Angel ,'Conviction (1)'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Huh--I've seen those, Gris, but always thought "I can't drink ONE bottle, much less FOUR!" I didn't realize it stayed good for quite so long.
I think I'm going to eventually get myself off the couch, clean out the fridge (I should've done that BEFORE vacation, oops) and then walk over to Trader Joe's or the co-op and get some beer (...I think TJ's doesn't have any cold beer).
Have a glass or two, cork it. You can drink the rest this weekend, or use it in red sauce or pot roast in the next couple of months.
I had a package of Butter Chicken paste hiding in the back of the pantry, basmati rise (DAMN, a cup makes a lot!) some frozen chicken breast under the aquavit we never drink in the freezer. SCORE, good poverty dinner!
I think I'll get a bag of cheap stir-fry veg tomorrow and make that with the leftover rice, and maybe I can get a 1/2 pound of cheap beef strips. I have sesame-ginger marinade in the fridge.

They'll stay good for at least a month, with very little noticeable change in quality. In theory, no air every gets inside the baggy, though clearly theory and reality are slightly different. And the nice thing is they very rarely last that long, because just having them there means you can convince yourself to have "just one glass" pretty much whenever. I drink a lot while cooking...

Mine certainly doesn't. I love a few of their beers, though. The dark one, especially. Something Dog?
Poverty/Pantry dinners are the best, Erin. We try to do them at least once every 2 weeks.
Well, I did go to TJ's (yay I love it being a block away) and now, since there was no cold beer, beer is chilling in my fridge and I'm drinking watermelon juice. Um. Sorta similar? OK, not.
Hi Gris! I kind of love being able to picture every store you mentioned above. Yay local Buffistas!
Yay!
Oh Ginger, that is definitely Too Much, and you're more than entitled to whine. Wish I had something to make it better.
Gris, sometimes they are good, and sometimes my forays into Kreative Kookery are...bad.

I'm going to forget you ever said that.
Ever.
