My sister had some Pete’s Wicked Strawberry Blonde Ale at a party that I accidentally drank and I liked it – although I don’t like beer usually so that may be why.
I actually saw Amy Winehouse live in Philly last year and I’m so glad I did because she will definitely be dead soon. Who did I wish I saw ? Nirvana of course

Rusty, I do envy you – LZ in PIT in 73.

Not one of my favorite years – 1973.

Recommended: Australian Pink Floyd – awesome & dead on.

My wife uses our George Foreman for everything from salmon steaks to grilled cheese sandwiches. Very handy.

A local brewpub had a “Watermelon Ale” last summer that I included on a paddle sampler. It was not good. The watermelon, I mean. The paddle sampler is a high point of human achievement.

I wish I had seen the Pixies in their original incarnation. I had no interest in attending the recent reunion tour. Similarly, I never saw Frank Zappa, but am not compelled by the Dweezil or Ike Willis-led groups.

On an odd note, I wish I had seen the over-the-top cabaret singer Bobby Short. There’s an American original for you.

I would also love to be able to go back in time and see Billy Joel’s Attila.

Also, if a Gobbler is anywhere in the “Thanksgiving-dinner-on-a-bun” category, that is one of my Holy Grail sandwiches, right up there with a good tuna melt, a good chicken shawerma, and the Chacarero.

Tiff,
I have something in the kitchen that’s used to froth milk (I think) and it could easily be mistaken for a sex toy. It’s hardly ever used – as a milk frother, I mean.

Plus we have a giant red vibrator in the kitchen drawer. My mother-in-law found it in the living room and the best my wife could come up with was, “it’s a rolling pin.” Why does it buzz like that? “To work the air bubbles out of the dough.”
