What are you drinking tonight?

[wezul]

Tonight is Tuesday night.
How's that for the ridiculously obvious?
Had a real nice supper at Cab's, my regular haunt.
Chef and friend Luis came up with what he calls "Venison Sliders", a small piece of hammered venison loin on grilled bread with shaved endive and arugula with a cranberry/jalapeno mayo.
Had that and some nibbles before and split a nice bottle of Paulliac with my good friend and BMW mentor Lee.
Now it's on to coffee (wings of the morning, 100% Kona) with Grandma (Grand Marnier).
Screw the market. Life is good!

Finally got the TKC80's on my GSPD, now I'm ready for Color in the Catskills. :clap

AFTER my test ride I came home and had two beers:

- New Holland Brewing "Mad Hatter IPA"
- Sam Adams "Irish Red"

That's enough for me - I'm tired and heading to bed, soon!

[wezul]

Wild thing.

I went with the Coors N/A and some hot wings with blue cheese from Dining Facility #2. The Ugandan guards almost did not let me in. I have not picked up my M-4 yet from our supply SGT. You must be armed when you go into the DFAC. Iraq is a very odd place. I would kill for a nice glass of wine, no I am not kidding! haha

[jdmetzger]

"Yogi" brand chai tea. very hot, in a big ceramic mug, no sweet crap, no milk, just the tea. two bags.

Pepper spices coming through fragrance rushes my face in a wave of steam, setting on the front porch typing on the for ever more novel of life.....

You post on tea suddenly makes me want a nice mug of tea - though this time of year (cool nights and mornings) is perfect for some lapsang souchong. I need a campfire about now...

[ASPHALT]

Bonny Doon Cigare Volant, paired with a double cut pork chop coated in fresh Rosemary Sea Salt and cracked Pepper rub, seared on the grill then slow cooked on medium heat for half an hour. Wifey is pregnant so not drinking. Good thing about Bonny is, if, and that's a BIG if, I don't finsih the bottle I can screw the cap back on.
Life truly IS good.

[john1691]

Went out with the wife (kids had sports activities) to a local hole in the wall, the "Tilted Kilt". I had the Chesapeake burger, 1/2 lb. of fresh ground angus, topped with baby portobella, lump crab meat and cheddar. Washed it down with a local microbrew, Stoudt's Octoberfest. Her burger looked equally as good, and she enjoyed a German wheat beer, can't spell or pronounce the name..........

It was a windy ride this afternoon, with a combo of strong horizontal sun, knock em sock em gusts of wind...

I came back to a hot cup of Chai Tea no sugar no cream crap, just the little bag, big mug, and me!

[jdmetzger]

As I'm still in "recovery mode" for the next week (and still have medical equipment installed), I'll have to stick with a healthier choice:

It seems OcenSpray has avoided the corn lobby and uses grape juice as the sweetener. No added sugar or HFCS. Until my stent is removed, alcohol is not suggested. :doh

In the meantime, I have a multitude of healthy food in the house. Fast food has lost it's luster for me after the hospital stay. for some reason. Not a bad thing.

Unthaw three big packs of Onterio Walleye, get the oil hot and the batter ready
slurp a little tea
cut up those Lemons....

[wezul]

Unthaw three big packs of Onterio Walleye, get the oil hot and the batter ready


Unthaw? OK, doesn't matter. Beer batter, perhaps? The first time I liked fish was when I visited my Mom's aunt's place up in Kenora back before electric light. The walleye was fresh caught and her aunt made the beer batter.
Mmmmmmm, that was good!

[SCQTT]

Took this a while back when the same question was posed on ADVrider.

The tray is a 1950's formed plywood Haskelite made in Chicago.

The glass is a Yamaha cotporate dealer gift, nice and heavy with a 1976 TT50o etched into it. (amazing detail)

The drink? Well, I just pulled it out of the freezer. It's icy and warm at the same time. Guess.

I think I like what is in the Ball jar best, although I can only guess as to what it is.

Yes the beer batter is here, and the Walleye was caught personally by a hand

and a jig.

Now we deep fry it cajun style a month later for friends and family...

You come to my house sometime, you like fish again fur sure!

Cooks on Duty now, later! Have another one for me!

[Raevyn]

SCQTT: A frozen flavored stoli? Or some home brew from the hills of someplace?

Red: Nothing like a fresh caught rainbow trout out of the cool waters of Idaho, pan fried on an open fire...for breakfast!
You'd drool over the venison roast slowly cooked all day in beer on an open fire with freshly picked morels tossed in at the last minute.....god, that was good!

She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin' out along her head,
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red

She ruled the Toads
of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo

She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know

She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(I couldn't come in right then...)

And so she wandered
Trough the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An' I'd just love it in her room

Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets

She stripped away
Her ranchid poncho
An' laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An' it was useless any more

She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf

Lowell George - Little Feat

I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty don't ya know, and I'm still, willin'
Out on the road late at night, Seen my pretty Alice in every head light
Alice, Dallas Alice

I've been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin'

I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet
Had my head stoved in, but I'm still on my feet and I'm still... willin'
Now I smuggled some smokes and folks from Mexico
baked by the sun, every time I go to Mexico, and I'm still

And I been from Tuscon to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed
And if you give me: weed, whites, and wine
and you show me a sign
I'll be willin', to be movin...

Oh, I get it... :buds

Walleye and trout are the same in the way in quality unless you or a good friend hooked em, you’ve cleaned em and you’ve cooked em, I wouldn’t trust em. Eating restaurant Trout and Walleye is usually not a good idea.

Chances are you eat stockers. And worse, several days laying around stockers. yuuch!

Went to the bar around noon to watch one of the only sporting events I watch straight through, regularly. I had some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and then switched to Sam Adams. It's more of a neighborhood bar so I'm mostly stuck with the more "normal" beers.

It's 9:30 am and I'm getting ready to whip up a batch of Sangria.

We have our annual Profit Plan party today. No one likes having to sit down and do it so a few years ago, we began making a party out of it. Each of us calls our favorite food brokers for a sample of something good to donate towards a pot luck lunch and it makes the chore much more bearable.

BYOC - Bring your own calculator.

[rinty]

What's a Profit Plan party?

You should be celebrating the spring roll out of the Norge. :)

[Newstar]

Profit Plan is the annual guessing game where we take a SWAG guess at what each of our customers will contribute to our overall sales for the next fiscal year. It's number crunching paperwork that is best done with a beverage in the company of friends.

As for the Norge, he's been out a few times. Unfortunately, we are expecting heavy rain this afternoon and through the weekend.

Not in your class at all. It is all home made here tonight.

Home made pizza with home made sausage peppers and onions and a bbq sauce instead of the normal pizza sauce. Home brewed beer and some very powerful stuff from a mason jar. Not elegant in any way but some how tonight, it all works.

I am lucky to have a beer store 5 minutes from me with over 2000 brews in stock, and they rotate the stock. I rarely drink the same brew in the same month.

Pyrat Rum and coke - and the occasional cigar. :evil

Now is that the same as "Pirate Rum", just was exposed to that last weekend.
Still waiting for the lab results.

Wow, somebody really likes old school ales, unfiltered and all that.

I really dig the photos, thank you all if you have posted photos or labels.

Back to the Sprecher Mai Bock after running around with OU812 up near where were we?
Yeah, Lake Zurich, Barrington. Nice little roads up over by 'dere. We had 2 and a half hours so just a quick hop but I have to tell you I cannot remember a more pleasant biking experience.
Ran the slab up to Steve's around 10:30ish, not that I like the slab but it's good to get slab exposure so God forbid you have to ride it you're not all freaked out. Really is no problem for me, sometimes it's about saving time.
So I get up there and we mosey over to Cyclewerks, I want to set up some new tires and now I am learning . . . . and this might interest you if you are considering tires, that Metz 880's are not produced for my year RT ('07). I was trying to make up my mind, this will be my first new set of tires after the OEM's (Bridgestone Battleax 020). So cool, now it's down to Z6's (original, not Interacts) or Pilot Road 2's. The only bark I've heard is watch the Z6's for tread wear or be sure you can replace them at X interval. I'be also heard they are wicked good in the twisties.
Anyway, Guy's off Saturday but Steve gets a tank vent hose reconnected that they missed last time. Right now, took a half hour. OK so they missed it first time but made it right and right now. I like Cyclewerks.
OK, run some two laners through the aforementioned area. Stopped twice, once for a Fat Tire, then down the road a while for a Guinness. Little roadhouses. Nize.

Weather was about as nice as you could request; 75, no wind, partly cloudy to overcast. After a while I was in the zone, ya know? Just the road and the wind and I. Doesn't get any better for me.

So yeah uh . . . . Don Julio.
Right!

[Rapid_Roy]

Yeah?
Love the Don.

I like the Z6's and plan on a set of the Interacts on the K12RS before the haul to Tennessee. How come you're not looking at them? If you watch the center wear bars on the rear Z6 and change it by the time the tire is close to it, you'll be fine. But, don't try to wear past it!!

Tonight was quite pleasant.
I went down to my local haunt Cab's (http://cabsbistro.com/index.html) in Glen Ellyn. Had the bouillabaisse which is just freakin' ridiculous. A few Grand Marniers before and then a good Pinot Noir with the bouillabaisse and then upstairs to listen briefly to an Austrian girl who strangely enough played some really good blues, just her accompanying herself with a semi-hollow electric, really really good.

Now back home after stopping to get a bottle of DUH Grand Marnier and home again to brew some coffee to enjoy alongside.

I don't know how life has been for you, lately I've had to make a few changes, realign my finances and yes, took a payroll nick as I'm sure many of you may have as well. I'm far from retirement yet.

But I enjoyed and am enjoying this evening and I hope you are as well. Hang in there. :thumb

Life is good. :dance The alternative really sucks.

I'm still suckin' air and as long as there is life in these bones I'll be dancin' on two wheels.

So I have taken to sipping Asbach Uralt.

I would really like to find some Hungarian Palinka , but alas, Northern Nevada stores seem too barbaric to stock such pleasures.

OK, you know me by now.
Grand Marnier to start.
Then Chef Luis' Paella with a Sonoma Valley Red.
The Paella was ridiculous. This midwestern boy may be getting on the seafood trail. I really didn't think we could get decent seafood here but the clams, the mussels, the calamari, talapia, shrimp, andouille sausage, chicken breast on a bed of rice soaked in the broth. . . . . whoa.

Seriously, if you are ever in the western suburbs of Chicago, come to Glen Ellyn and try Cab's Bistro (http://cabsbistro.com/), you will not be disappointed.

So now on with the Grand Marnier!

Czech Mate pilsner from Paddock Wood Brewing in Saskatoon. Not as "dry, dusty" as the PU but dry, very creamy texture, beautiful dry hoppy finish.

For those who can get it and enjoy the pilsner style, an excellent example.

Spaten Optimator. Why? Because it is good for you! See all of the scientific proof below. (got this from the Spaten site)

Rich in Vitamins and Good for the Nerves
Beer is rich in important vitamins - most are delivered to you by the beer's yeast. Vitamins B1, B2, and B6 and H contained in beer are food for the nerves: They improve your ability to concentrate, support the production of red blood cells, have a positive effect on your blood circulation and stimulate your metabolism.

Minerals for the Metabolism
A scientific study undertaken at the Technical University of Munich concluded that the collection of minerals and trace elements in beer have a favorable effect on nerves and muscle strength, electrolyte usage, enzyme activation and hormone levels. In addition, iron and copper help blood production, phosphorus supports metabolism and magnesium strengthens the heart muscle. Zinc is necessary for your pancreas' production of insulin and fluoride protects your teeth from cavities. Finally, Maganese also helps in the production of beer's Vitamin B, which is very valuable to the human body.

Beer helps you relax
A hectic lifestyle, stress or problems with your job or family often lead to nervousness and sleeping problems-your blood pressure rises. A glass of beer before going to bed is the "best medicine" against all of that: The hops in beer (with all four important B vitamins) have a calming effect on exhausted nerves and relax your muscles. The small amount of alcohol (4.5 to 5.5%) and the carbonation relax your body. The commentary of the Munich study concludes: "The life expectancy of people who drink beer in moderation is longer than of people who abstain." Uhhh.. Optimator is almost 8% so I get extra credit.

The calorie count rises...
Beer is comparably a low-calorie drink. A twelve ounce glass of beer has about 160 calories; only mineral water, coffee and tea (without milk or sugar), skim and butter milk have fewer calories than beer. "Hard drinks", wine, champagne and liqueurs as well as fruit, lemonade and whole milk do not. Additionally, beer, because it has practically no sodium, promotes tissue drainage and sodium expulsion.

Beer gives you momentum
Beer is healthy-sport medicine specialists have also recognized that fact and have drawn uses from it. One example is the two Italian sport doctors Antonelli and Romano who came to the conclusion that a liter of beer a day increases performance, concentration and reaction and strengthens muscles. The American cardiologist Sheehan maintains that after long distance running, jogging, cross country skiing or marathons, beer ideally replaces bodily fluids and energy. The French doctor Gulpin discovered decades ago that beer increases lung capacity and speeds the lung's ability to process oxygen.

Beer in old Age
Doctors and geriatricians have recognized that beer - in addition to all of the previously mentioned health effects - works against the possible breakdown of the aging human body. Also noteworthy is beer's sociological aspects: Beer is cheerful, makes one sociable and makes it easier to make contact and win new friends. In an opinion poll of German general practitioners, 81% were convinced that one or two beers a day could "beautify" retirement.

Beer, misc. microbrews. Tasty and relaxing, especially after the day I had.

[flymymbz]

Took the baby GS's on a short, but fun, ride from Cashmere up to the Cottonwood campground at the end of the Entiat River Road.

Dinner beers are a Wild Blue blueberry lager from Blue Dawg Brewing in Baldwinsville, NY and a Jubelale winter ale from Deschutes Brewery, in my favorite Oregon town of Bend, OR.

The ale is a bit bitter but not too bad, and the blueberry.....well.....its quite interesting. I'm thinking it would be a nice addition to a batch of blueberry pancakes. Its a bit sweet and the blueberry smell is way overpowering when you take a drink from the bottle.

[pffog]

...............when you take a drink from the bottle.


Drink from a bottle??? All good beers need to be poured properly to release the true taste of the brew. A paper cup is better than a bottle, IMHO.

Well, the first taste was from the bottle. After dinner, I poured one into a 'jacuzzi approved' (plastic) cup and headed for the spa, but still, it was just too overpowering.


Beer in a glass depends on how lazy I'm feeling, and how much I've already had to drink.

Heard about this Guinness 250. A celebratory beer commemorating the brewery's 250th anniversary. I have not formulated an opinion yet. Whaty'all thank?

OK!
I have sampled the product. Repeatedly.
Here's the skinny:
More malt. More alcohol. Less bubbles (no floor show, pour it down side of your glass).
Easier to drink than standard Guinness Stout.
Did I mention more alcohol? :bottle

I've had the procedure. It's nothing.
You'll be fine.

Just make sure you have someone to drive you home.

A nice Macanudo Ascot (no I am not drinking the Ascot) and a glass of Pauillac.

Enjoyed a nice Misterio Argentinian Malbec with dinner, and am now savouring a glass of Navan - Grand Marnier's vanilla offering. Very nice...

Whataya sayin?
If Sue and Rebecca can drink cold beer outside while watching motorcycle ice racing who's to tell you not to drink Miller?

I am out of the beer closet! The truth is, I prefer good ol' cheap American beer over the more expensive brews as a general rule. But, I do love the occasional Dos Equis with a twist of lime(when my gal friend's around she insists upon it)! But she never tells me not to drink Miller High Life, she will not drink it however; guess that leaves more for me!

HANSA Lager, supposedly made by Dortmunder.

$28 for a case of half liter bottles. Same price as Bitburger pound cans, but not as good, IMHO.

think Jeeves, with Wooster's drinking habits and a little House cynicism thrown in for good measure.:violin

I shall chime in with my own report later after supper.
Sidebar - Geez now not only are they not putting a real cork in Drambuie but they have totally redesigned the bottle. Bonnie Prince Charlie must be spinning like a top.
Near sacrilege.

My son graduated from Texas A&M last night. College, so far, has been the best seven years of his life. Today, I BBQ'd some fresh venison wrapped in bacon, with red/yellow peppers and onions sauteed with olive oil and fresh herbs (also on the Barby). I'm finishing the night with three fingers of Wild Turkey Rye Whiskey. (I still have two in College). Life is good right now.

Outstanding! I spent almost 7 years at MIT (The Malta Institute of Technology aka Kishwaukee College) trying to decide if I wanted to be a rock star, a despot or a productive citizen. After trying desperately to ruin myself I pick my head up out of the mud and have become what you see before you. Whatever that is.
Congrats to the newly graduated, may you find your dream.

Is it howling at your door tonight?

OK, Navan liquer.
Very alcohol forward nose. Very.
Less vanilla than I was expecting but quite palatable once you acclimate.
Still brings the load I expect from a good cognac and a nice change from original Grand Marnier.
Oooh . . . . the vanilla is very much on the backside.
So, pour in a snifter, walk away for 15 - 20 minutes and let it settle down.

I'm browsing the forum sipping on Pennsylvania Dutch egg nog. Made with real dairy cream,rum, brandy and blended whiskey. GOOD STUFF!

:thumb I hope I got enough to last till Christmas!

[wezul]

Oh that sounds good, PM me the recipe, won't you?
I was thinking about the nog for this Christmas.
As I will not be doing Glug.

[MartyW]

I just discovered Skyy Pineapple vodka tonight. It is delish, mixed it with cranberry juice for several great cocktails. It's dangerously delicious.

[kbasa]

Some decent, but cheap, Cabernet Sauvignon from up in Napa somewhere.

[MWIECK]

to wezul

I buy it already made at the liquor store. A friend gave me a bottle a couple years ago for Christmas and I have been hooked. I normally didn't like eggnog, but this stuff is good. It is made by Dairyland Distillers in Phila. PA and is called Pennsylvania Dutch egg nog.

I am sipping on some as I type( not too much, it is 29 proof)

A Merry CHRISTmas to all!

Couple of days ago, we picked up a couple of bottles of Black Butte XXI:

Wow. What a wonderful beer. Its just that at $10 a bottle, I wish I could afford it more often.
