I've had a few. The ones I remember were the '86 which I drank in 2007 and it was spectacular. I also remember trying the '93 grange in 2007 which I was underwhelmed by, but I had been on a winery tour through SA and was getting over drinking red wine. A 20 year old Bin 707 is probably the best Penfolds wine I've had along with the '86 grange.

Had a 2010 Henschke hill of grace in 2020 which wads nice but not what I expected for the price. Also opened a 1979 Grange that night which I tipped down the sink as it had gone bad.

Bang for buck, the sweet spot is in the $50-$150 range and you'll get much better wines than Penfolds produce in that price range.

Couldn't you use it as vinegar?

Unfortunately it doesn't turn into a pleasant vinegar.

Lol, me too.

Heights never bothered me until I got into my mid 20's, now I can't stand them. The Mrs loves doing suspended tree walks and things like that. I do it but am scared even though I know I'm safe.

Crazy, Hollywood shit there. **** whoever put the dog there though.


In other news, I've now joined the legion of smoker owners around here as of my birthday last week. Don't expect juicy BBQ photos anytime soon.

I will join you one of these days. I’ve got a Weber Q and nothing else. It’s better than grilling on your stovetop definitely, but it’s still the same kind of idea.

A smoker would be amazing. Just the years of fun with experiments would be amazing. Enjoy

Impatient drivers who approach T intersections too fast, or edge forward into intersections are their own worst enemies.

Such behaviour in fact lengthens their travelling time because the drivers proceeding down the main road slow down because they are not confident that the impatient driver will not drive out of the side street in front of them.

You know I'm right.

 

[schmuttt]

wow, what a legend

That’s fake.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

That’s fake.

You always ruin good things.

The weirdest thing happened yesterday morning. I was about to logon for work, and there was some clown banging on the door and freaking out the cats. So I answer it and it is some delivery guy with a massive hamper which seemed a bit weird. I open it up and its from the Melbourne Football Club and it is HUGE. There must be about 20 things in there. Box of chocolates, Christmas cake, shortbread, two types of popcorn - one is salted caramel and the other is I forget - tea, choc covered coffee beans, choc covered freeze dried rasberries, some kind of posh looking jam, some byron bay biscuits, packet of dates with a walnut stuffed in each, some peanut thing, a couple of packets of that pana chocolate - one mint and the other that super dark 80 percent cacao stuff. I have literally no idea how we are going to eat this stuff.

I'm guessing this is a gift for being a player sponsor? Though they've never done it before and didn't have a card explaining anything particular, just a thanks for your support Go Dees type of job.

Your #demonspirit must be really noticeable!

First smoking escapade was a success, did a rump cap as a first run. Getting the temp is fiddly, but turned out well. Was lazy and seared it off in the pan to crisp up the fat at the end

With the smoker you bought I usually do extra coals then close a vent or two to bring the temp back down. That usually maintains the heat for a while. Then I just warm up more briquettes in a chimney lighter as needed.
