My younger bro bought pre-orders for Battlefield 3 for himself and I.

2x 36"x30" cabinets + 1x 24" corner cabinet for the laundry room which have now been installed.

Miguel, thanks for the suggestion. I have some Cointreau but don't like it as much as Creole Shrubb or Grand Marnier (with Creole Shrubb my absolute favorite in margaritas).

Ok, enjoy your margaritas!

Doesn't "A rather expensive and spectacularly mediocre..." describe just about anything at an airport?

Not if you're in the duty free area by the watches-jewels shops.

Macbook Air 13" for the casa augsburg homework club, with Microsoft Office because our son's school forces us to remain tethered to the evil empire.

Oh, and a bunch of Macbook thises and Macbook thats..............

Bought a uni-meal amidst today's driving at the best Five Guys anywhere, in St. George, Utah. I've never seen another location that is so consistently excellent (or with red rock views, for that matter).

Vintage Silver Julep Cup from here, using "Ebay Bucks". Just one. But they look nice and seem like a reasonable deal.

Those look pretty nice. I bought two. I am guessing they are only silver plated (or "colored") though at that price.

a 240mm Kochi kurouchi gyuto

What? Where does this fit in in your collection?

"Ebay Bucks".

5% cash back on Bill Me Later. I have a bunch I need to spend too

Colds suck

^ concur

I've gone with alka seltzer night time, it works pretty well.

Colds suck

Agreed. I just got over my cold and I am quite happy to free of that nastiness. Get well Todd (and Grahame if you are still with nastiness).

Found the Stork Club reprint and Waldorf-Astoria bar books for a good price and bought them, both nice hardcover editions.

:thumbsup:

Do you have a cleaver to go with the deba and gyutos? I don't remember you ever mentioning one.

I probably should get one since I rarely use my cleaver. I am planning to try a tandori chicken receipe soon as an excuse for my bi-annual cleaver cooking show. One of the rare opportnities to swing that four pound cooking tool and impress the family. One, two or three of Al's manhattans prior to spliting the chickens would definitely amp up the event.

you really don't need a 4 lb cleaver to cut up some chickens

When does "need" ever matter here or at my place? spliting them with a cleaver is more fun than cutting them with a chef knife.

I split the whole chickens, the free range ones seem to be harder to split ergo the cleaver, rub them with salt and rosemary and lemon place them flat in a 12 inch iron skillet then place another skillet on top with a medium sized rock then put them in the grill for a couple of glasses of sauvignon blanc.
