mm, porto

this would be an interesting post to go into more detail. pictures?

Pounding on hot metal is a lot of fun; cold metal work is fun too. I used to do armoring as a hobby, but I was destroying my hands pounding and planishing - and the fighting is the important part to me. So I have stopped most of the metalwork to spare the hands as much as possible.

Now, with the company and my new home (only an acre, but still amazing as to how much work it takes) I go to few events. I still attend weekly fighting practice, though.

Did you fight? What kingdom are you in?

Expensive reds may take decades to stop improving. "Cheap reds" usually peak within a few years of bottling.
Enjoy!

... except for many Ports... they tend to just keep getting better and better. :)

Thanks, I'd love to. The avo with ceviche sounds delish.
How about I use the local fresh fish, shrimp, crab and make bouilllabaisse with garlic rouille in return?
With some icy cold margaritas? (You have saffron or should I pack some?)

I only bought and put away reds. (Just personal taste;^)

Migod... who woulda thought. We are taking objectivism by melee... one piece of mail at a time.

(If ya have to ask, you'll never know...)

Problem was, for me, it got too expensive. Still do some illumination, and (of course) pound on hot steel... but haven't been to an event in years; not even sure if I have any garb or not...

And yes... believe it or not... there are more objectivist and conservative SCAdians than one would suspect...

The shock was to read the contorted gymnastics being applied to the English language by the school apologist. I say, bear witness here, the implosion of Mexican Culture, and the voices of alarm is it's vanguard. This intelligentsia has 'learned' that morality can be eaten. "Morality" is not an act of thought anymore, and of "racism" connecting race with intelligence, but is all now an act of eating. Eating is now a moral and racism issue, There is moral eating and immoral eating. And this vanguard is here to stop the digestion of Mexican culture and Mexican Morality. 'Mexican food is the soul, body and mind of Mexico so don't eat us you cannibals'. 'We are not aliens but jumpin beans. We are all jumpin beans really'. This particular vanguard is what 'moral cannibals of inferiority' look, speak, and sound like, and what happens when you subvert your mind, reason and philosophy. Your whole "Philosophy of Life" gone ... down the digestive tract. Of course you would be left screaming. But in a sense, they are right, they too bear witness- to the afterglow of what was once Mexican Culture. They know what has taken its place ... "WESTERN CIVILIZATION", but only implicitly, and they hate every moment of it. They find it hard to swallow but swallow they do! All that they once held dear is only but a meal or two, a dish or two, a snack or two. A Philosophy of ingredients. Oh, to have a Philosophy, and to eat it too. But Western Civilization will not be consumed, it sticks in the throat awhile. It will not go down. It sticks in the mind, an idea. It is indestructible, indigestible. Reason Absolute and Western Civilization..

C'mon, guys and gals... It's US Santa Cruz!

That kind of stupidity is required on campus and Resistance Is Futile!

Try the reds. Some may be palatable by now.
Put the whites on your salads.

"Soylent Green...."

sigh. it's not like they were frying up Chewbaccas nor were they saying anything like what Leia said to Chewie, the first time she saw him

I like you

you should come visit me. fish (whatever is local and fresh) Vera Cruz (poached in white wine, garlic, green olives, herbs, tomatoes and onions) stuffed papa rellenos, avocados stuffed with shrimp ceviche salad...yum

no. can you give more context?

I couldn't even have fun with a Star Trek: TNG food replicator around here without having people attempt to take me seriously instead of trying to be a wise guy.

When most geeks think of a run for the border, they're not thinking of politics. They probably wore IDICs to the event and didn't give a thought to politics.

I think I have some in the basement from the early 90s but no guarantees on how it has aged. (Saving the magnum of Groth cab for the first dinner in the real Gulch.)

It will be a jolly dinner!

Jan, brings only the finest 'cheap wine'

Sure! How about a BYO place for wine?
