I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Nummy toes?

My "system" of buying wines because I like their name or how their label looks and then letting them sit for several years because, really, my wine buying rate and my wine consumption rate are out of sync pays off again

Oh my god, -t, are you me?

We bought crown royal (blech) today, but it's maple-infused. It'll be AWESOME for butterscotch, but it is not good drinking. However, I just made a dutch baby and replaced the sugar with maple sugar and maple-infused whisky. Delish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nummy toes?

They always take them back!

Oh, but it comes in a bag that's great for microphones! (Has totally bought booze for the packaging alone before.)

Oh my god. Words fail me.

Crown Royal bags are primo for holding dice. I have been told.

The maple finished crown royal has a brown bag instead of blue. It is awesome.

Neat! I might have to look for that. Because I need more whiskey? Well, if I start making butterscotch I will. And, I just remembered, I somewhat randomly have chocolates meant to be paired with whiskey in my freezer.

BTW, dark chocolate + zinfandel = yum. Really brings out the peppery finish.

I love Crown but not the maple stuff.

I should really learn from the years of having flavored vodka sitting in my freezer so that I was unwilling to buy good old Monopolowa to make pie crusts but also unwilling to make cherry-flavored pie crusts.
