If I could get some I would but unfortunately, it doesn't seem that they want Texans to drink Amaro Ciociaro.

Already finished the first bottle?

I've bought some XLR cables from heels-6 on ebay. He seems to make nice products and they are slightly cheaper than BJC. If you contact him, he will make them the length you want. Ebay link

In most recipes for the Liberal, it calls for either bourbon or rye. For the sake of science, I decided to make one of each. The Liberal 3/4 oz 101 proof Wild Turkey Rye or 94 proof 17yr Vintage Bourbon 3/4 oz Carpano Antica 3 dashes of Torani Amer 1 dash of Regan's Orange bitters The result: Tie. They are both super excellent drinks and I love them both. If I had to choose one, I would go with the smoother and slightly sweeter 17yr Vintage Bourbon but if you asked me tomorrow or 20 minutes from now, I could easily change my mind. Better finish this post before I do change my mind again.

Jim: "Cook" the Metaxa and cheeries together or just soak in the fridge together? 3 days minimum?

Defnitely jealous Raffy! Want KBS!!!

Good stuff Marc! What kind of gin is that? Having a few sips of Metaxa Grande Fine before dinner. I was thinking of making some "brandied" cherries with Metaxa 7 star? What say you cocktail experts?

Awesome Brent!

A (small) Vieux Carre Can't decide which I like better the VC or Saratoga. Better just drink both.

But he doesn't like the D40x as much so I think I am safe. Seriously though, I assume that the D40x is a decent camera and should be much better/faster than LX5 even though it is a pretty old model.

2009 Chateau Ste Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon - like.

Refurbished Nikon D40x body from B&H I am thinking that this with the 35mm f/1.8 lens may be small/light enough to carry around everyday and should be much better than the LX5 (and the price seemed pretty good). If anyone thinks this is a ridiculous assumption, please let me know so I can cancel my order. Also, I don't know much about buying refurbished (from manufacturer) camera bodies but assume it should be fine. Edit: Just saw Al's post, very nice!

@Gene: Very nice! @Deepak: Very nice too!

The funny thing is that they don't even sell the product they sent me (according to their website).

Finally "got" my order from Adorama for the Mountainsmith Camera Kit Cube that I ordered a month ago to find out that they sent me the Mountainsmith Bike Cube! <sigh> Why is a camera store shipping out bike cubes???

According to amazon, they will be in stock on June 16th. They seem to be in stock at B&H but cost $259 instead of $199 though. You should.

See's Candy Bordeaux Bar

Glad to hear about the fabulous news Al!!! <smiles>

Thumbs up for the S&C Grog and Saratogas! Both great drinks. Having a (mini) Vesper myself 3/2 oz Plymouth gin 1/2 oz Russian Standard vodka 1/4+epsilon oz Cocci Americano lemon twist

2006 Rutherford Hill Cabernet Sauvignon

I feel your pain Jim - I haven't been able to find any Blackwood's around here.

Happy Birthday Scott!
