” good Irish boiled steak...”
You mean beef stew? :-)
.
lol no, saw or heard a comedian once say he came from an Irish family and while everyone was out grilling steaks and burgers his mom would bring out a big pot, put it on the grill and boil their steaks and burgers :)
Heh! ;-)
I’ve heard of boiling bagels, but never hamburgers.
That could work, the meat just wouldn’t have a grilled flavor unless she poured liquid hickory flavor on it later.
The next line of the jingle “what’s the price? say thirty twice”. :-)
Sorry, can’t get the URL to come up... Go to Google images https://images.google.com/?client=safari&channel=mac_bm and type in ‘dry riesling’ Maybe you’ll be able to identify the label and be able to buy some more. I know what it’s like to have tasted and loved a wine, then not be able to remember its name! A few years ago my wife went to a convention in SF where she was put up in a fancy hotel and wined and dined for a week. When she came home, she raved about the champagnes they served but couldn’t remember the names at all.
Back when we were still friendly with the Lebanese, lol, red and gold.
I remember thirty twice. Older maybe.
What’s the word? Thunderbird.
What’s the price? Forty twice.
Try Trader Joe’s Argentina and Chilean wines.
Panilonco Carmenere, @$3.99/bottle is reliable.
Peter Vella Delicious Red. $14 for 3 liters. A small price to pay to keep the wife happy for 2 weeks.
Try Moscato (Barefoot winery California.) Pink Catawba is very good. (St. James or Stonehill, both Missouri wineries.) Sweet, fruity. They also have Concord Wines.
I think the corks are made of plastic.
Where and when I got into Tbird, Boone’s Farm was not around and Mad Dog cost more. Mad Dog was the venerable tradition of the old commercial fishermen who passed out in the park.
Boon’s Farm existed but this was a pretty isolated area and back then the Sheriff really was the local Boss. There was no Federal presence at all and the State was limited to a highway patrol station at the west end of town. When I was in SF in 67 I discovered Boone’s Farm. I found I preferred Tbird. I guess it’s what you get used to. I tried some Tbird a couple of years ago just for old times and discovered it really is BAD. That impression is probably helped because I haven’t drunk as much in the last 30 years as I probably did in any 6 months period back then.
HAH! I got you beat by right at a year.
In that case:
I seldom like to associate with old people such as your self, you just wouldn’t understand us young folks!
In your case, I will make an exception, cuz you seem like a pretty cool old man :)

I reckon it was downright awful.
Some time ago my kid brought some ratty wine (maybe boons) up to our cabin and I had a taste.
I swear it had Vicks 44 in it. A sip was all I needed. I didn’t remember it being that bad, as in they changed the formula or I grew taste buds over the years.
I forgot another horrible one: Manashevitz (I’m sure my spelling is WAY off here)
That was kind of premium though, every once in awhile you’d see someone had brought that to a party. Nasty.
Thanks
