Swing by anytime tomorrow.
I'm getting some minor "surgery" done in the morning.
May not even be able to have wine now that I think about it.

Good luck with the surgery.
Why should it interfere with wine consumption?

Best wishes. I’ll save a couple for you.
It requires removing some gum tissue that's grown and become irritating. They'll cut it, stitch it and probably recommend antibiotics and an over the counter pain killer. My best guess at least. Maybe I'll buy some celebratory kombucha on the way home...
Nothing a few shots of vinegar can’t disinfect I’m sure.
My preference would be XO cognac. A stylish disinfectant. And the rest of the bottle would be to hand.
A beverage from the Buxton Brewery: Battle Horse Double Black IPA.

The life of fermenting Kombucha
I forgot to burp these bottles (release the carbonation by opening it a bit off and on when its bottled).
I harvested them last batch, and added Raspberry to it. Didn't leave it in so didn't thought it would carbonate so strongly. I am new with this 2F (2nd fermentation & adding things) so...
It had put up a EXTREMELY good carbonation over 10-12 days.
I'm glad I could close the bottles before all of it didn't flowed out of the pressure the carbonation had built up.
Have to clean my kitchen more tomorrow. Just took the roof immediately.
It sprayed EVERYWHERE.
It tasted totally awesome though, SO worth it.

I'd settle for a massive plate of pasta in a blue cheese creme sauce. Lots of garlic. Lots of fresh cracked pepper. Chili flakes. Had a sudden craving despite my appetite having been suppressed for a few days now due to our awful weather.
For me, when serving pasta with a blue cheese sauce (melted blue cheese, double cream), the garlic, cracked black pepper, and chilli are added to the steamed spinach or chard or kale (which have been steamed but sautéed in butter - along with the aforementioned diced garlic, cracked pepper and chilli). That is an excellent accompaniment to pasta and blue cheese sauce.
Yes, alfredo with added spinach and or asparagus is a favorite of mine. With cheese heavy sauces, alfredo withstanding, I add a little zested lemon at the very end and fold it in or opt for a lemon infused olive oil to finish it. I find it lightens the heaviness cheese sauces can have. Works great on a carbonara, too. It mellows out the strong flavor of the pancetta.
I have been thinking about starting a similar thread on Food and Cooking here at MacRumours.
If there is one I can't find it…
Mind you, I might be the only one posting!

What an excellent idea: Start one, and I'll happily contribute.
There is one already... I think.

I remembered @Gutwrench posting a recipe for Thai Basil Chicken. Found the thread.

It's called "The (un)official MacRumors Recipe thread," and the last post was in February. Think the forum search is buggered. Kept trying to query something last week and it wouldn't find the threads despite it being in the list in the next tab.
