That looks like a great selection. Severely lacking in fresh chili options here. We're lucky if we can find jalapeños.Originally Posted by geoffbot

Meat stuffed with meat wrapped in meat.
Yesterday was our quarterly meat day. 6-10 friends meet up, drink, cook, cigars, watches, etc.
You look pretty mean, Wayne!

Must be the angle. Wife says I look friendlier with a full beard, but she doesn't like that it makes my face look fatter (her words).
I just shaved it back to the chin pubes a few weeks ago. Might have to go back to the full for winter.
The gent saying we're number one bought my Stowa LE flieger. I helped him buy his first watch, a GMT Hamilton, earlier this year. I think he's hooked.

About 75% alcohol. That is, 150 proof. We made it from grappa distilled from a second wine (marc) back when I was winemaking. A friend built a very well designed medical grade still that could deliver 93% alcohol, and we were very careful to section out the heads and tales to keep the results quite clean. Then I would separately extract flavors from homegrown and collected herbs, and blend them for good flavor. Interestingly, even when "watering down" with other root extractions using 40% vodka, I still sometimes had trouble with the plant oils clouding the blend (it would "louche" very easily, in other words.)
Too many watches, not enough wrists.
93% would kill you wouldn't it?!

If you drank a full glass of it all at once, sure. The big problem would be the searing in your throat. But by little sips, though, it was rather smooth. generally, however, I stick to fermented "adult" beverages. I love a good single-malt but my body reminds me otherwise the next day, sometimes. So for the most part I stick to wine and beer. I enjoyed making those herbal blends, though.

Actually yeah I can drink 60% scotch no problem. 93% is just... boozier.

A GMT Hamilton(Conservation) was the watch that started it all for me as well. I have since given it to my brother, but sometimes I wish I kept it.
They are nice watches. At least you can borrow it from your brother.
My friend's isn't the Conservation, but he loves it.
