Nothing wrong with Napa + Cab + ribs! Nice. Yesterday, I found a bunch of Burton Baton I put aside last year.

Fax is on, please send a CR2!

Margarita

I use Bob's Red Mill SCO and it takes about 20 minutes on the stove (after the water has boiled). Making them in the microwave sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

^^ That is what I do.

Same here (except with berries and brown sugar) - steel cut oats rock!

Going camping/hiking?

Sizzling Cinnamon flavor Jelly Belly jelly beans

Good looking stuff Mikey, Raffy, and Al. Earlier: Real Ale Lost Gold IPA on draught (not my pic) Now: 2008 La Posta Pizzella Malbec (also not my pic) - good but I think I might prefer the Cocina.... could just be the meal though.

Impressive (as usual). If you drink all that you aren't going to remember much of the weekend.

Mike: You sure you got the right day and time, where is everyone? Seriously, congrat and have fun!

Glad the procedure went well Ken! Hope there is no part three.

Unfortunately, I just canceled my order. :( Some expenses came up last night that were unexpected so I will have to put off getting the GF2 for now.

Same as Jim plus... (deal at B&H) Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 Digital Micro Four Thirds Camera W/14-42mm Lens (Black) + Panasonic PA45200 45-200mm f/4-5.6 G Vario MEGA O.I.S. Lens for Micro Four Thirds SLR *Hoping* to get slightly better pictures than the LX5 (especially with moving subjects with low light) with a slightly smaller camera than the D90 + 18-200 lens (for some travel)

Nothing from threadless (Dusty)?

Snakes like good wine.

Got the Gator in the mail today and it is much nicer in person (and I *love* the olive color). Vicki mentioned that it was the perfect size for a gym bag and she was right... it is the perfect size (for me). Looks like the Sunchaser will be only getting used when I need to carry the squash or tennis racquet. A picture next to the Sunchaser, Tom Bihn ID, and Tom Bihn (small Cafe bag) which I had in my office.

But are you drinking it in your undies?

Just wait for round three! Back to Anvil for me. Stinger 9/4 oz Maison Surrenne cognac 3/4 oz bright green Marie Brizzard Creme de Menthe Pretty good for a super minty green drink. I would probably do a 4:1 instead of 3:1 ratio and wouldn't bother wasting Maison Surrenne on this next time though.

Nice!

According to this article, it is new for 2008. La Posta Starts New Year With New Wines I bought the bottle at a local Texas grocery store (Central Market) but I noticed that they have it at our local spirits/wine/beer warehouse "Specs" so it shouldn't be too hard to find. I thought is was really quite good - better than the Bonarda but that may just be my preference. I haven't tried the "Pizzella" or "Paulucci" Malbecs yet though, so I cannot really compare it to those. Here is the back of the bottle for more information. I had some grapefruit so I decided to make something with that. Palm Beach Special 3/2 oz Blue Coat gin 3/4 oz fresh squeezed grapefruit juice 1/2 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth Cheers to Al, Jim, Dan, Raffy, Dinny, Dusty, Mike, and the Hoboken bitches!

2008 La Posta Cocina Malbec

Flew back home after a productive trip to Connecticut. I like being home.
