    Husband Down
    A silent reminder of the dangers of shopping together.................
    Husband Down
    A husband and wife are shopping in their local supermarket.
    The husband picks up a case of beer and puts it in their cart.
    "What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife.
    "They're on sale, only $20 for 24 cans" he replies.
    "Put them back, we can't afford them" demands the wife.
    They carry on shopping.
    A few aisles farther on, the woman picks up a $40 jar of face cream and puts
    it in the basket.
    "What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband.
    "It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife.
    Her husband retorts: "So does 24 cans of beer and it's half the price."
    That's him, there in Aisle 5.

     

    It does the same trick, costs half the price and at least one of us will be happy with the results.

    That´s how it is told around here.

  2. Coulda woulda.

    Lots os questions to be answered. Who will be the drivers for Toro Rosso? What´s the future of William without Stroll money? Ocon - a very good driver IMHO - future? Leclerc/Raikkonen (should I stay or should I go?)/Ferrari novel.

    I honestly like having a date window.  I did try it on, and it wore about like this GMT Master, to be honest.  It wasn't too big.  I feel like the medium also wasn't too small.  It was a hard choice.

    Reminded of a comment in YoutubeAwesome piece but the thing we need is the DAY. Unlike peasants who have to go to work, we gentlemen of leisure forget which day of the week it is. Rolex knows this, and Moser too should as its not a peasant brand.

    And most certainly Cartier.

  4. Thanks. Didn´t know this and it really makes a lot of sense, especially in price regulation (and appreciation) of used watches.

    Anywho, the channel did a lot of videos praising Rolex and Tudor, and AFAIK they are not part of the Richemont conglomerate. Seems like it is going to get scarce soon.

  5. Once again a simple but effective dish here, mignon and pappardelle with mushrooms and Dijon sauce.  It is, still, a work in progress.

    My 13 old is making his way into the kitchen, and love to slice Paris mushrooms, he says it is the most satisfying cutting experience.

    This time I used a ton of clarified butter to have a perfect Maillard reaction to the reversed seared medallions.

  6. Well, it was Tuesday, and the menu is in Portuguese, but what the hell. There is a wine store here, and they invite some winemakers to demonstrate their wines in a harmonized dinner, and it was Super! Too drunk at the end to take pictures of the grapa´s, very beautiful bottles.

    Wife got mad at me ´cause I first tried the food and only after took the picture. Dessert almost did not survived until then.

  7. That´s the plain reality for a lot of footballers, the game as a means to let poverty behind. And for each million dollar baby with happy faces, there is a platitude of struggling young guys being ripped off, with hunger, being foul played, with racism, no means no hopes and no dreams. Sorry, one dream, to succeed, to take care of mom and dad, but most of the time no dad.

    I guess basketballers and american footballers have the same agenda. Here, the game is futebol.

    That´s the reason I hate some players that act with disdain for the money, the expenses they made, the in your face atitude, being totally disrespectful with the fellow professional inside the four lines. And have all the respect for the ones that have institutes helping their native communities.

    If they had succeeded, for each one of them, there are thousands struggling to get their very much deserved check at the end of the month. And, most of the time, they don´t, ´cause there are vultures and scammers all around.

    Now, back to the normal program.
