Never had either. Will have to try. I've generally loved any Polish vodkas I've tried. A friend of mine just returned from Russia with a gift for me, my favorite vodka, Zelyonana Marka. It's in the freezer waiting...

Been playing with Rye, Orange Bitters and Apple Brandy at home.

My favorite eggplant parmesan: Breadcrumbing/frying the eggplant, covering with tomato sauce, and then OVERCOOKING the hell out of it in the oven. Add cheese. Bake for ten more minutes. Heaven. And for nostalgia's sake: Put canned chili in a pot (Cattle Drive works best). Add mustard...

Precisely. After living in Russia, the idea of not freezing vodka just sounds wrong to me. Especially with Russian vodka that might taste less distilled than say, Grey Goose. Then again, I only use vodka for shots... maybe it ain't the best for mixology. Strangely, though, I'd never...

I've been pretty much trying my darndest not to collect anything. In the last two years, I've moved three times, and I've really begun to appreciate what it must be like to not own a bunch of stuff. Still, I have upwards toward 10 hats and almost that many jackets at this point. I try not to...

A Pacific @Happy Hour. Basically cognac and curacao, and way too much of the latter. You know there's a problem when a cognac drink is still bright blue.

Recommendation for beginners... for whiskey, I think you really have to try all the kinds. There is something to be said for learning to appreciate every kind, but everyone has preferences. For instance, I can't stand Irish Whiskey. Both Bushmill's and Jameson taste awful to me. But that's my...

How does you, Doran? I might have to pick your brain soon, now that I'm a Bay Area resident.

Wow, 687 members!?? (I'm the 687th: Zachary Mann)

Unfortunately, the story is quite tame. That's the only reason I won't tell it.

I think it's mostly the schnauze, but I'll take it where I can get it. Too bad I'm missing the chin (with or without scar). How do you think the Leisure Time will take to the rain? Living in the city, I don't see myself wearing that wide a brim for another reason.

Until this thread, I thought Akubras were all Cowboy-type hats. Drover-type? This is my Akubra Leisure Time, which was a gift/souvenir from Australia once upon a time, and rarely gets to leave my closet. Still, I like it.

I really can't stand these faux-doras. I guess there is something to be said for hats coming back into style in general, regardless of how it's done. And I'm not usually the person to rain down hate on current styles, because I dress pretty modernly myself. But there's something about...

The shirt is more inspired by Elliott Gould from M*A*S*H, but I support the idea.

Long live this thread!
