...yeah normally I'm one of those who couldn't tell a 10$ bottle of wine from a 100$ bottle of wine even of the same variety. I do prefer an Italian Montepulciano from the Abruzzo region with pasta (the perfect wine for Pasta) but had to settle for a Merlot as the local Safeway only appeared of have Lambrusco, Chianti, and Pinot Grigo (and you never serve a light white with heavy pasta) all at prices more than I could or would afford to pay.
Now when it comes to Beer, Ale, Wodka, Bourbon Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, and Scot's Whiskey, I can be a somewhat of a snob.
...well pasta sauce is a simmering. I give it about another hour for all the seasonings to do their work.
Received an alert from the transit system a short while ago for the possibility of freezing rain tomorrow morning (a day earlier than expected). Hopefully it will all be gone by the time I consider heading out for dinner and a few drinks later tomorrow.
Must be your Birthday by now. Happy Birthday *\0/*\0/*\0/*
..yeah, Still awake here. Was running some tests to help someone out. Lordy, how I love 3DL.
Summer solstice today as wel, plenty to celebrate and by coincidence am sitting next to a fridge full of cold beer to toast with, may god bless and keep you always and may your wishes all come true :)
Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated on the day after Christmas Day. It originated in the United Kingdom, and is celebrated in a number of countries that previously formed part of the British Empire..
In Britain, it was a custom for tradespeople to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year.
Happy birthday, KK.
Where do they hide the balloons?
Happy Birthday, Kyoto Kid!

Happy Birthday !!
guess it all came about after the incident with King George and the Colonials
Although the practice of the "Christmas box" is far older, dating from at least the17th century (it was mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diaries), Boxing day did not become an actual Bank Holiday until 1871. The US declared independance in 1776, so 95 years previous to the official holiday being established.
BTW December 26th is also St Stephen's day so when Wenceslas went for that stroll with his page boy, loaded with presents it was the day after Christmas.
Happy Birthday KK!
old King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen , Stephen ?
Wenceslas was a real dude?

...thank you all (don't think I ever received a B'day greeting in Welsh before, sweet).
Yeah, don't fall again! You keep that up and we'll put you in a bubble wrap suit...
Keeping mouth shut here as well...
Sounds like you're ready to wok and roll! :-P
La de da, another chilly day. A lovely 43f outside right now, looks like a run of chilly nights and cold days for a bit. I'm all stocked up on hot tea and miso soup, so it can freeze outdoors for all I care. Final pre-Christmas grocery delivery tomorrow, lots of veggies, beans, cheese and burger-making supplies. Yes, I'm making bbq cheeseburgers for Christmas dinner! But I've always been non-traditional, usually I have Chinese food but I decided to go Texan this time around. Ground beef, ground pork, buns, cheese, pickles, lettuce.. sooooo tasty.
Broke out my pepper spray and stun gun in case Satan Claws tries to get in. And just one reindeer would feed me for weeks.
...as I was blissfully asleep last night, suddenly at about 03:15, the building's alarms went off...again (this happened only a week ago just around midnight). OK get shoes on grab coat grab keys to lock the apartment and get back in the building afterwards, and hobble down five floors of stairs out into subfreezing cold. The fire department shows up and after about 20 min the alarms cease, so those of us by the SE corner entrance (the closest exit to our apartments) go back in. I get back hang up the coat take of the shoes, toss the keys back in the bowl an the nightstand, crawl back into bed and just before I fall asleep they go off again. This time I grab a a pair of jeans to pull over my pjs as my legs were still cold, go through the drill (shoes, keys, coat, lock door) and head to the stairwell when the alarm stops. Already fuming a bit, I turn to go back to the apartment, and before I can even unlock the door they start in again.
So now even less pleased, I head back to the stairwell and notice a lot of smoke in that hallway I didn't see the first time (there are fire doors that close but not lock to isolate sections of each floor). I gathered whoever burned whatever at such an ungodly hour thought by opening these doors it would help air out their flat. Well, all it did was set the alarms off again. So the firemen had to go back in again while we waited more in the cold (thankfully no freezing rain). Finally we ge the second "all clear" and I go back around to the side door as everyone is trying to cram onto the lift by the lobby. When I get there I discover the lift in that part of the building is still locked off and the fire department already had left. So I had to go to another part of he building (going through the garage) to find a lift that was working as with my sore knee and other painful joints I was not about to climb back up those five floors of stairs . By now it is after 04:00 and it took a while to get back to sleep (kept the coat, jeans with keys still in pocket, and shoes close by the bed just in case).
Didn't wake up until around 13:00.
Whoever caused this should buy me birthday dinner and drinks.
...yeah, was nice to do some real serious cooking last night. Now have Pasta sauce for three more dinners (one which will be used on the holiday).
Cheezburgers, sounds excellent. I make one using Texas BBQ sauce mixed and garlic mixed into the ground beef (grass fed 93% lean). Top it off with Bacon, Mushrooms, Carmelised Onions, and Swiss cheese on an Onion Kaiser roll with a side of skillet Fries (don't deep fry any more and they don't taste right heating them in the oven).
Birthday thoughts to KK.
I think I've seen the last of the good weather for this year. I did get my car down the driveway and made my trip uptown. But..., I forgot that the garbage transfer station is closed on Friday's now, along with Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. (our taxes not at work)
. So, I have ripe garbage in my car trunk for a while. 
Had my good fish lunch at Red Lobster, Stopped in at Sears and bought a nice pair of wool boot socks on sale to replace my holey ones. While I was out, a cold front came through and all the moisture in the air turned to heavy fog so it was interesting getting home. Now the fog has turned to rain and by morning will be ice on the trees and roads and my driveway. 
Snow is predicted for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and cold through the rest of the week. So, I think I'm shut in for a while, but I now have groceries. Yea! It's a good thing it's going to be cold or that garbage in my trunk could start to be a problem! 
...the garbage in teh trunk reminds me of this scene in Grumpy Old Men:
Morning. Hungover, is a lil bright here a bit after noon *squints* 0 Fridays to Christmas and 1 Friday until 2018.,can’t wait :0
...can I borrow that for my post on our Caturday Morning?.
A sunny 94 F here, just west of Sydney at a little after 1330, and it is not likely to reach 100. Tomorrow, (Christmas Eve, here in Australia), will only be a couple of degrees warmer, so no need to use the A/C. Christmas Day is expected to be cooler, in the eighties. Not so much a White Christmas, as a Bright Christmas.
It's interesting that we rarely hear about the weather from our Canadian members. Or are you huddled around a fire? Just kidding! I love Canada, and travelled there a lot. Your gardens, in Spring, are the most beautiful I've ever seen.
Oh, if we're talking food, for lunch I had a very nice lobster; thank you to the brave trawler men in Maine who caught it!
Damn, I'm hungry now! :-O
Yep! Bad weather has set in. A little late though. I expected ice this morning when I got up but it was continuing to rain until about 11:45 AM when it all of a sudden turned into snow. Lots of snow. Heavy gloppy snow. And the temperature is falling fast. By tonight it's expected to fall to 16F (about -8C). Snow for the next three days, then just cold, cold cold.
