Dad liked his beef cooked well done and I didn't know any better until I was about twelve. I spent a few days with my uncle and he took me to a steakhouse. I ordered mine well done and he asked me why I was ruining a good steak? I trusted him on that one and have enjoyed my beef rare, but not cold, ever since.

I found a good deal on a set of pink flamingos for the yard yesterday.

Regards.

Bob

Same here, Bob, but I didn't learn any better till I was in my thirties. We don't grill steaks at the house anymore because my Dad can't deal with me liking it at least medium rare & he will not cook it that way. Both him & my sister are "well done", & it grosses them out that I like my steak "raw".

No pink flamingos to be had here...

I went to the HEB over by the cat grooming salon (the sign says they specialize in Brazilian cats), anyway the HEB has an excellent selection of beers. There were quite a few beers that interested me, but the prices turned me off. They did have one thing on sale that I decided to get, Leinenkugel's Big Butt Doppelbock. It's Beer Time!

Leinenkugel's is owned by SAB Miller and is run to offer beers competitive with small craft beers which are becoming more popular. I like Bock beers, so decided to give the Big Butt Doppelbock a try.

Pours a clear dark brown with little head. Clean slightly fruit aroma. Malt flavors dominate and lightly hopped. Mouth feel is a bit thin and watery. ABV is 5.8%, definitely in the bock alcohol range, but not in the range for a dopple (double) bock.

A good beer, but it has the characteristics of a bock not a dopplebock. The sale price for six was $7.47, any of the Trader Joe's bock beers in my opinion are better and cost $6.49 per six everyday.

Cheers!

:cool:

Those pesky roundabouts are replacing all the 4 way stop
signs around here as well.
First you got some drivers who can't figure out "if you stop
first, you go first", at a 4 way.
Now you get the people who pull up to a roundabout and
stop regardless if anything is coming or not, then they
look to the left, right, behind, above, etc... before they
decide to drive thru the darn thing.

I say just make it a free for all. No signs at all.

Everyone could save money by only driving junkers they
didn't mind getting banged up.

Kinda' like a modern day version of Mad Max !!

Brazilian cats, classic tune! What a voice ! What a musician! What an arrangement !
Maybe the first time I drifted from C&W back in the 60's?

Call me some hard pipe carrying brothers.
Bring me some pliers and torches.
And we about to go medieval on this --------.
