Nice Justin! As for me, got a package from guy from NorCal, who's quite a pal, laughs like a Val and drinks like a Sal.

Very nice Al. That post made my day. Having a La Fortaleza anejo margarita right now and it is awesome. Thanks Al! 2 oz La Fortaleza anejo tequila 1 oz Creole Shrubb orange liqueur 1/2 oz lime juice Delicioso!

Did someone get hungry?

LOL

Good to know Al, I won't try to hard too try hard to find it. Really looking to the Fortaleza. Have you tried both the reposado and anjeo? Which do you like better. Guess I should have asked this before I had the anejo sent here.

^That + DAC would be a pretty nice rig.

Approved? Isn't Jeff in DC right now as well?

That is close!

Haven't seen that one and a quick check says it isn't at my local store. I'll see if I can find it to try at a restaurant. Mikey: What is that one? It looks kinda fancy. I would really like to try Casa Noble Single Barrel Extra Anejo. I forgot to mention that I tried some Pura Vida at the store the other day and wasn't impressed with it. So I will be skipping that bottle. I have a bottle of La Fortaleza (Abuelos) Anejo on route from NoCal right now from a certain friendly HCer. Cannot wait to try it.

Tripod and ballhead have shipped! Too bad I will be out of town this weekend.

Don Julio anejo and Partida anejo. Yep, I like the Partida more than the Don Julio. I have also decided that I like good tequila. Mikey: You must have had too much wine, that steak is awfully blurry.

Not happy about Austin. You need more IR spots Jeff. Crap, I need more IR spots, just realized I have 3 guys out on my first team plus Foster.

Heh, I was thinking the same when Mike said he would help out financially.

Yay for Claire the friend! I'll drink to that. Also, that goodness the Cicadas are ok. Phew.

I don't know what cider donuts are but I want some.

I'll make sure to wear my snake suit so I can fit in.

I was suspicious (since the usual Martinez has the amounts essentially switched as you mentioned). Since I had never had the Genever gin, I went with the recipe on that site. That was dumb.

I want some Seasmoke. Let me know about that place... I'll check it out if I have the time while I am there. Decided to crack open the Bols. Martinez (from this site). 2 oz Cocchi Torino sweet vermouth 1 oz Bols Genever gin 1 tsp Maraschino liqueur 1 dash Boker's bitters lemon peel The problem with this drink was that the sweet vermouth overpowered all the other ingredients. Otherwise it was fine.

This made me laugh.

Do report back.

Oh, ok. I guess I have those four in the fridge as well. By the way Marc, did you see my post about the Bols Genever? We have finally gotten them at Specs here. If you don't have a bottle and want one, I will be in Austin in early October.

Since we have had a couple of damp days, I felt it was safe to break out the BBQ and grill a ribeye steak... so good... and the backyard is not on fire either.

Really? 4 dry vermouths?
