hahah, so true! :tup: think I'll just stick with the archaic key method

When you're working for the agency that built this country on collected revenues and helped pay for the Louisiana Purchase and Alaska, you can pretty much do anything. lol

I don't think it's on par with what you posted, but has been great for everything I needed.

Funny and sad:

In the U.S. E&J Gallo sold what they claimed to be a Pinot Noir under their Red Bicyclette label. Apparently they sold 13.5 million litres of the stuff without anyone, their own wine blenders or any of their customers noticing in wasn't actually a Pinot Noir at all. It was a blend of several wines including Syrah,Merlot and Shiraz.
The only reason the French wine producers were found out was because an alert customs official noticed that more Pinot Noir was being shipped to Gallo than the Languedoc area was capable of producing.

Night gents, I'm heading to bed :tiphat:

later!

nite

yeah, those are good knives too! completely different, but in a good way!:tiphat:

Republic of Tea is pretty good. Most places are, really -- it's just a matter of preference. I've just really started to like Rooibos because it doesn't have that aftertaste that normal black tea does. Makes it a good tea to drink in the morning as well as afternoon.

As far as the pen -- Levenger is awesome for everything they sell. All of their pens are outstanding in both form and function.

Birthday Tuesday and I'm still trolling this thread for something I want to buy myself. Hm.

How many candles you burnin?

How about an Optimo hand-crafted, custom hat:

Or a pocket watch?

That is a pretty sweet pocket watch. I don't think I'd get any use out of any sort of watch though. Too used to checking my phone, I'd probably never even glance at it, haha.

Also your sig reminded me of True West because I'm a lit nerd.

My 5d Mark 2 thank god for full frame!

Having a car too :)

I prefer Longhorn Wintergreen. Its ultra cheap, ultra strong, but tastes like Cope left in a gym sock. Its an acquired taste.

This is nice, is this your pocket watch?

No, just something one of the chaps over at another board picked up. I liked it, so I thought I'd post it.

Just found these bad boys, albeit delicious, they seem a little pretentious, so maybe they belong here.

Bacon, Egg and Toast Cups

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3517/...681167b577.jpg

"Oh, how I LOVE these little cuties! What an ingenious idea – bacon, eggs and toast all wrapped up in a cute little muffin-sized package. Even better, these take next to no time to throw together so they are perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast, or a quick breakfast-for-dinner night. Growing up my absolute favorite breakfast was known in my family as an “eggy on toasty” (an over-easy fried egg on a piece of toast), even better when made by my sweet Grampa. These remind me so much of that favorite dish, and I hope that one day these will be a favorite breakfast of one of our kids. These are much more ideal than regular fried eggs to serve a whole family because you can make so many at a time, rather than having to cook eggs in batches.

Ingredients:
6 slices of bacon
6 slices of bread
Shredded cheese
6 eggs
Salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Grease 6 wells of a muffin pan with butter. In a frying pan, cook bacon about 3-5 minutes, until partially cooked but not completely crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Cut out rounds of bread (I used a 3.5-inch round cookie cutter, but a drinking glass would be fine.) Press the bread rounds into the greased muffin wells. Curl a piece of bacon around the periphery of each piece of bread, positioning it between the bread and the muffin tin to help keep it in position. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese in the center of each piece of bread. One at a time, crack an egg, removing about half of the white, and dropping the remaining white and yolk over each piece of bread, being careful not to break the yolks. Once all the bread pieces have been topped with eggs, bake until eggs are cooked through to your liking (about 6-10 minutes) and bacon is crispy. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin well and pop the egg cups out. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately."

The Elgin pocket watch made me think to post this. It's a 1952 Lord Elgin, that my Dad bought in Japan in 1952. He was on leave during the Korean war. He was a Ranger, so you know the kinds of things those guys did. This "leave" in Japan also included a few bath houses/Geishas as well :p
This watch costs $100 in 1952, a lot of money back then. It's gold filled, not plated. It stopped working years ago and sat in his desk. He asked me if I wanted it and of course I said yes. I took it to a local high end watch repair shop. They said back then Lord Elgin was one of the top watch brands. They repaired the swiss movement, then sent it off to an expert who refaced it to the exact condition as new. I wear it now sparingly, so as not to damage it. It is a very nice antique that keeps perfect time. Dad was of course proud to see his timepiece restored to close to new condition, and enjoyed by his son.

I'm starving, and I LOVE bacon and eggs........... those look delicious :yum:

I actually make those cups... they are also very nice without the egg but with some homemade tuna salad, kind of like a tuna melt...

Those look so good :yum:

I wonder if they reheat well.... Just make a batch Monday and last a couple days...

For me, using egg-whites instead would be an absolute win.
