Orc, wine angel? Well, goodness, I think I'll have a nice deep red Zinfandel (from Amador County, CA, of course), and, we'll have to have something special for the sixth anniversary...something that goes well with that wine... I'll have to think on that one...

I have a great dip recipe with Blue Cheese and Smokehouse Almonds (I think the rest of the ingredients are plain yogurt, mayo, black pepper and Worcestershire); you dip celery or Triscuits in it and it's just heaven! I'll post the recipe when I get home.:D

LP,
Thanks for the treats and hide the chocolate from the ORC, at least until later??



MOFF!
Great news!

CVC, some onion rings and three Cat Nip Teas?
I'll check the couch for the remote!

DONE!

C&S, that's the beauty of no cover charge-they let everyone in!

A wine angel?

Some swanky eateries thought this one up-

Think of an elevator shaft that is refridgerated with bottles of wine stacked along the sides-it's also see through-and put in a place to wow the customers. Now, replace the elevator cab with a woman who has a remote contol that's connected to a rope and a harness she wears. It lets her go up and down inside to grab the bottles.:rolleyes:

The waiter gives her an order and she spends the evening going up and down
grabbing booze from the inside. Never saw one except on T.V. and thought the rc would look good in spandex and a climbing harness?:rolleyes::o

I'm Done!

PM,
Thanks for the contribution and looking forward to the recipe! Another round?

DONE!

If it's funny, toss it out....

Did I goof and mean "server"?

Malbec is at the top of the wine room-did you pick that just to see the harness squeeze the life out of the ORC?:D

Done?

I had one of those dopey talk shows on and they compared a small chocolate rabbit - it had something like 1300 calories - to how many Peeps had the same 'nutritional value".

It looke like you could eat a whole basket of Peeps to get the same calories?
It looked like 50-60!:D

Happy Six year anniversary!

It a party-and what Thursday isn't!


According to my calendar, today is Wednesday, April 8th. Are we starting early?

Pinot's Mom
04-08-2009, 05:27 PM
Yes, it seems we are starting early - I think it's Orc's fault. He wanted to get into the wine!!

OK - here's the promised recipe - now that I'm home and not at "work"!! :)

BLUE DIAMOND SMOKEHOUSE DIP (for those unfamiliar, Blue Diamond manufactures "Smokehouse Almonds" and, yes, in this case the brand makes a difference!!

Ingredients:
3oz Smokehouse Almonds
1 Cup Mayonnaise
1 Cup Plain yogurt
1 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar (not Worcestershire, as I originally thought)
1/4 Tsp. Black Pepper (fresh ground if available)
1/4 lb. Bleu-veined cheese (softened)

1) Food processor: finely chop almonds
2) Bowl: combine Mayo, Yogurt, Balsamic Vinegar, Black Pepper, Cheese and Almonds. Mix well and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
3) Serve with raw vegetables (I like celery and triscuits personally)

This stuff is absolute gold! Everyone loves it! Enjoy!!

Orc - stop eating the Peeps - you're sticking to everything!! :)

Pinot's Mom
04-08-2009, 05:28 PM
... and yes, Richard, another round would be nice, thanks! :D

But it is Thursday already in Australia, so we usually open on Wednesdays.

Sorry to be a stickler, but when Richard opened the bar it was still Wednesday down under. Now it is tomorrow over there.

Peep, Peep, Peep time!
I just love Easter.......and so does my dentist!!

Richard, what is the drink of the sixth anniversary?

Hallmark says the sixth anniversary is either
candy or iron. Hmm, either sweeten people up or hit 'em over the head? Maybe it isn't that kind of iron.........don't know.

The dip sounds delicious............

RICHARD

So, is Orc rusting in a corner somewhere after the mega blast? It probably didn't take all the peep and cadbury egg residue off - piglet!:p Maybe he's wearing an easter basket as a hat!

I'm having a "donut pillow burning party" today. I don't have to use it any longer (but might just keep it for posterity). I'll have a totally different outlook on bridal toule since that awful day.

I'll take a bloody mary, heavy on the mary, short on the bloody, thank you very much!!! The the party begin!!

It's me and Moo out for a walkie. WOOHOO!!!

:cool:Yup Orc is over in the corner drying off & trying to look cool with the Easter Basket on his head..:p Nope he is not rusting yet.. He still has too much of the Cadbury Egg Cream on him & in his joints.. At least he is behaving for now..:D

...or even posterior? I'm glad you don't need it any more!

It's yucky out again. It has been lousy 8 of 10 days so far this April. I think a hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps and garnished with a Peep would taste really good!

Pinot's Mom
04-10-2009, 02:55 PM
Well, Happy Anniversary all! I don't know if I'll be on much this weekend with the goings on, so - HAPPY EASTER! ...and have a round on me! You, too, Orc!

Oh yes, this IS Gini's favourite time of year. I was talking to some people at work and would you believe they've never heard of Easter Peeps??? I'm inclined to buy some and take them in to work to show them the ooey, gooey goodness!!! :D

Happy 6th year anniversary everyone! Gee, have I been coming here for 6 years already?? Time flies when you're having phun!!! Oh the memories...... let's see there was the trip in the canyon, the beach partee, the trip around the world and who can forget Gini and Laurie playing jacks!!! :D:D

Oh...and Richard dressed up as Santa....we all stood in line for that one!!

What a trip it's been and I that Thursday's will be around forever. Sorry I've been absent but if I stop this trip I'm on, I'll never get started again.

Richard....one big tall icy cold beer please and keep 'em coming. No sweets for me but I would LOVE anything with cheese.....lots and lots of gooey cheese. :love::love:

MM,

SO you 'do nut' feel badly.....

And remember that buring 'donuts' cause more greenhouse gases!

Congrats to six years of Thursdays! RICHARD, I'd like a BIG cherry slushie (too bad we don't have the ceement mixer anymore!) and some of those sugary peeps. I'll go over and try to cheer up Orc, he does look silly with that Easter basket on his head.

I think the mixer may be in the garden shed......We DO NEED a qualified operator, someone with heavy machinery experience to run it!

Until then, I'll craft some hand made cherry slushie!

RICHARD, maybe with my eons of work on the golf course with heavy machinery, I can run the slushie concession here at the bar! With Orc loading it up, I could make a lot of slushies. BTW, are the guys from the construction company still looking for it??
