Cat's in the Cradle. And the Laundry Room, and the Abandoned House... California man finds huge mountain lion hiding behind washing machine Tiger found by pot smoker in abandoned Houston home
An anonymous tipster reported seeing the animal about a week ago, according to BARC.Hallucinating a tiger? Geeze, just how strong is pot these days? Turns out, very. Back in that day pot was about 2% THC. Now it's about 20-25%. This may not be as benign a drug as its proponents claim. Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence Feel Good Story I can't link this because he took it down (no idea why, but I'd guess that maybe he was embarrassed by the attention), but a mechanic from Kentucky posted a story earlier this week on Twitter that made a lot of people smile. Seems a struggling single mother brought her car into his shop for work. She was quite proud that she had saved up $600 over 8 months to get repairs done, and burst into tears when he told her that it was totally unsafe and would need $4000 worth of repairs. She told him to fix what she had brought it in for and that she would “just park it” until she could save up to have all the work done. He told her that he would have to “special order” a tire, she could pick it up Thursday. He used the time to do all of the work so that the car was “100% safe and reliable”. “My shop, my rules” he said. I'm not going to post his Twitter handle because he deleted the tweets, but I'm sure everybody here will join me in saying “Well done, sir. Well done.”
The tipster said they were at the house to smoke marijuana and thought they were hallucinating when they first saw the tiger, according to police.
Out for a Ride “Where ya been Sven?” “Out. Riding my bike”
Pulling No Punches My Sister Kate Interview with Mallory Millett, whose sister Kate was one of the driving forces behind first-wave feminism, and she is absolutely brutal in her assessment of the movement and her sister. It's a stinging indictment of “progressivism” and a full throated defense of traditional Western values.
I would say that raising several ill-prepared fatherless generations of slackers, meth and opioid users, porn dogs, disheveled rockers, and illiterates speaks poorly of any degree of empowerment in parenting. Most parenting is done by absent single women since two-thirds of mothers are raising their youngsters outside of marriage. So, we have the filthy clothes, ten o’clock shadows on guys, shocking grammar, plethora of tattoos, sullen misfits in torn filthy clothing listening to violent hate-filled so-called music; entitled attitudes and non-existent manners say it all. Empowerment? Why, the facts scream that feminists are two generations of the worst-ever educators of America’s children. In what manner does this speak of empowerment? Woman, by your fruits are you known! And those fruits didn’t come out of your briefcases.She also has as a theme something that I've believed for a long time: Under traditional Western mores, women are the superior sex.
When women ran society, power emanated from the home. Men labored to keep their families sheltered, warm, clad and fed while women mostly stayed in the home to run the children and the community. Mother oversaw the household and carefully watched the children’s behavior. Most of the neighborhood women knew each other and had informal meetings in their living rooms and kitchens, called “coffee klatches.” It was here that the community developed ground rules on how to manage children and husbands. Any mother was free to chastise anyone else’s child should they misbehave. It was pretty unheard of for someone to say, “How dare you correct my child!” They would agree amongst themselves what was desired behavior. Good manners were required and trained. Neighbors backed each other up. It was expected. The essential rules that Moms formed in their infants and homes radiated outwardly into streets, schools, offices, boardrooms, departments, factories and agencies to form the framework of Western ethics. The communities, churches and schools all echoed the same values because most people went to Church or Temple and so, the foundation of our mores being Judeo/Christian, Mom’s rules were designed by the Ten Commandments. Many towns didn’t lock their doors, even at night. So, after fifty years of the almighty “consciousness-raising” experiment to empower women, and during the recent Harvey Weinstein [sexual assaults] scandal, what we are hearing from the little girlish voices of the victims is, “I froze, I was paralyzed. I gave in because I didn’t know what to do. I was terrified!” Hey, that’s some weird kind of empowerment. When I was a girl we did what our moms instructed: we yelled “NO,” slapped his face, and left the room or called a cop.
Feminists love to quote Ephesians 5 22-24 as proof of the “oppressive” nature of Christianity:
22 Wives, obey your husbands as you obey the Lord.
23 The husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church people. The church is his body and he saved it.
24 Wives should obey their husbands in everything, just as the church people obey Christ.
I notice, however, that they never quote the companion verse 25:
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church people. He gave his life for the church.So if women are expected to obey their husbands, but husbands are expected to die for their wives....tell me, which is the more important sex in that situation? Anyhow, read the whole thing, it's wicked good.

It also keeps meat very tender and doesn't allow it to dry out.... which, of course, means that you have to sear any meat prior to pressure cooking. Like a slow cooker, you aren't getting any dry heat. But things won't dry out; and you likely aren't getting anything overdone.

I also tend to gather in pressure canners.
If you cook that carcass of a chicken for about 20 minutes at fifteen lbs pressure you will have cooked everything out of those chicken bones.
If you tip a quarter cup of vinegar in with the chicken to cook it, you will wind up getting even more.
The things you can do with the pressure cookers is wonderful.

Sodium. All prepackaged soups have more salt than a salt lick. Homemade soup has better taste, less sodium (usually... my mother in law's chicken soup? Might as well drink the Morton container!).
As is usual, homemade stuff is typically tastier and healthier. But not as convenient, oh no.

Lots of scholars, mostly Left, think Paul didn't write Ephesians. I'm thinking nowadays that Saint Paul did.
Paul had seen the baptismal formula's effects upon his congregations, which misused it. Some decades later, Saint Clement had to deal with the same effects in the same congregations, starting with Corinth.

Pressure cookers cook much faster and much more cheaply than a pot or an oven.
If you put 15lbs of pressure on your pressure cooker, you are getting about 240degrees F, and one you get it up to pressure you can keep it there at very low heat. You can't do that with an open pot. You can do it in an oven of course

Infant mortality rates finally began dropping, big time, around 1915. Prior to that, it was about 25%. Many of those babies who died would be considered pretty healthy by modern standards.
A baby like I was, born jaundiced, cross-eyed, and pigeon toed with a severe scoliosis, would have next to no chance of survival, and if I had survived, I'd have been severely handicapped.
Thanks to the miracle of American medicine, I not only made it past infancy, but with surgeries for my eyes and treatments for my back, I am able to see straight and walk straight. By high school I was able to compete in athletics and excel in academics.
All of this progress, and for what? So that our twisted, freakish, evil overlords can have healthy, viable victims to murder for their sick death-cult.

Ah, I wondered what the purist would say. And that's basically why I haven't gotten one, nor an Instant Pot. I like to be hands-on with the food, and be involved in the cooking process. I do, however, have a crazy good rice cooker that sort of acts as a pressure cooker during one part of its robot cycle. It does a better job with rice than I ever could, and I don't need to be hands-on for that part of the meal.

But overall, how obvious and inexpensive it can be to make good food including meat continues to amaze me.
Just one illustrative example (approx., from memory). Trimmed chicken thighs on sale - under 90 cents a pound. Bottle of house brand BBQ sauce (on sale) - maybe $2? Some spices. Slow cooker. 10 minutes of work, to include the "pulling". Huge amount of delicious pulled chicken.
Of course judging by results actual nutrition/cooking knowledge and skills in the populace have plummeted.

Yeah, we've got a deep freezer and I generally try to hit the grocery stores early in the morning to get the stuff the butcher has marked down. I've had some really good luck at Sam's Clubs, too. The Plus membership where you can enter at 7am has probably paid for itself just in that aspect.
My best ever buy was a few brisket(s?) that were marked down from $50ish to $15. Yes, I'll take all you have, and thank you very much.

I appreciate these insights from you about Chicago.
I had assumed that the corruption there was straightforward like in Denver - here everything is just an appendage of the Democrat Party from the governor and mayor down to the last beat cop, and it's all very predictable.
Chicago sounds much more factional and convoluted.
I had just figured the Dem Party bosses at the national level called the shots, and then the local Chicago/IL goons followed instructions, like here.

You remember how the New Horizons spacecraft flew past the Kuiper Belt object called Ultima Thule on January 1? Most of you saw the early images:
https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap190129.html
It looked like two roughly spherical objects stuck together. That was pretty unusual all by itself.
But wait. It's weirder than that.
Turns out that the first photos happened to be face-on, and it's actually two flat pancake-shaped objects stuck together at the edge.

I don't understand that thing with the French.
With the rest of continental Europe, the men stink really, really bad. I mean "knock a buzzard off a shit wagon" bad.
But the women don't.
Eventually I had a Polish dude explain that this is because a lot of Europeans view deodorant as a women's product, and that dudes feel feminine using it (he was deodorant user, and not feminine, BTW).
But not the French. Even their chicks stink, and when women stink, it's worse than men.

A friend who was a man-loving feminist and fashion model told me a secret (because I was no competition in the model biznis). Her secret for Perfect Skin was....garlic. Lotsa garlic. Comes through the skin in the tropical climes where they do lots of shoots. As she said, they can't smell garlic through the picture.
Personally, I would have let Gina Lollobrigida eat garlic in bed (or Luciana Pauluzzi, for that matter).

It was sort of a standard Hallmark card, in the $8 range, and the thing that sealed the deal was the writing in it, the sentiment, was just so completely over the top that my wife knew immediately that I Could never write anything like that.
She opened it and we both burst out laughing.
That is what married 40+ years gets you. LOL!

I saw an old Top Gear where the celebrity guest was a Brit actor who lived in the States, and was a US citizen.
Clarkson spent the whole interview angling to get him to bash on America and Americans, and the guy was politely evasive for most of it.
Eventually, Clarkson landed a really petty, derisive dig about how the Americans are always asking you if you want extra cheese on everything. And it wasn't like an "isn't this a strange quirk" kind of thing - he was really nasty and mocking in his tone about it.
That, for whatever reason, was the line for this guy. He just told Clarkson "Have you stopped to consider that Americans really like cheese, and they are trying to be nice and accommodate you? Because they really are the nicest people in the world, and it's one of the things I love about being an American."

It saves a lot of time and has turned out great for the most part, but one time I gave my wife something that was intended for a step-mother. My step-mother. Which I don't have.
It's still the best approach I'm aware of, though, and the people standing around trying to find the perfect card that says something perfectly different than the other perfect cards always get a laugh out of me swooping in, grabbing my perfect card, and walking away immediately.

Yikes on that maryjane story. Some folks get good pain relief from the CBD and then there are the few epilepsy, parkinson's cases that are helped too, so I wish the feds would legalize the plant but set a THC limit or something. But I'd undo the recreational pot law here if I could. The med. MJ was such a joke, with real docs scared to prescribe and docs that would prescribe would do so on any excuse that I actually thought it would be better to end the charade, but that having to see even a quack doc or keep the usage on the down low did limit the damage.

Someone told me that he knew a guy who was visiting in Germany and was quite taken by a lovely German girl. He didn't speak German but he tried buying her cards with flowers on them.
Apparently the cards with lovely flowers on them he bought were actually condolence cards for funerals.

The map said go Meridian, Hattiesburg, I-10 but instead I went on I-20 to Shreveport, south on US-79 to Carthage, then US-59 through the Timpson-Bobo-Tenaha microplex, Nacogdoches, Lufkin, Livingston, Houston. Plodding but predictable. All it takes is one crash on the Atchafalaya causeway and it's a delay of hours.

after my name change, a colleague asked "marriage or divorce?" I was feeling down about the divorce but when I answered the question, he said " here's to freedom". That made me feel a bit better.

My best friend married a Chinese gal. His in-laws spend half the year in Hong Kong to get away from Boston winters. Anyway, he hasn't complained about the food. Well, he mentions that the Chinese eat like Hobbits but otherwise, no complaints.

Scored:
1960s Remington 572 Fieldmaster ADL. Pump action .22 in Very Good condition.
Absolutely identical to the first firearm I ever owned. No, not the same one come back to me, but as close as can be.
Under $400, shipped. Usually, these go for a hundred or two more, when in this condition.
I will hug it and pet it and feed it CCI Mini Mags and call it George. /looney tunes

Pretty sure Jussie was always looking for a way to feed his vanity and his need for attention. Like most mentally unstable democrats, he chose to invent a hate crime to get the attention he craves. Also, like most democrats, he's too stupid to pull it off.
He should be charged with a hate crime for trying to frame white conservative men for a crime he made up.

For the meat, I used turkey leftover from cooking a turkey over the weekend.. it was one I got at Christmas when they were on loss-leader sale.. 11 pound turkey for $4.08!
Soup was good.
Be well, Dave!
BTW - I got a pressure cooker - Instant Pot - for Christmas. I have only made baby back ribs in it so far.. not bad.. (not great!) but I got plans for much more.
After a lifetime of cooking, my wife is kinda done. So, if I want something that takes more than 15 minutes, I gotta do it myself.
I have mostly been a bread baker over the years.. but I have my specialties as well.. BBQ, of course.. We grill a lot in the summer. but I do stuff in the crock pot too.. easy peasy if I can get my act together before heading to work!

YD, I'd pair for the steak. Which means cabernet (suavignon, or franc, again, like Cicero says, good ones), or malbec. Also can't go far wrong with syrah, like RickZ says, though depending on how you're cooking the steak, probably best to have a syrah with some spice (they vary quite a bit).
Only if you can find one, there are some zinfandels that have tremendous black pepper flavors, made for steak (esp. grilled).
But I think since it's a special meal and you're going to some trouble, insert crow bar into wallet, extract some $$, and get a very good cab sauvignon.

If you have to fork, fork. Don't chopstick.
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. at February 14, 2019 11:20 PM (aKsyK)
Chopsticks are good for trying to lose weight. Lots of fiber but very little fat in chopsticks! But seriously, using chopsticks forces one to slow down when eating. Some people think a fork is a steam-shovel.

Well, I am a low maintenance female, and have been really relaxed about the whole thing. That being said, my maid of honor is being kind of problematic, which is totally not fair, since her job is to keep ME from freaking out.

So I actually ordered a pizza from Round Table tonight for dinner, given what I said about Valentine's above.
I went ahead and splurged on delivery. It's now... 35 minutes past the time they promised to have it here.
So I just got off the phone with the store. They said my pizza just went out the door to be delivered.
They made it good by telling me my next pizza, no matter the size, is 100% free.
Pizza really does love me back! ;-)

A Cabernet is the obvious choice, but they vary a lot. Some are really good (read $$$$) and some are like alcohol and grape juice.

Stick to a lighter, more fruity, red, along the lines of a Beaujolais.

Having met this gent two TxMoMeets past, I'll vouch the 'Ettes as to his fitness, image, carriage and manners.
As a fellow Moron, I could hang out with Country Boy, and it seems, in pretty much any setting.
Alas, neither of us brought a tux to the Mo Meet, so there's some limitation as to the endorsement.
But to any single 'Ettes out there wanting to snag a man approved of and accepted by all the other Morons at the event?
Y'all best sharpen up your flirting game, and start vying to snag the man's attention.
Someone out there, one of YOU out there, is missing an opportunity.

If you like wines that are a bit fruitier you could go with a red Zinfandel. Another idea for a special fruitier wine is crus beaujolais. The St. Amour is popular around Valentines for obvious reasons but there are bolder options like Morgon that might fit better with steak.
Really you can't go wrong. I would lean towards something she might like and not worry about the perfect pairing. IF it where me, I would go Chianti Classico because of the other ingredients. The Florentines have a huge steak culture too.

There's a lot of good hearty whites that will stand up to a steak while not overpowering a cream sauce dish. I've had some hearty Chardonnays from California that were good with red meat.
It's sort of like why a red is best for Thanksgiving meals. It's not because of the turkey, it's because of the usually heavy side dishes. With YD's menu, it's the cream sauce dish you have to think about when it comes to wine pairing. While a Zinfandel or a Chianti would be great with a steak, with a cream sauce dish, not so much.

One of the great wine writers/critics, Hugh Johnson (really, that was his name, pervs), I believe, said "great wine is wine you like".
Speaking of cheap wines, just opened a carmenere - it's OK, but not strong carmenere flavor (which I like but is not for everyone). It's a French red grape that, like malbec (one of the Bordeaux reds), really is known from its South American versions. Malbec still has some French/Euro presence (mostly used to blend), but Argentina is the home of most great malbec.
Carmenere's even a smaller niche wine. Chile is where it has found its best home. Thing is, only the really good ones are good. Have never had a cheap good one (which is common with things like Aussie syrah).

meals. Eating salted peanuts with chopsticks shows you have mastered
the chopsticks.
You may now leave the Chinese restaurant, weed hopper.
Once when Big was a young teen (maybe 14), we went to a Chinese restaurant. He was struggling with his chopsticks, and I was giving him the "It's important to eat food with the utensil it was designed to be eaten with" bit. He struggled on until the entire kitchen staff came out and sat near us to eat their dinners - with forks. He looked pointedly at me and I just threw up my hands.
Now I'm going to bed. Don't burn the place down, y'hear?

If I get what you are saying, you are talking Carlo Rossie type with the big burgundy label. I think it is still around but maybe they were stopped from using the name. Of course there is the high end burgundy from France. And the chablis which was also a Rossi version. They might have been stopped from using those names as they are French protected names. But I thought they were still around. Some American producers still use the name Champagne.

I once was able to walk into any major Wine & Spirits store, and find an entire section of racks of wine under the overhanging shingle titled: "Burgandies"
All but the bottom most shelf were various French labels and California (contested by the French) labels.
Bottom shelf were no name labels.
The domestic rotgut, Carlos Rossi, Gallo, Mateus, etc.... I think those were stocked either with the novelty bottles at the registers, or in the back in the hallway leading to the men's rest room.
I exaggerate. But not by very much.
Point is, BURGANDY (the region, not the color), used to be a prominent segment of the market, in and of itself.
And that was a grouping of some entirely satisfactory wines.

In the 90's, I ran into Trump one night in front of Trump Towers in NYC. I was a tourist, he was getting out of a limo with Marla.
He's very tall. They're saying 6'3", I'd say taller than that. My Dad was 6' and he seemed MUCH taller.
Also, he looked angry and intimidating at the time. I like that in a president.

The region of Burgundy is still kicking. Many people are priced out of it because rich people from Asia in particular bid the prices up. There was a special on netflix about fake wines, burgundy is probably the most faked because of the high prices.
At the normal people level, it is not that easy to get a well priced burgundy. There are cheaper options such as Oregon Pinot Noirs and some from Cali. The ones from Oregon are more like Burgundy. And really, they are not cheap either.
Anyway, if someone called something a Burgundy, I would expect it to at least be a pinot noir. The white Burgundy is chardonnay.

In recent decades, tastes have moved to drier wines (traditional Burgundies would be considered sweet today), and the producers have wanted to be more specific about types and origins. "Burgundy", being a historical region, is also not trademarkable.
Therefore the French producers have divided into smaller recognized regions, under a stricter DOC system.

But pinot has been bid up to uncomfortable price levels, in general.
A good wine store should still have some lower-priced options. That's what I generally drink for pinot - though I'm lucky to have some Oregons from a trip a few years back, and some Kosta Browne (collectible, cult-level spoiled grape juice) thanks to a now-deceased friend who was on their list.

I tried kale for the first time. I've resisted it, because kale is for jagoffs, but I got this recipe that called for it, and figured I'd try it. It's awful.

The American market "Lancers", et al, were horrid alcoholic kool aid, in comparison.
SWEET wines, are a Riesling and such. Blue Nun was a candy bar in a bottle, but bore no resemblance to an authentic, mid-road Burgandy.
To be able to sip a wine, and cringe NEITHER as sweet nor dry.
That's pretty damn hard to find these days, it seems.
And don't even get me started on the wines so heavy with nitrites that I get heartburn before I even swallow the first sip.
What the FUCK is it with the nitrides? They trying to cure bacon in a bottle, or what?

American champagnes, or even the Spanish Frexeneit, are usually labeled 'Champagne Methode', or champagne method; sometimes it's called 'sparkling wine'. To be called champagne only, like Veuve Cliquot, is to be from the Champagne region of France.
I think of champagne in the same way I think of Parmigiano-Reggiano, it's a brand name tied to a specific geographic location. If you've ever had American parmesan, you noticed the very definitive taste difference - for the worst.

Not exactly. "Methode Champenoise" allegedly discovered by Dom Perignon, means that carbonation takes place in the bottle. Most sparking wines are produced using the "tank method" in which carbonation takes place in big tanks prior to bottling.

I tried kale for the first time. I've resisted it, because kale is for jagoffs, but I got this recipe that called for it, and figured I'd try it. It's awful.
I guarantee, when I make it again with spinach instead it'll be really good.
I don't know how people can eat kale - and I like coles, including the dreaded sprouts.

Quint a lot of the CA producers were doing some sort of proprietary red
blends years ago. Usually would only find them at the winery, and often
they were good. Often a twist on a traditional blend - bordeaux reds
.... plus zin. Or something like that.
A few central coast CA places had good ones that did see some distribution. Adelaida (west side Paso) had a solid one.
But it really is striking now to see the large "red blend" section
at grocery stores. Don't think there was even a specific section 5
years ago.
Posted by: rhomboid at February 15, 2019 12:30 AM (QDnY+)
Yeah it is taking over the wine section like yogurt did the dairy section five years ago. I remember the California field blends and the California Meritage in the Bordeaux style. Those were good wines I would actually seek out, good food wines. But this new style is gross imo. Way to fruit forward, low acidity, and lots of residual sugar. It is interesting, the sellers say this is what Millennialls want, and this is the growing category, but the wine category is shrinking. I am thinking the market experts might have judged poorly.

Right that is what it means. And several domestic producers use the Methode Champenoise, Korbel is an example. The Spanish Cava is also made by the Methode Champenoise or Traditional Method. The omnipresent Prosseco and many domestic sparkling wines are carbonated in tanks, also called the Charmant method.

Fresh cheese can be quite good. It all depends on what the cheese maker is going for. Some cheeses are good after a couple of weeks, or less if we're talking fresh mozzarella, but some require many months on the shelf to get the flavor the cheese maker wants. I happen to like the Mexican Cotija cheese. It's crumbly, like a feta, but has a unique flavor profile.
"When the (Cotija) cheese is made, it is white, fresh and salty thus bearing immense resemblance to feta cheese. However, with aging it becomes hard and crumbly like Parmigiano-Reggiano."

Such a perfect wine for a pre-national-chain made, local market pizza.

Real ports probably are a bit underpriced. I think real Spanish Sherry is underpriced and simply underappreciated in this country. That is another name that got trampled by misuse of the term.

Bring these back, combined:
A real Shakey's Pizza joint. Pre video game era.
Family style seating on dark stained picnic benches. Red checkered vinyl tablecloths.
The old yeasty bad for you Shakey's Pizza, done exactly as in the days of yore.
Pitchers of authentic Schlitz Beer, the recipe from the 60s, and nothing later.
Suitable substitutes from the same era.
Hamm's Beer.
Olympia Beer.
From the days when they were brewed in their original breweries, and not subject to the conglomeration of the '80s and beyond.
And back then, we Morons could have lit up a cigar in the place, with nary a complaint.
Shot a game of pool or two, as well. Like I said....pre-video era.
These were considered FAMILY places, by the way. And they were.
The kind of Family Place where kids got to see their dad being a Man, eating and drinking responsibly (mostly), engaging with other men as MEN around the pool table, and teaching the kids how to engage in that scene, without it being a collegiate binge drinking bacchanal.
This is how we used to be.

We talked about how (quality) pinot noir has been priced to the heavens in recent years, but a broader story is just how inexpensive decent wines of all kinds are now. As I've said to my favorite wine store owner for years, as I buy another quite drinkable $7 Aussie shiraz - "hard to imagine that everybody involved is making a profit when you're producing decent wine and shipping it half way around the world, for $7". He agrees.

Well Tokay cane from Hungary, and what have the Californians done with that? As I understand, the first commercial winery in California was from a Hungarian who brought plantlings around Cape Horn. He figured that selling something alcoholic to miners was a better bet than panning for gold himself.
In recent years cuttings have been brought back to Hungary to restart red grape/wine production on the north shore of Lake Balaton, where all the red vines were killed off by phylloxera about a century ago.

Well I don't know about wine, but I do know about Millennials and marketing.
Half the time, whatever it is they like is terrible, and it's not a product you want to market.
The other half of the time, they're latching on to some existing product. But it's just a trend, and a quick one. Usually it's some derisive, ironic statement-type thing where they don't actually care about the product, like with their craze for PBR.
This means that there is little potential to build brand loyalty, or lifetime customer value. It's all just momentary, and has a really bad effect on brands.
Often, it just drives up the price of a low-priced product for no apparent reason, prices out its existing loyal customer base, and then ruins everything when the hipsters move to the next trend.
Trying to make long-term market decisions based on millennials (as I assume the wine industry pretty much has to make long-term decisions) is a fool's errand.

Somewhere around the turn of the century Gallo started branding some high quality wines with the Gallo name. Supposedly it was the kids from that family that decided to rebrand. They were not crazy expensive, they were in the $20 range. I haven't seen one of these wines in years so i guess they dropped it. But Gallo makes a lot of really great wines under other names. Many don't realize that the Gallo company makes as much wine as some wine producing states.

Finest Port I have ever enjoyed was a brand "Benjamin's" out of Australia.
Being an avid cigar enthusiast, I'm kind of INTO a good Port, you might say.
Surprisingly, an economical purchase, at about $16 the 750 ml, in a "Captain's Bottle" heavy based decanter.
Today?
Not only is it not on the market, but the very winery which produced it can NOT be found on the net, no matter how strong your Google Fu.
This is strange.
That Port, was amazing, sublime, enchanting.
And as intended, THE perfect match with any fine cigar.
It was so good, after the port and cigar, I had to roll over and have a cigarette.

Gallo (particularly the current owners) has always been extremely protective of their brand, it wouldn't surprise if they wanted the Gallo name to be associated with their higher quality wines.

ports are declared? Seems not that frequently. And yes, the vintage
ones are pricey.
Posted by: rhomboid at February 15, 2019 01:21 AM (QDnY+)
I recall reading that it was about three times a decade. Of course the theory would be they would do it in really good years so you can't predict a number. I think there are more now, not fewer.
I had a Colheita port recently. That is a single vintage but aged in wood for a long time like a tawny port. It was good stuff. I like the tawny ports for the nutty characteristics and because they last a while after opening. They are not better than vintage of course, just different.

I would venture a guess that the best Chinese food in North America can be found in Vancouver, B.C. It's not just in Chinatown any more. All over the entire metro area. And just about any Chinese regional and/or fusion cuisine you could imagine. And lots of fresh seafood.

Aw, thankya, ma'am. Not so much, really. Just how I tend to write, what with some meter and rhythm and such.
But I *have* written but a couple pieces of actual poetry, and no more. Just those two.
Long form essays tend to be my thing, but I do like to let the sentences resonate and sing, as opposed to stagnate and die.
So many reasons why I don't let my own, old, moribund blog yet again, fly. But I don't, and it doesn't.
Don't know when it might fly, again.

That is it EXACTLY, and that proves the POWER of a local retailers' influence with the search engines.
When Spec's Liquor dropped that line, the ability to even FIND the AU vintner of it, VANISHED.
Thank you, Y.D.
I've saved your link to Favorites, and am going to find an alternate source of importation.
BUY IT if it's in your local market.
Not necessarily the BEST Port, ever.

Almost did it back in the 90s, but the Euro gf situation on which the
trip was premised detonated.
We talked about how (quality) pinot noir has been priced to the
heavens in recent years, but a broader story is just how inexpensive
decent wines of all kinds are now. As I've said to my favorite wine
store owner for years, as I buy another quite drinkable $7 Aussie shiraz
- "hard to imagine that everybody involved is making a profit when
you're producing decent wine and shipping it half way around the world,
for $7". He agrees.
Also the golden age of guns in America. Prices, quality, selection. Ammo prices pretty good too.
Just don't combine your Gun Golden Age with your Guns Golden Age, unless you do it in that order.
Posted by: rhomboid at February 15, 2019 01:04 AM (QDnY+)
I like Aussie Shiraz too. My ultimate dream wine is Penfold's Grange. I watched a program about Grange decades ago and it always intrigued me. It sucks that it is one of the most expensive regularly produced wines in the world.
As for shipping, others know more about the subject than I do. I do recall an import/export class where they told us it cost less to ship something across an ocean than to put that same product on a truck in the USA and drive it a hundred miles. That was a generalization of course but interesting nonetheless.

I have grave things to tell you!
For the last several hours I have felt an ill wind rising in many regions of this thread. Disquiet is overtaking minds; doubt is gaining control of spirits. The authority of the cob is made the subject of discussion; comments are often being ill spelled.
In an atmosphere of false rumors and intrigues, the forces of snarquisme are growing discouraged. Others are trying to take their place without their nobleness or disinterestedness. My commentarie is too often involved, even against the trolls, to justify self-styled undertakings of salvation which, in fact, amount to nothing more than appeals for indiscipline.
A real uneasiness inflicts the Horde nation. The reasons for this uneasiness are easy to understand. Cruel hours are always followed by difficult times.

Another good fighting wine is Melbourne Old-and-Yellow, which is particularly heavy and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.
Quite the reverse is true of Château Chunder, which is an appellation contrôlée, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.
Real emetic fans will also go for a Hobart Muddy, and a prize winning Cuvee Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga, which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

Woke up at 3 with localized back pain, one side only, never had em before but "internet research" ( I know, I know) leads me, early 60s male in otherwise good health (not on any medications) to believe a kidney stone is the cause of my current unease.
Outright pain, actually, which is why I am here, to ask if this sort of thing is an ER visit or hold out for a regular office visit a few hours later?
Or, more specifically, will a regular doc send me to the hospital or do something in office to 1) make determination of cause, like a sonogram or 2) send me straight over to the hospital for testing?
The pain level is nearly the abdominal equivalent of migraine pain - not completely incapacitating but pretty damn close. Ibuprofen not helpful at all.
Anyone been through kidney stones lately?

Actually, one of the best things to drink for kidney stones is, wait for it . . . , BEER! But if beer is not an option, try drinking 100% regular cranberry juice. But make sure it's 100% juice by reading all the plethora of labels very carefully. Ocean Spray is quite tricksy with their labeling.

No problem. I woke up with a little pain in the center of the back myself. Nothing I did yesterday. I just think it's muscular from sleeping in a cold bedroom. I probably kicked the covers off during the night.
Naproxen (Aleve) is the best stuff for muscular pain and cramping (women). Might want to up your intake of magnesium.

You really have to wonder if people like him have ever set foot outside the country not as a tourist. They need to spend some time somewhere south of the border in places that are not bubble wrapped sanitized beaches, hotels and vacation destinations. And eat what the locals are eating, not the Americanized version.
Sadly I doubt it would help in most cases They would blame the misery on American imperialism and greed.
