Dinner, whiskey, and 1911's

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.

After my divorce I learned to do them the same way...although it brutalized the 900sq ft apt I was living in LOL.

Set the smoke alarms off more than once!

The best steak I ever tasted was at a resturant in Jackson, Wyoming. It was also the most expensive. My wife and I sat near a table where 8 millionaires were having a dinner meeting. Eavesdropping, there was no doubt every man at that table was at least a millionaire. Besides talking about the previous years financial status, they would order extremely expensive dishes and desserts, take one bite, then decide whether to finish the dish or order another extremely expensive dish to try out.

I can't recall the resturants name, but it was on the same street as the taxidermy shop where I saw a full body rhino mount and full elephant head mount.

I wonder what it feels like to be rich....... 🙄

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.

The best I could do today would be an empty burger bag on top of my siren/light box, a drink cup next to it, some ketchup stains on my microphone, and a holstered DR920.

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!

Those who waste food have never been hungry. Having said that, I still can't eat liver!

I snagged a few bottles last night.

I eat both.

I am definitely a whiskey guy, Crown or Jack primarily. Rum and tequila are okay sometimes, but gin is nasty. If I order a Long Island, I tell them to keep the gin. It's like rubbing alcohol, bleh.

Ugh I can’t stand whiskey rum or anything like it I like a good cold brew like yuengling or coors but the Church I joined mandates teetotaly no alcohol so I had to give up my occasional brew but I don’t really mind. That being said I look forward to feasting in heaven and enjoying the wine we’ll be drinking and see my Church families faces when they are served wine! Now I’m working on eating less calories but fortunately a good steak is fairly low calorie and nutrient dense so I still enjoy a good T -bone preferably from steer on grassy pasture and fed sweet feed as well. Like one of the other posts said let the steak warm to room temp then grill it hot and fast like the Duke said sear one side then flip it over and repeat! Hot red center with plenty of blood running out yum yum! Got all three of my 1911’s cycling perfectly it just doesn’t get much better! Semper Fi and Can Do

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!
