A recent request by a fellow book club member got me thinking about how certain beverages are tied so closely to performing certain activities. The book for July is A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick. The request was to discuss the book over wine. Apparently, the book becomes quite provocative in the later chapters (I will let you know after I have finished it). Going back to the topic of beverages, I realized how many activities I link directly to what is inside of my cup. There are common associations like water & exercise and hot chocolate & ice skating. But then again, I have, what I would consider, uncommon associations. I think of nothing else but a skinny flat white each time I walk the dog through the park. Just stepping inside the front door of my mother's home creates a thirst for a big glass of ice cold milk. And, bringing this discussion back to books, when I am reading a good book, my taste buds yearn for a big mug of hot tea, no matter what the thermometer reads.
Two Questions: What beverage do you associate with reading a good book? Any uncommon beverage associations?
