dem beats

I used to love siraz and merlot. I've become a fan of cabs just recently. Have you tried the Gnarley Head wines? They sell them at costco even. I thought they were pretty good for the price actually. Suprised me.

lol ok fair enough. I'll just stick with my boxed space bag sangria.

I meant a recomendation for a good noir so I could compair VS the stuff I've been swilling.

plz and THX

A Carmenere is cheaper, as approachable, and not bad. I have a major love hate relationship with Pinot's. I HATE the fact that anything under $30 tastes like shit and I LOVE a good one. I flat out just don't buy them anymore, but they are regularly a grape we try to get down in the $20's for our wine tasting get togethers and they always fail. Can you recomend a really good tasting one? I will check our carmenere too

I brought my tuner to work today so I could read the codes. It's the most expensive code tool I've ever seen.

About my comment on cheep pingnot noir.... I like to bring that for people who "don't like red wine". I can't stand drinking a white with red meat. I can also drink it like water so it gets me drunk.

check engine light and a new fluttering sound when under load on the expy

I always sear steaks with bacon fat actually.

LOLERSKATES! I feel for you man.

that's my over opinionated .02

grill is the easiest place with the least clean up. Get it insanely hot. Sear them there. If you can't controll the heat well you could move them to the oven to finish them. I do a lot of pan searing for steaks, but it's only because I have been too lazy to start the BGE, and I have been trying to make pan gravey after every steak I make for practice. I can't do that from the grill. Find out the wine you had at thanksgiving and purchase that. Then you can be sure it will be something you enjoy. Do you know if she likes reds? If not you may want to buy some white (with steak?? YUK!! but there is no accounting for others tastes). If you want to open her up to a red I really recomend A pigno noir. Le Gran Noir is a great one. It's cheep, tastey for the price, and really really low cost. It has a twisty top, it's odd to see it, but it's good. I hate green beans. Steam or blanch quickly, toss with some dried cranberries and almonds. It's simple and elegant for the ladies. You can ice the beans if you want it cold too. I can't eat green beans hot, it's a weakness for me. If you want to be baller tastic serve it with a baby greens salad opener, or a wedge salad. I have no idea why, but when I see a wedge salad I just think player tastic. Any ideas for your desert.

my thermometer shows it's at about 70 degrees even when it's below zero.

I have left tongs across the vent at the top of the BGE and had them glowing. On the grate I've never seen that glowing so I'm not sure but it's got to 1000 or better.

About the surface of the sun.

While I love the length the barrel smokers offer (great for packer briskets), a BGE XL is definitely in my future; especially with a good controller and a few accessories I'm too lazy to look so Sean, which controller did you get again? Stoker? Guru? Also, do they make one that can get up to 500F? (not a requirement, just curious) Sean got the rock. I probably will ape that decision myself.

Working in the furnitue/mattress industry was brutal on slow days.

Nothing going on today J?

rocket propelled grenades. Or role playing games too I suppose. "If you roll 7 or better...."

Close enough for RPG's.

I have 5 more bottles of champ waiting for me at home! 2 decent bottles and 3 cheepers for mimosa's.

everyone all worn out from tryptophan and relatives?
