Sitting by the fire, reading the Leverguns Forum, listening to the Gospel of John and sipping some good whiskey.

Eating Chili and Cornbread, thankful for the roof over our heads! Let the cold wind blow.

Its been far too long since I have had the opportunity to sit around a fire with good friends and good conversation. I think the last time was near Prescott Arizona with Rob Leahy and Ed Head.

The wife and I crossed the border from Maine into New Hampshire to do a little tax free food shopping. Stock up for at least 3 weeks worth. Snow and freezing rain moving into southern Maine this late afternoon. I found some specials on some Maine seafood! I pick up some Haddock, fresh Maine Coho Salmon. Grey Sole. fresh Squid for my homemade calamary. I found some big Quahog chowder clams for a chowder. I guess I'll be stuck inside with the Mrs. while she's doing some cooking! Good food and good company! Nothing better on a cold snowy week!

That seafood sounds great. My wife HATES seafood. Makes her gag and turn about the color of a piece of rotten celery. I love seafood. Must be something genetic about tastebuds.

I think it's instilled in you during your youth! By the age of 13 my favorite food was lobsters and crab's! My uncle's were clam diggers, so we always had fresh clams and assorted seafood. I was eating raw clams by the age of 12. We had a old baymen in the naeborhood that sold smoked eel. That stuff was tasty! My wife loves seafood as long as its cooked.

My wife grew up on the Pacific Coast. Her Older Brother has told me that she always hated seafood. The rest of the family loved it.
My Dad, brothers and sister all love seafood like I do. My Mom only eat fish if it is deep fried after dipping in an egg and milk mixture and coated with cornmeal. No other way, and nothing but fish. My daughter is like me. She loves everything seafood except raw oysters. The taste is too strong and the texture is a bit too slimy and chewy for us. Oyster stew is good. We like calamari.

That's like asking what the best car is ... or who is better, blondes or redheads? Dangerous questions my friend! :D

Personally I like TX blended whiskey .. I like Glenlivet Scotch whiskey (the 14 year old stuff) ... Pike Creek Canadian whiskey .. Rowen's Creek Bourbon ... and my sister sent me a sampler for Christmas, Bob Dylan's line Heavens Door .. had 3 bottles in it ... Double Barrel Whiskey, Tennessee Bourbon and Straight Rye Whiskey. To me the Rye was THE BEST!

Rye whisky is usually good. Irish Whisky such as Bushmill's or Tullamore Dew, or Jameson is good. Glenlivet is good. Johnny Walker is good.

Sipping on a small quantity of whisky (it is properly spelled either with or without the letter e) is enjoyable and a fine thing to me. It took me over a year to finish off the last fifth that I opened.
