[A Friend of Charlie]

going to try building some red clam sauce for dinner. starting with tomato and basil, whole baby clams, mushrooms, and sweet red peppers. not sure whether I'll put it on rotini, smalls shells, bow ties, or ziti.

I'm looking at shrimp scampi over linguini.

shrimp! I may run into town and get a 1/2# of fresh shrimp to add. thanks Tony.

No problem. I can help you eat it too.

Holt's was free shipping too?

Yes, it was.

morning LTGDave.

Morning, Dean. What's on the agenda for today?

as far as I've gotten is to stay warm, smoke cigars, and drink coffee.

sounds like a plan...
good morning boys,  my half empty train into the city was SRO today.

I thought you said you were just looking at it.

Wonder if Flip is at the Carnegie Deli closing, seems like his kind of place.

I'm old and tired, i barley make the two blocks from the train Penn Station to the office.
Although this morning I stopped twice, once at B & H photo for a 10 foot toslink (digital fiber optic
cable) for the new TV to the older Denon 483 that is in the living room,  it's wired for surround sound.
and some combnation egg drop/wonton soup, to have as lunch.

As Travellin Dave says:  On with the day.

1st up - get an inspection sticker on the Wardens car so I can renew the plates.  What a ripoff bullshit deal those inspections are.

2nd - buy some champagne for New Years

3rd - take care of plate renewal on her car

4th - lunch with the Warden

5th - take a nap

And next - WTF Knows but hopefully warm enough for a cigar.

Item 2 Vueve Cliquot Ponsardin Orange label, unless you have deeper pockets,
then get the VCP Le Grand Dame.

Yes, it was.

Damn, I almost wasted  $2.50.

I tried that diet for a while but it wasn't working.

Ah yes, the infamous "See Food" diet!

You're too good for Asti Spumante?

let's see, so far you have me buying cigars at the sis, lining up for the next to last
day at the Carnegie deli, don't worry we have several Harold's deli in NJ, and they have a free pickle bar
with lunch & dinner. but no one is confirming or nay-saying my champagne choices.

i like a good M&R Asti, but my sisters have been brain washed, by our hairstylist,
cousin through marraige, he swears by Verdi - not Asti, but Italian wine flavored Colt 45.
the stuff is swill, I can't drink it, last Christmas Eve, one brother came with, Andre Pink champagne.
my youngest brother has supplied us with LR Cristal, and Opus One.  so I can't complain too
much.

Morning Cigar Summary

Uncle Lee's for $37.50/box but we don't know where. .   Perhaps Tony will unveil that secret when he wakes up, unless he falls through the floor again.

5 Vegas A at the FU

Mashing at Famous but pretty Meh all the way except MF #4's (Lancero) @ 5/$34 is pretty decent these days.   They also have EPC Dona Elenas @ 10/$59 but I have no idea if that is a good deal or not.

Flip Day at the Sister

Uncle Lees are CI's daily deal, morning folks

I believe that was TXDave's attempt at humor.

Ahh, difficult to detect at times

Difficult to confirm or besmirch what one hasn't drunk.  I've had VC, but never the marques you mentioned. I dunno, I think even cheap Champagne is quite drinkable, so long as it's actually Champagne and it's Brut.

Who here has tried and really likes the Uncle Lee?
