Be well, Shelly, and glad to hear it is starting out ok. No cocktails for you tonight, but valium on top of the other stuff makes everything seem just dandy in my limited op/post-op experience.

Ditto, except instead of hoping I am certain all will be well because if yours doesn't play out well then I ain't gettin' my surgery! It is great that you set up your A/V cave for recovery time, so relax and enjoy it as much as possible. And w00t! to Antonio for his imminent entry into Team Best Headphone in the World!

Waldo?

Congrats indeed!

I gotta agree.

Thank heavens.

Harsh.

Nice pickup John!

Congrat Jacob!

Monkey River Dance is disturbing.

That is frickin awesome, Jim.

Tramonto al Sud (Sunset to the South) 3/4 oz Nonino Amaro 3/4 oz Campari 3/4 oz bourbon (Blanton’s is suggested but I suspect Maker’s will work just as well) 3/4 lemon juice Shake vigorously and double strain into cocktail glass Ok, 1oz each. Interesting. Might knock back the Campari next time.

I think the periphery ring clamp is great and I have used it with plenty of drinks in me.

Tennessee Hollow Cocktail from link posted earlier today.

Nice pairing, Shelly.

Oh hell, I can't tell if those last two posts make me more hungry or more thirsty! Nicely done, gents. Just finished a house-made cappuccino but wanting all of the cocktails on this new list: http://articles.sfgate.com/2011-11-06/food/30368138_1_new-drinks-grapefruit-juice-david-wondrich

We monkeyed up The Monkey's birthday! Hope it was a good one Dinny! I'm going to make a Manhattan nightcap and toast your good health. Cheers!

Bummer about the Floyds. On the other hand, Claire and I use the term "Melvined" for any overtly grating and oppressive music so maybe you avoided more agony.

Smoked Porter in a Cigar City snifter,...get it? Now toasting the FFF crew. Have fun Mike, Deb and Jeff!

Beauty, Jim. How did it taste? Do you like the Nardini?

Welcome back Mike.

Thanks Brian, I'll check it out.

Frisco Cocktail 2oz rye .25+oz Benedictine .75oz lemon juice Shake, double strain and enjoy.

Good choice.
