Where did you learn to tie a tie? :icon14:

Damn millennials and their newfangled youtubes. hahaha. It's a trinity knot. I use to do different knots almost every day when I worked at a lawfirm. Just taught myself how to do different styles throughout the years. I don't get to do them much anymore, so I went with something that is also a fun conversation starter.

My bottle has a home!

That is called the "trinity" knot? It looks more like the Drunken Dyslexic Blind Sailor knot...

Stick with the four-in-hand or half-Windsor for best results.

I still don't know how to tie a tie. I tied one once and I have since left it tied for when I need to wear one. :ugh2:

My favorite knot for solid colored ties is the Eldredge knot :)

For stripes, I pretty much always prefer half-Windsors. With thick stripes, though, the Trinity looks like either an umbrella or a delta, so it's kind of cool when that happens. :tup:

That explains quite a bit...

half or full windsor for work functions

Eldridge for parties

Trinity for weddings

Bowties for functional events

So the girlfriend had a bad experience over a decade ago eating eggplant. I guess whoever made it for her used wicked thick slices that were sour and horribly seasoned. I rectified that last night and she has a new found love of the the vegetable.

I thinly sliced (1/8th") a eggplant. Patted dry to remove as much excess water as possible. Dipped in egg followed by panko breadcrumbs heavily seasoned with oregano, onion, garlic, and whatever else I saw fitting out of my spice rack. Set oil temp to 300F and lightly fried until golden brown. Drained and placed in shallow baking **** with marinara and mozz cheese. Broiled for 1 minute.

Her face lit up like a xmas tree. The eggplant was crisp and packed with flavor. The sauce added some needed acidity and the cheese gave the crunhyness a better texture.

Next time, I want to make eggplant caprese. Haven't made a balsamic reduction in forever.

Oh god. I think I am becoming popular on here...

No, you are not.

Finally got around to installing the AAM S-line midpipe and resonated short tails yesterday. Today got the windows tinted. Next up is the Gen 3s. Hopefully in about a month.

Let me know how you like that setup! I think I have (at least one of) the loudest Z's in the US (or at least Texas) :tup: :p I've always thought that the midpipe+short tails would be a good setup, too.
