Anyone for a nightcap?

I thought I would try and and improve my pretentiousness quotient by drinking an ice cold Fat Tire amber ale.

It has a marvelous sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness.

OK, that's from their own marketing. But it does taste good. Especially on a 102 degree day.

Caffeine-free Diet Coke. Not an ounce of redeeming social value. :D

It is good behavior, though.

I'm about to have really incredible BBQ from a great take-out place. Then, I'm going to finish off the Mirassou Chard I opened yesterday. Then, no more drinking for a week. Alcohol, that is.

I'm beginning to wonder if my early training as a Clean Plate Ranger isn't somewhat deleterious to my well-being when applied to a wine bottle opened solo.
 
Miner Viognier - I found it in the store yay.

And a Bonsai with dinner.

This is the singularly fuck you uppable halving of saki with plum wine and a pickled plum sunk to the bottom, ice cold.

Buzzed is the only way I can stand slinging internet pr0n. Jewelry's down, affiliate links are up this month.

The smell of $ is a good one.

Damn!

We have got to find a way to do a drink together sometime.

Sure. You know I think that would be insane fun.

Is it the saki/plum wine cold thing or you're all excited about staring at the raw clickthroughs on Bondageslutmuffins? This isn't that exciting. I'm just in the ponzi scheme, not "talent."

Colbert. Cover Esquire. Boxers.
On phone and shot with arrows in a St. Sebastian/Ali parody also, but for me a plus.

Neither. It's that you enjoy your drink so fully, so completely and with verve. Even if it's just one or two of an evening, I sense that you take in every sip as if it were the true evidence of the meaning of life.

Of course, if you could get me a meeting with a bondage slut muffin....
 
Chateau St Jean Chard has been poured.
A household member made hummus yesterday so appetizers are in the works.
In a freak moment of Martha Stewartness, I made homemade naan today, to go with the hummus. Just waiting for the grill to heat up so I can grill the dough and then happy-mouth time. :D

I love Fridays.
It could only be better if I could have a cigarette - just one, that's all. grrr....

Ah, that's one of the nicest assertions anyone's made about me.

I do drive M crazy with my reactions to the goodness of good food and drink. I can see why, but, after a year of tuna and frozen peas, you do approach anything exciting with more enthusiasm.

That said, I'm tuna and pea-ing it more often lately. The scale is dampening my joie de vivre.
 
Diet coke, made somewhat more palatable by mixing in about 20% of real coke.

The freshly made naan with homemade hummus sounds terrific. Tuna and peas I think would go nicely with a sharp sauvignon blanc. The scale has been whispering lately and I think it sounds a lot like, "Gerrofffme lardass" but I could be mistaken.

Tuna and peas are almost always delish. Although I appreciate that even caviar gets boring after a certain number of repeats (not that I live on caviar...I'm more of a mac 'n cheese/fried bologna kind of girl.)

But I really want to know more about the Bonsai-pickled-plum drink. This, I've never had. Please tell more....

It's at Sushi Tango in minneapolis - it's basically 1/2 cheap ass sake, mixed with 1/2 I think fuki plum wine. Chilled ice cold. The garnish for this is a pickled green plum, but that doesn't seem mandatory.

I don't know about you, but sake messes me up immediately. One drink max with this one.

MW - I've gone from diet to crystal lite ice tea lately. I know the better option is REAL unsweetened tea, but sometimes crap in powder form is better.

Tuna and peas:

on a non lazy night.

Add ex vigin olive oil to taste. juice of 1/2 lemon. Black pepper. 1/4 cup of slivered pitted black olives, small bit of asiago cheese.

Tonight it was actually ground buffalo and peas. Asiago garnish. A few graham crackers. Shitload of water.

Now I think I need to finish off some of the Miner Viognier. My assfat won't really expand from a light as a feather white, will it?
