Daily Sparkle
Posted by Aarti on February 21st, 2013 . Filed under: Uncategorized .Growing up, I thought sparkling water or mineral water as we called it was g to the r to the o-s-s. It seemed a bit acrid to me. But Dad loved it; he’d pour some into his nightly whiskey and always go, “aaaaah!” upon the first sip.
I don’t know why but suddenly I love it. Can’t get enough of it. I suppose what really got it started was the pink grapefruit Perrier.
Oh joy — what a perfectly ladylike beverage. Sparkly, ever so slightly fruity, ever so slightly bitter (like any true lady!) and… calorie-free! I reach for some whenever I need a pick me up, and also whenever I’m hungry; the bubbles fill me up long enough to figure out whether I’m really hungry, or I’m bored/sad/angry/thirsty.
And if you’ve followed me on Facebook or Instagram then you know that this combo is always my snack of choice when I go on a road trip:
A little bit trailer park, a little bit Central Park.
And so imagine my joy when Bren brought home a box full o’ these:
JOY JOY JOY!
Now I can have one everyday!
Plus, now that they come in a can, they come a little closer to the name my brother-in-law coined for them…
Day beers.

Me too! hated it when I was young, can’t get enough, now.
Although, I will admit that I DO mix my “evening” Perrier (the plain one) with chardonnay. Loves!

Hi Aarti! I am currently plotting to make your pulled pork recipe. I was very inspired when I watched a video of you making it on the internet. I found frozen mango pulp at the supermarket, is that the same as mango puree?
Anywho,
I am a proud sparkling water junkie. My boyfriend got me a sodastream (sparkling water maker) for Christmas last year. It’s the best thing ever to have sparkling water at hand whenever I crave it and a great money saver. But I do love me some perrier from time to time
xo!

Good site! I really love how it is nice on my eyes it is. I am wondering how I could be notified when a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your RSS feed which may do the trick? Have a nice day! I was just searching for this info for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Goggling, at last I got it in your website. I wonder what is the Google’s issue that doesn’t rank this kind of informative web sites closer to the top. Generally the top web sites are full of garbage.

I too am addicted to the bubbly pink grapefruit Perrier! It is so refreshing. Otherwise I would snack all day. When they only have lemon or lime available in the grocery store it leaves me feeling a little flat.
