagne for breakfast". :-) I think that every morning but what has it to do with mimosa??? Strawberries perhaps ... From Wikipedia A Mimosa is a cocktail-like drink composed of three parts champagne and two parts thoroughly chilled orange juice, traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch. It is also often served to early guests at weddings, and in first class on jet airliners. Mimosa... INGREDIENTS: Champagne (1 bottle) Orange Juice (1 carton) PREPARATION: Fill half of a champagne flute with chilled champagne and top off with chilled orange juice, gently stir. For added flare, slice up a strawberry to decorate the rim of each flute. Passion Fruit Mimosa... INGREDIENTS: Champagne (1 bottle) Passion Fruit Juice (1 carton) PREPARATION: Fill half of a champagne flute with chilled champagne and top off with chilled passion fruit juice, gently stir. For added flare, slice up a strawberry or an orange to decorate the rim of each flute. Mama Mimosa... INGREDIENTS: Champagne (1 Bottle) Orange Juice (1 Bottle) Orange Liquer 1/2 cup fresh raspberries PREPARATION: Fill half of an 8oz. glass with chilled champagne and add another 4 oz. of chilled orange juice, gently stir. Next add 1-2 tablespoons of orange liquer and mix thoroughly. For the final touch, add raspberry ice just before serving. (* Raspberry ice - crumble fresh raspberries and place the crumbles into ice cube trays, fill with water and freeze. ) |

I was once very proud to grow a mimosa (sensitive plant) from seed, a son would take it with him when he bathed, he 'exercised' it by stroking the open fronds and watched them close. Ah well, there are worse things for an adolescent to do in the bath. Mary |

Champagne is fabulous if it's drunk ice-cold within 10 minutes of opening, and a bottle should be poured into half a dozen small glasses to be enjoyed at once. Allowed to lose more than a little of its sparkle, however, it's a pretty poor excuse for white wine. :-) Mimosa is a plant or tree. Uhhh, yeah.

I can't imagine what you are talking about. He had a spate of playing the recorder in there, said it was the only place he could get peace and quiet. daughter played her double bass in there - not at the same time. Then there was the time he took up a jam jar and filled it with ... um ... nice day, isn't it! Bless him, he's on a tour of duty in the Falklands right now and has sent me THREE e-birthday cards. Just like a man, not being able to decide which to send :-) Mary |

A good wine never needs to have its flavour chilled out of it :-( I agree that it should be drunk immediately - ten minutes is far too long, by that time you should have opened a second bottle. That's what we'll be doing today, for my birthday! Mimosa is a plant or tree. Uhhh, yeah. I was the one with the tentative "mimosa" tree-ID, remember? At my age my short term memory is shot. That's why I need a second bottle .... and if I forget that ... :-) I was once very proud to grow a mimosa (sensitive plant) from seed, a son would take it with him when he bathed, he 'exercised' it by stroking the open fronds and watched them close. Ah well, there are worse things for an adolescent to do in the bath. Such as - perhaps - stroking closed fronds and watching them open? ;-) That certainly would be unusual :-) Mary |
