shellylh Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 that's what i get for spending 2 months income on an engagement ring. That is an expensive ring... I would be afraid to wear it. Mark: That drinks sounds good... not sure about the peach brandy but Smith and Cross + Shrubb sounds good. I happen to find some fresh mint and bourbon in the house so I decided to have a Mint Julep*. It was not a bad decision. *Although this does not live up to Al's Mint Julep with a punch (and I don't have any fancy glasses.... yet).
Voltron Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Nice julep, Shelly. Very pretty and I am sure very tasty. The Stagg julep was awesome. Nice kick like a hoof to the head! I was inspired to try Marc's concoction even without the peach brandy. I made due with a Hungarian Pear Brandy that my Hungarian buddy brought back from a trip over there. Probably not as sweet as the peach, but very tasty and S&C dominated in a good way.
grawk Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 In honor of all the rye drinking that is going on, I figured i'd break into my bottle of handy and it certainly needed a new glass for the occassion Cheers!
mikeymad Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 I like the 'new' glass - looks like it could hold lots...
naamanf Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Congrats then. Well except for the other shit that goes with it. And the ensuing misery Against my better judgement
naamanf Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 that looks like a tasty drink. wish i could have been on that group buy. you were.
naamanf Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 I just don't want to hear any complaints about the rusty fondue fork your getting as a wedding gift.
shellylh Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 That is too bad, guess I'll have to send back that bottle of 1964 Gold Bowmore.
mikeymad Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 That is too bad, guess I'll have to send back that bottle of 1964 Gold Bowmore. Please fax this way....
Fitz Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 In honor of all the rye drinking that is going on, I figured i'd break into my bottle of handy In honor of all the rye drinking that is going on, I figured I'd break into my, uh, nearly empty bottle of Wild Turkey rye. :/
shellylh Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Nothing wrong with Wild Turkey Rye (except if it is empty ).
Fitz Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Not at all, but it feels a bit inadequate in this situation.
morphsci Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Posted August 24, 2011 A Gumballhead (training wheels size), with a healthy dash of orange bitters.
Voltron Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Farewell lunch to my law student mentee: Negro Modelo with a chicken & chorizo burrito, and a Rodebach Grand Cru at Rosamunde's along with half of a boar sausage. First time to the mother ship rather than the outpost next door to Toronado. One stop shopping for sausage and beer!
raffy Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Farewell lunch to my law student mentee: Negro Modelo with a chicken & chorizo burrito, and a Rodebach Grand Cru at Rosamunde's along with half of a boar sausage. First time to the mother ship rather than the outpost next door to Toronado. One stop shopping for sausage and beer! Damn Al, that food sounds damn good! Just curious how was the Rodenbach? I see it all the time at my local but I've never picked one up.
Voltron Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 It was great on draft. Nice and tart and pretty light. Good stuff.
raffy Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Sounds good....the name kinda threw me off to thinking it was heavy and too filling. I looked it up and apparently it's a light and mildly sour ale. Will try it out next time. Thanks!
