Some Fade to Black Vol 2 with dinner (grilled cheese made with Cabot private stock extra sharp white cheddar, tomatoes, caramelized onions, grilled garlic, pesto, and goat cheese... unfortunately not on very good bread though)

I think I am going to do the same Jeff. Glossy or Antiglare? I have a Matte screen on my MPB and don't know if I could stand the glossy screen.

I am going to get a new 13" or 15" MBP. I want the power of the 15" in the 13" size, like usual.

Well, err umm, it is because I am lazy and go to the upload page on imgur where I can reduce the picture size when uploading. If anyone knows who to make imgur automatically always reduce pictures to a reasonable size, please let me know. Thx.

Cheers Naaman, from Shelly!

Welcome back Naaman!!! :prettyprincess: Having a Hendricks and Dolin Dry dirty martini (jalapeno stuffed) olives now but will be toasting your return with a Parker 27 after I finish this. That sounds good. That sounds *very* good.

Pretty nice handles there! I like #13.

Please do wear that on your last day of work if you decide to quit or get fired. It is quite annoying.

^Nice way to start the day!

Seems that they still have some Tristars in Indigo (will ship in March). I ordered one last night. My husband thinks the black is boring and has claimed the Aeronaut as his own because he likes the color. I figure he needs a matchng Tristar before they run out. They are comng out with new colors. I wonder what they will be and if I should return the black Tristar and get one of the new colors...

Too lazy to mix something so I am settling for a little Parker 27yr.

Dinny, I love the interior of the Tristar (Iberian which is a really nice color red). It is just that, after seeing the Indigo, the black looks kinda stuffy and boring... maybe good if you are a boring suit though. Of course, I did wear a blue t-shirt with cookie monster on it to work today so maybe you might be looking for something a little more professional. Also, they are not going to have Black and Ultraviolet, just Steel and Ultraviolet. I am going to do a little practice packing this weekend. Once I figure out how much I can fit in the bag, I will probably feel much better about the purchase.

Damn, too bad I gave away my Roku box.

Nice! Let me guess, the 1946 Grand Champagne Maison Surrene Cognac for only $599? MS Cognac

I got the TriStar today, seems like a nice little bag, I like all the separate compartments. First impressions, it seems pretty small but I haven't tried packing it yet. Also, the black isn't nearly as pretty as the Indigo. I am thinking of sending it back and waiting for the Indigo... we'll see.

Cool!

Looking a little low on the Maison Surrenne.

Happy Birthday Dan!!!

Anvil #36: Gin Gin Mule Thought I wouldn't like this since it called for Ginger Beer. However, I got some Sprecher's Ginger Ale as suggested by Vicki and Matt and used that.... to my surprise, I really liked this drink. The Sprecher's Ginger Ale is fairly subtle. 2 oz Blue Coat gin 3/4 oz lime juice 1/2 oz agave Syrup (instead of simple syrup) fresh mint Sprecher's Ginger Ale Muddle fresh mint with agave syrup and lime juice. Add gin and ice and shake until cold. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Top with ginger ale and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

I want to get some of that!

No pun intended? Seriously, that sucks and is scary.

Did you finish "Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails?" I just checked and I still have 49 left to go on Anvil! I am kinda slow.

Fade to Black - yummy indeed Will do, thanks!

I bought a six pack of Left Hand Fade to Black Vol II "smoked baltic porter" today and I would like to be drinking one right now... but I have to go pick up our seminar speaker so it will have to wait.

Raffy: I love the Pappy 20yr! Good buy. I'll pick up some Sprecher's Ginger Soda today - they carry it at the grocery store where I shop. I have liked all their other sodas.
