=======================
Bonsoir Michael!

->  HN> They have a good thai place
->  HN> in Petaluma as well as the 
->  HN> good BBQ place...(if you don't
->  HN> count the sauces).
-> 
-> If they have cattle and oak, they can have good BBQ.
-> As it turns out, we were there just under 4 hours
-> and had Mexican food at the wake thingy (I hung back
-> and missed the chicken enchiladas and just had rice
-> and beans and about 1/8 of a cheese enchilada; luckily
-> I found some ground chorizo that was meant for tacos,
-> though they were running out of tortillas, so that went
-> nicely with the rice and beans). Drank to excess on
-> something called Landing Place Chardonnay.
->
Too bad you got in too late for 
the first run at the buffet. Also
too bad that you were there such 
a short time...I saw the obit in
Flyer talk...and also a photo of 
you in the comments section! Looked
like Alaska maybe.
 
->  HN> It IS Knob Creek rebranded. One of 
->  HN> the guys I paint with was just down 
->  HN> there again last week and talked with
->  HN> the "backroom" guy who orders it. Whether
->  HN> it's a "second" or not I don't know

-> The French have a system whereby an estate is entitled to
-> sell only so much of its brand; surplus gets "declassified"
-> to a cheaper appellation; this can happen successive times,
-> so that if a maker is entitled to make 1000 bottles of Clos
-> de Beze but the harvest comes in really big and there's 2000
-> bottles' worth of wine, that extra can be sold as Chambertin,
-> except if that appellation's allotment is exceeded, it can
-> be further demoted to Bourgogne. I'm sure that Beam isn't
-> going to cannibalize itself for no reason, and if it sells
-> its extra Knob on the cheap, the stuff that gets bottled for
-> Costco isn't going to be the shall we say tete de cuvee.
->
Don't know what the arrangement
is, could be that Costco is 
buying a slot of "time" of
the distillery's output. 
In any case the stuff comes
from Knob Creek, and next 
chance I get I'm gonna 
buy a bottle of it.
 
->  HN> can't afford Coronado! 
->  HN> Isn't Lilli from Sand D?
-> 
-> Sort of equidistant between Carlsbad and San Diego, if I do
-> not mistake.
->
Dunno where Carlsbad is...but 
it probably reduces the likelihood
of us getting to see her even if
she is "in town". Ah well, it was
worth a shot!
-> --
-> 
->  -> Yep, and you need a horizontal toaster!
->  HN> Got one...it's called "the oven"! (grin)
-> 
-> I have a hard time with the oven in this context.
-> Unless I'm really careful, I get black spots and
-> unbrown spots.
->
When I first started making my
own cinnamon toast, that's all
we had for a toaster, so it's
quite familiar to me.

->  HN> the rules and the numbers
->  HN> are still high...I cheat and
->  HN> eat "naughty things" and 
->  HN> the next day I have "good"
->  HN> numbers...go figure!!
-> 
-> It's not an exact science, and all the stabbing

-> nude-o-scopes at the airport.
->
Spent about an hour with the 
Clinical Pharmacist today
discussing just that. will
be upping my dosage to 
1gram morning and same
at night. We'll see where
that takes me.
 
->  ->       Title: Grandmother's Creamy Rice Pudding
->  HN> Oh yeah...THAT's really gonna help me!!(grin)
-> 
-> Use Splenda or somesuch. Anyhow, that stuff is fun
-> to read, whether you can eat it or not.
->
Yep, fun to read, fun to eat
but OH so bad for my numbers!
Splenda might help a bit though!
 
-> ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01
