So *that's* what accounts for your poor temper, SLL. Really you gotta lay off that stuff; you may as well wear a hairshirt.

Kudos on your mug choice, however.

Oh, and I am currently addicted to this:

I dunno how they get such great coconut taste in there with zero fat. Sweet, but hey, it's got protein, too.

Arcadia India Pale Ale (draft)

tasty, grapefruit, floral hoppy as all hell, but not bitterly so

That sounds delish, exactly up my beery alley. Do you have a tap in your house or something? Or do you bring your computer to the bar? Both hold a certain appeal but sound dangerous...

Or are you the barman?

I'd like to know how they get 16 oz. of fruit into 15.2 oz. of juice. Still, sounds good.

Everybody knows you weigh less naked.

Back to water. One half gallon to go...

For you gin fans....

3 parts gin
1 part triple sec
4 drops bitters

Serve in chilled martini glass with a lemon peel garnish.

Mmmmmm.......

In about 10 minutes I'll be drinking a nice glass of Sancerre.

It's 10.40pm on a Friday night and I am drinking a nice hot mug of tea.

Mechanical Grace · Post by **Mechanical Grace** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 7:08 pm

Very civilized indeed!

I just had a hand-pulled pint of this-- probably my favorite beer-- at local watering hole Doyle's, where my son and I get burgers every Friday night. Savored it deeply, cause I'm not drinking that much these days.

Gotta love the label. Sooooooo Maine-slash-coastal New Hampshire.

"Finestkind."
"Ayuh."

Nice wine!! Spooky and I are big fans of dry white wines.

Yep. Good stuff. My neighbor has a wine wholesaling business and sells to a lot of the nicer restaurants in Manhattan. He brings so much stuff home that he and his wife can't keep up, so every so often he leaves a few bottles on the porch for us. This was one such bottle.

Nice neighbor, WSS! Need me one of them.

Having a cold beer in a frosty mug right now.

having your teeth extracted would seem to be the sensible way forward. if you want to take the cheap option just let me know.

My wife, just now, gave me crap for not putting my tooth in. I think it makes me a rugged hockey player from the 70's - kind of like Stan Jonathan - You can see him doing some dental work in this 36 second clip -

Otherwise - drinking Dunkin' Donuts coffee on a very rainy morning. Hoping for bad weather all day, 'cause I'm staying in.

Awesome clip.
Everything was better in the 70's.
It seems a little unfair that Stan still has a helmet on and the other chappy doesnt tho.

They have DD in the UK? I hope you don't still have to ask for 'The Big One'. Or did you buy beans when you were last Bay-State side?

My own private stash. I'm down to one pound left in the freezer.

I'm not vaguely a fan of their coffee, but they sure do have their loyalists. My sister used to say the thing about DD was that everything--soup, bagels, coffee-- tasted like a donut. Not true anymore but I think it applies to the coffee.

Otis Westinghouse · Post by **Otis Westinghouse** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 11:30 am

What a ghastly thought! We do have their shops here I think. And there's a Krispy Kreme one, if that's what their name is, at Stansted, which is outrageous, but which tempts you, as we did, to fly to your destination with a vast box of admittedly enjoyable sugar-junk, keep your kids quiet on the plane, ands still have enough left to offer as a gift on arrival to your friends/family/hosts.

Boy With A Problem · Post by **Boy With A Problem** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 12:55 pm

I'm not a huge fan on the DD donuts - just the coffee. I haven't had a Krispy Kreme - though I see them all over the place; even at Craven Cottage. I did see a Dunkin Donuts last year in Beirut!

The internet really is magic - found a DD European locator -

3 in the UK - 2 in London (Regents Park and Brixton) and one in Belfast.

Loads in Berlin!

Ever seen Slim Gaillard sing 'Dunkin' Donuts'? I wonder is it on You Tube. Should be on a niche alternative called Zoot Tube.

Dunkin' Donuts

In the coffee

Pure genius.
