Throw in some purple-top turnip, too.

Start off with Dogfish Head Brewery. I have no idea what their food is like, but their brews are up there. Dogfish Head

Yes.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Great reporting. Thanks, vengroff.

Good luck, Brian.

Ahhhhh..... vichyssoise.

I have never met Martin, but I have drank his coffee and smoked his (not his anymore) cigars. Good stuff.

Years ago, we had one of these "helpful" guys at work. When a bunch of us went out to lunch together, he would divide the tab and tip by one less than the number in the party, giving himself a free ride. Then he'd pocket the cash and put it on his credit card. Come tax time, he would deduct it as a business expense. I don't remember how we found out, but we did. He didn't get a beating, but he was very lonely after that.

Flour... frying pan... ham and manchego... makes a good start.

Is $10.28 a good price for a 750ml bottle? Click here Some of the other prices seem reasonable also.

I was in the Indianapolis store (East 86th Street) last week and the wine Ironstone Obsession 2001 was going for $5.99. Pretty good when served cold.

They serve Maker's Mark manhattans.

When travelling, there is something to be said for knowing what to expect. I think Outback is one of the better chains.

I am nuts.

Being inexpensive, doesn't necessarily make something bad. That said..... I like Freixenet. I'm thinking about changing my handle to "cheapbear."

I myself have spent time sailing with drinkers.

Thank you for your kind offer, but I was just trying to be funny. Besides, who knows how many interstate laws would be broken when shipping the stuff cross-country?

Dark chocolate covered orange peel.

They look just about perfect from where I crawl.

Manchego and sherry?

Welcome. Mount Gay claims that it is. Their site has a history page.

When you're comfortable enough to use them blindfolded.

I love the little, Braun, whirly ex-coffee-grinder-thing for making bread crumbs.

Maker's Mark? Maybe Old Forester? I... ah... know this guy.... ah... who would be willing... ah... free of charge to you, mind you... to... ah... take some of this stuff... ah... off your hands... ah... as it were.
