Pellegrino. Known to the alchemists of old as the
aqua vitae. The Water of Life.
Well, not really.
In any case, I've become very big on the stuff. For
those who may not know, Pellegrino is a sparkling water
from Italy. I pour it ice cold into a glass and add a
slice of lemon, then take it back to The Cave and listen
to music. For me at least it is a very good substitute
for when I don't want to drink alcohol. Which, anymore,
is most of the time.

Oh, we did! But I decided to take it out of the Comments and do an actual post. Just for the record. Thanks for the derivation info. Pilgrim, huh? "Howdy, pilgrim." :p
"I pour it ice cold into a glass and add a slice of lemon, then take it back to The Cave and listen to music."hells yeah! that's the way i like it! it was a few days ago we were talking about it, no?unless I did dream of it!anyway "Pellegrino" sounds like a "mafia" group :pare you sure it is Water alone?:wine: :cheers: :yes:andsome junk info 😀 http://www.ehow.com/about_5435157_meaning-word-pellegrino-english.html😆 I felt like sharing that too!
I recently went and bought one of these… This way, I can make my own sparkling drinks and add pretty much whichever flavour I desire.
Much cheaper. I have saved a lot of money and quit the getting rid of bottles and cans thing, so it's echological too. You don't have to buy the original flavour, any fruit drink concentrate will do, and if you have a blender, you can use fruit juice as well. I recommend frozen berries, blended with a twist of lime and then four parts sparkeling water. Served icecold. You will faint from deliciousness.By the way, I just did that smørrebrød post we talked about earlier.
Wow that's really cool. I knew they had those water purification things, but didn't know about the sparkling water machines. I would think that it would be cheaper to drink it that way too? After the original investment of course. I'll check it out. Thanks for the info!
As far as I know the carbonizing of the water is free from anything else than carbondioxid, which is as you know air.
:yes:I'll have to check out the nutritional info and make sure it doesn't have any bad stuff like salt. Couldn't really find it on the site but I'm sure it's there somewhere. On my way over for a sandwhich. 🙂
Tap water for me, please 😀
😆
Darko you should print out a sign like that and tape it to your wall — WE SERVE WATER ON TAP. :p:D
Edward and Martin, that machine might convince me to drink water, but the carbonization is bad for the digestive tract, especially when you already have acid reflux. Sounds good, though
The good thing about this machine is, that you can adjust the amount of fuzz to the level you like. One short buzz is enough if you want the water to taste of something else than chlorine and sulfur. However, if you absolutely need Coca Cola level of fuzz, you'd have to buzz it three or four times.
@ LindaSorry to hear about your digestive thing. The only thing I've ever run into that gives me something like acid reflux is tequila. :p@ MartinThat's one thing I like about that machine — you can adjust the fizz.
