What a night. A great dinner. Great wife. Great whiskey and a dash of 1911's to finish it off.

I offer you the main course of grilled ribeye and onion, roasted asparagus with onion and garlic clove, tomato slices with balsamic reduction and fresh merlot parmesan. Dessert is a taste session of two rye whiskeys with a side of stainless 1911's.

So did you have to shoot the steer to get the steak?

Too many Americans never develop an appreciation for tequila, because all they've ever had is Cuervo Gold. I favor Don Julio Blanco myself...

Hornitos my man, Hornitos is where it is at. If you want a quality product that is.

Unfortunately due to the banking crisis and the tech bubble bursting I'm going to have to scale back my dinner plans tonight. Hopefully there's something good on TV.

Dang dsk as an administrator of the forum. I figured that you had to be getting fees in the high six figure range at least. What is up with that?

I just got a delivery from Kansas city Steaks today. Must be something in the air.

Steaks on the grill are great. But I can do a pretty good job on them with a black iron skillet on the stove when the weather is bad.

I don't care how rich I was, I'd avoid at all costs wasting food. Hopefully the restaurant staff got a good meal after the millionaires left.

I've got to also say that full body rhino mounts might be a bit over the top. If I was rich, I'm sure I could have some excesses, but I hope I'd try to stay grounded.

Yep keep it tasteful at least like maybe a full body mount of a Democrat or a politician or something.

To inject a little 1911 back into the conversation, I snagged a couple pistols today.

A new Colt Competition and a used Kimber TLE II with a bunch of internal upgrades.

Plus a bunch of parts arriving next week to continue the project.

Pistols are a good thing!

You guys are killing me. I had to stop by my meat guy today and pick up some tenderloins and ribeyes. Then it was on to my favorite liquor retailer (package stores on base don't always have what I need) for some Buffalo Trace. Then I noticed the Elijah Craig Small Batch was on sale. Then stopped by the LGS and almost bought a new 1911, they had a Garrison on the shelf for a decent price, and since I haven't bought a 1911 in a few weeks...Alas, when I got home, I found I was low on propane and didn't have any potatoes.

And now I realize I have no decent single malt in my liquor cabinet. Bad night.

It looks like you about shot yourself in the foot there Old Dog, figuratively speaking of course.

That Talisker Storm stuff says it has a 'profoundly maritime character'. How does a single malt achieve said 'profoundly maritime character', I wonder? Do the barrels sail on a cutter 'round the cape before landing on the shelf, or do they just blend the whiskey with seaweed at the distillery? So many questions, so few answers!!!!

'Single Sargasso Storm'... now there's a cool name!

I had a bunch of Limey sailors working for me in the North sea for a while many years ago. They had some kind of bogus story about how a certain Whiskey had to sail around the horn before it was ready. Something about the rocking motion or such. Uh yea!
