That looks pretty good. What is on top of the asparagus (besides the walnuts) though? Oh, I guess they are some sort of mushrooms.

OK... sounds like I should give Rain a chance. I do like rain and Rain vodka so....

Those look pretty nice. I bought two. I am guessing they are only silver plated (or "colored") though at that price.

Interested to hear your impressions!

Sorry Raffy, that is really horrible.

Does she has a 13" or 15" MBP?

Any recommendations for laptop stands for a 15" Macbook Pro. I would plan to have this next to a 20" Apple monitor (using the laptop as a second monitor). I have an external mouse and keyboard. I was looking at the Rain Mstand. I like everything about this except for the fact that it is not as wide and deep as the laptop making it seem a bit unstable. I could imagine myself hitting the side of the laptop and knocking it over. http://www.raindesigninc.com/mstand.html I don't want a cheap stand made of plastic. Something sturdy, wood or metal would be good. I want something with a slope so it doesn't take up as much room on the desk.

If you read it, it must be true.

Opened up the windows today - first night to get into the low 60's!!!

The Jets/Ravens game, WTF???

Approved Not approved! You couldn't make do with Google Docs or NeoOffice?

What do you have against red dye #2?

A good steak deserves a good after dinner scotch: Springbank 12yr Cask.

Having some more of the mediocre Dos Fincas Cab/Malbec but at least I am having it with a really great ribeye steak cooked on the grill. Why is it that the mediocre wines seem to last forever.

Doesn't "A rather expensive and spectacularly mediocre..." describe just about anything at an airport?

Yay Chris and family! Congrat!!!

Nice Jeff.

Sorry Al.

Miguel, thanks for the suggestion. I have some Cointreau but don't like it as much as Creole Shrubb or Grand Marnier (with Creole Shrubb my absolute favorite in margaritas).

What did you think of the Boulevardier with Gran Classico? I should have made mine with HC modified proportions. I wasn't sure about getting the Griottine cherries but now I am glad I did (and bought the large container). They are really nice.

I am glad you clarified that.

Bloody Mary (with recipe). Yum. Also, I have decided that I love Sriracha sauce (originally bought for Jacob's Bloody Mary recipe). I put it on almost everything now: pizza, chicken, sandwiches, etc. I should add it to the favorite new things thread.

Like.

Did you finally find a leg of lamb? Unfortunately, I had a crappy 2010 Dos Fincas Cab/Malbec blend with dinner. Not recommended. I did have a nice after dinner treat though: 4:1 ratio of Maison Surrenne cognac to Grand Imperial orange liqueur. Tasty. Thanks for the recommendation Jacob.

Will do.
