FAN: Sauced


So we went out with neighbors tonight. Three couples. The six of us have seven kids combined. Yup, the other couples have three each. They need to go out more than we do! We're actually to the point where we do go out more often these days. I had a nice rare filet tonight. Yum. Wasn't even done mooing. After dinner we had the group back to our place where we used the bar and had dessert. Mrs. Fan made a nice carrot cake. The men folk retired to the game room and cracked open a nice bottle of Drambuie. I've never had it before, but they are marketing it rather heavily on The Howard Stern Show. It's also appearing in ads in some of the magazines I read. I decided to try it. We had it with Ginger Ale and an orange slice. Got the recipe off of their website. It's good. Only three of us were dinking it and there isn't much left. I'm not used to drinking that much anymore and I had a few beers with dinner. I might have to add it as a bar staple as it was pretty good. I almost opened a bottle of Remy Martin which The Dog turned me on to over 10 years ago but I decided to save it until he goes North again....or until I go South again. Either way, I'll drink it with him. Drinking really isn't about the drink, it's about the company.

I thinks Remy Martin would be an excellent choice to sip during today's game...

Considering Remy Martin was the drink of choice for Ray Lewis and his boys the night they stabbed those hairdressers from Ohio to death.

Would only be fitting for us to have some Remy on the night justice is finally served!

Drambuie and Scotch make one of my Dad's and Uncle Ted's favorite drinks - a rusty nail. Never tried it myself. Paul's been introducing me to single malt scotches over the years. Would hate to mix that with anything but an occasional ice cube.
