Think of it this way: the British don't have anything near our obesity problems, and they've been living off of deep-fried sausages and other sundry crap, fries (with or without curry powder), overcooked red meat, cornish pasties (organ meat and potatoes in a lard pastry - very, very tasty actually), vegetables boiled to gray mush, alcohol and Cadburys chocolate for decades. "Salad" there is a piece of sickly lettuce on your sandwich, but they aren't the fat-asses we are. BR(admittedly, it is an area of Scotland, home of the deep fried mars bar, that also has the shortest life expectancy in Europe)C |

Freedom for Montecore!! (sort of)
Quote:
"The act was one of the most successful and lucrative in Las Vegas, attracting about 400,000 a people a year and earning the casino about $44 million in annual revenue." I'm no chump. I've seen Ocean's 11 (softball, anyone?) and I know that Our friends in Vegas won't take a $44 MM hit without some sort of retaliation. Montecore needs to be placed in some sort of witness protection program - pronto. New identity, new job, a little plastic surgery, and maybe a little dye of the tiger. And no more contact with his inbred tiger family. I've seen what the desert can do to a tiger wearing cement galoshes. Not pretty. Free Montecore! |

Jane you ignorant slut. Ollie, you're so right about the salmon. But remember, when it's not straight out of the ocean, it tastes gummy when it's cooked medium, and is very easily overcooked. Be grateful that you live close to the habitat. Salmon and pinot are awesome. But we've been having a hell of a time finding a decent pinot recently. Have tried a lot of the Willamette valley stuff, but can't find anything reasonably priced that we like. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. We had the Argyle last night and it was meh. Had the Kings Estate couple of times - hit or miss. Our favorite is the Drouhin, but that's a little pricey for everyday. |

There might be an opportunity for Montecore as well, as the Fat Twins' cardio training would undoubtedly be more effective with Monty chasing them... |

I generally like Tori Morr, Panther Creek, Willakinzie, and Patricia Green Cellars among stuff that is relatively easy to find. Not cheap, though. And Sebby, dude, for an otherwise hedonistic sort of cat, you are missing out on one of life's great pleasures by not drinking more wine, red and white. |

The new "hot" grape, however, is zinfindel. It doesn't taste like wet mop anymore. Still, needs a very spicy or gamey meal to go with it - or pizza. Ollie's right Sebbie, don't be a red wine snob. No matter what you do, you just can't drink Cab or Merlot with everything. There are some excellent chardonnays available and makes for excellent everyday drinkable stuff. Remember, the surgeon general says at least a glass a day for you heart - just keep it under a bottle a day. |

Figure with the ice factor (meltage) and the fruit factor, I calculate that you're looking at a 1 to 2 wine to sangria conversion table. Of course for the exact figure, I'd call on Baltassoc. |

I have not had a New Zealand wine that I've really liked. Same for Chilean. Admittedly, I haven't experimented much in those countries, so any recommendation I'll certainly drink. |

Try Cantemerle, Talbot, or Larose Trintadon for relatively inexpensive Bordeaux. Go for Cos d'Estornal if you have more of a budget. Frankly, there's a lot less quality variation among vintages than there used to be, and I'm drinking a variety of years from the mid 90s these days, but you can even drink something as recent as a 2000 in Bordeaux. And, for NCS' benefit, I don't see why one can't exceed one bottle at least once a week and ease up a bit on other days. |

I need to drink more dry rieslings. Alsace, baby. |
