And what do we do with bad muffins?

These young ones might not be going in for hip replacements, but even 20-somethings go to the doctor and dentist. But yeah, whatever, who gives a shit anyway if SB is a leader in paying benefits to part time employees, yeah, they suck for that. Do you shop exclusively at REI too? Oh, you'd be my corporate benefits hero if you did !!!! Starbucks obviously doesn't need my business. However I can think of more than a few coffee shops that have better atmospheres, better service, better coffee, and where my business can actually make an impact. Starbucks is reserved exclusively for when I need an immediate fix and nothing more respectable/desirable is open/close. Lately I'm a big fan of "All City Coffee" down in Georgetown Good coffee, need shop, cute barista's, how can I complain! Especially when it's faster, cheaper, closer to work, more interesting, and serves better coffee to boot

Somehow I've lost two in the recent past?? Not sure how the hell that happened after last weekend

mmmmmm, I stuck to microwave burrito's, ice cream, and scotch myself Gawd i'm pathetic when left to my own devices

So do you like the Laphroaig? Some reviews I've read call it "mediciny" with an "iodine" taste. Bunch of pussies. :-) Very tasty. I would call it mediciny, but it is a little thick/syrupy straight. I usually throw in a couple of ice cubes though which thinned it a bit and it was fantastic. Not quite sure I'm up to drinking it neat yet, can't quite get past the initial shock and down to the flavors

So as I ran out of whisky 2 months ago I picked up a bottle of Laphroaig 10 and a small bottle of Pendleton on the way home, as well as restocked the Gin supply :) Oh, and it's no the Cascade Distillery, it's the Bend Distillery and Cascade Mountain Gin, made with wild juniper berrys! Talk about tasty stuff! Enjoying the Laphroaig at the moment though

No, not really. Your just going to have to try harder! I had at least 24oz of shepherds pie for lunch :) It makes my tummy happy!

I wonder how soaking raspberries in Vodka or gin would go? Made some hot pepper vodka once for bloody mary's :) Quite Tasty!

Anyone who's seen the picture of you in the red dress is very aware of that

It is Sad!! But theres too damn many of them! We tried to get friends to pick them, but they either don't believe us that they can have as many as they can pick or they're just lazy

Are you makin fun of me

Vodka shall not touch my martini. It is a sin. A proper martini must be gin, vermouth is optional, as is being dirty. Has anyone else tried the Cascade Distillery Gin? Pretty damn good. Very nice flavor, and a little more pungent than Sapphire. Though I haven't tried Ten yet.

mmmmmm, going to have to stop at the store on the way home. Fingers of Fury huh? Is that reserved for people on your good side or your bad side?

Yes please. Probably leaning towards full-bodied, don't know that i could recognize peaty or smoky yet, but always willing to try. How about 1 of each?

Glenfiddich is very popular, but my recollection of it is that it's not much better than a good 12-year old blended. There's a lot of better single malts out there. Which one depends on taste (from lighter body ones with almost no peatiness or smokiness to hardcore Islay's). Any good recommendations for a novice?

mmmmmmm, Mr's Selkirk has put up something like 14 or 20 pints of raspberry freezer jam this summer I don't think she believe me when I told her that no one I've ever known has been able to actually pick all their ripe raspberries for a patch of any reasonable size. At one point I think we picked 4 or 5 gallons in 1 week! Though this past week we've been bad and some have gone bad on the vine

just finished a bottle glen fiddich I think? 12 year old something or other. I have no idea what the differences between good whiskeys are, but it sure was tasty goin down

personally, I prefer good whiskey.

Mascular

some mexicanish sandwhich - bread + warm mushed black beans + cilantro + avocado slices + sautéed ham and tomato slices = Pretty damn yummy. Especially if you have a beer, which negates all those pesky healthy aspects.

So shorten the arms and limit the extension. I use this for quite a few top rope anchors while cragging, and just throw and overhand in the arms to limit extension in the case of failure. Max extension would be 8 or 10 inches, but maintains the equalization through a reasonable range. Besides, while it might be a "shock load" the only place I've ever really used this anchor is on Sport routes, at which point it's no like your taking a static factor 2 onto the anchor, but most likely a dynamic top rope fall.

mmmmmm. Had black bean Torta's. healthy but so damn tasty!!!!

mmmmmmm, every day is a good day for italian!

Mostly the poster child for stubborn streaks coming in from every branch of my family. I have rarely met anyone who is as stubborn or bull headed as 95% of my family, and I've never met anyone who was more stubborn or driven then a few select members of my family.
