We're hitting the "tax free' state next weekend, so it'll be Bruichladdich (as recommended by ramjet). If it's rotgut, you're on the waterballoon targeted list for DIMBY!!!

How'd ya like the seawater?

anytime you miss that kicker, come up and kick mine!!!

we practised yesterday. bike's cold blodded. windsor needs to kick it when it's cold, then shut it off, and I can get it going.

bike is mechanically sound, cosmetically ugly

hoping to rattle can it this spring, make it look retro (not stock).

I'll post pics when she's presentable.

Working on a glass of Bulleit, as we speak. I find I prefer to imbibe it with some room-temperature cheddar cheese and a rather robust cracker.

excellent!!!

we haven't talked about food + drinks!!

the right sharpness, pungent, creaminess, tart, sour, hot really changes the drink.

Anyone else find a good combination? assume we're drinking bourbon or bourbon & water.

Hm best combination I can think of after too many Bourbons is (2) 1/4 lb 7-11 big bites with chili, cheese, onions and extra jabalenos.....has pulled me outta the ringer more than once.

Its a cleansing experience!

lauramonster · February 14, 2009, 08:30:10 PM

no, no!! I was thinking next time I have the in-laws over, what we could serve. They like cocktails for an hour before dinner, and it would be nice to have something 'compliment' a bourbon on the rocks.

Finishing off a bottle of Schlafly's Imperial Stout. Its a robust stout aged in Bourbon barrels, Jim Beam says the box, does that count? The 2008 is particularly nice, on par with the '06, the '07 is not bad...

Schlafly Beer ( aka the Saint Louis Brewery) is the largest LOCALLY owned brewery in St. Louis, MO (beer capitol of the U.S.). Take that InBev/A-B!!

I'd probably do some sort of cheese tray, with an assortment of crackers.

Actually I went to a bourbon and cigar tasting and they had an assortment of dark chocolates. It paired really well with the bourbon

How bout a dozen of those blue point oysters doused in a fine coctail sauce. Some bourbons just yell seafood!
