So much better to read about than have to participate in one of those 'I-know-I'm-gonna-hate-what-I-see-when-I-look-at-the-clock' things. ...Good story.<br /><br />Thomas, I adore Rob Roys. But I've never tried five in a row.<br /><br />Harvey Wallbangers are more my thing, but most of the bars won't stock the Galliano. And a screwdriver is just too basic, so I bypass them.

So it's like getting drunk on toothpaste only without the decay-preventing dentifrice.<br /><br />I was never a martini drinker, but a Manhattan addict. I swore off of them but for the occasional extremely special occasion. They always led to putting parts of my body in interesting places. I'd just pray it wasn't my pituitary gland.<br /><br />You and Amy know how to have fun and love each other. Such a gift. And there's nothing I like better than a post from the netherworld of three in the morning. Been a long time since I saw that on my clock. Sadly.<br /><br />I love you<br /><br />Your HoseMasterRon Washamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386836101202976147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-47368304501961743892010-06-02T20:35:16.106-07:002010-06-02T20:35:16.106-07:00Okay yeah, that's right up there with sausage ...Okay yeah, that's right up there with sausage gravy....shudder.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-21012474338873175232010-06-02T20:32:34.453-07:002010-06-02T20:32:34.453-07:00A stinger is brandy and white creme de menthe.

I don't think Bear will make it through the summer. My sadness is eased knowing I will see you in July and August. We should do a theme for Jeremy's birthday weekend. I totally mis en place now. Either way, we need to go big with the food. Or at least what is available to us. I discovered a duck breast recipe with lavender and wild honey. <br /> We must bring Bandol Rose with us, right? Garlic, olives, and herbs.

He asked had I ever heard of a Rob Roy? <br /><br />Of course I hadn't, but five Rob Roys later I heard angels sing and then I blacked out.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819829113979242722.post-29019755029156862642010-06-02T12:33:54.278-07:002010-06-02T12:33:54.278-07:00Thomas,
