At a private party last night I had -

3 or 4 Stoli and tonics

1 glass of Hynotiq on the rocks (didn't really like it)

2 glasses of Cristal Brut '96 (midnight toast)

No hangover today.

At a Russian club I had shots of what they (the Russians) claimed was the Number
One vodka, bar none. It was excellent. I asked what the name of it was and was
told "Russian Standard." I've never heard of it. That's an odd name for
something that's supposed to be the tops. Believe me, it did taste above and
beyond any vodka I've ever had, it was very elite. Maybe it also has a Russian
name.

Hangover today.

We spent NYE home together, just the two of us. We each drank a bottle of
sparkling cider (non-alcoholic). No hangover today. <G>

If this is the bottle of bright blue crap my kids left here last weekend,
it's absolutely vile.
Smells remarkably like male cat ****.

I didn't drink much -- just a couple glasses of Veuve Clicquot.

Actually, here's a link to the vodka you're talking about. I've never
tried it, but am going to buy a bottle.

Awww...I remember the year a client sent me not one, but two bottles of
Cristal. One of them was drunk with my SO in the hot tub on Christmas Eve, the
other with friends on Valentine's Day.

I'm glad you didn't have a hangover.

I didn't drink anything last night, but I did drink a nice Murphy-Goode
Cabernet Sauvignon on the beach tonight - watching the first sunset of the
year.

Clinked snifters of Remy Martin with the beloved spouse at midnight. Then
adjourned to the street where our quiet little neighborhood traditionally
congregates on New Year's Eve just after midnight to swap good wishes and watch

Two Manhattans before dinner, a bottle of Riesling and a

Boy did I ever get confused reading this post!

I read about the two manhattans and I thought "WHOA, this guy can
*drink*!"....but then I saw the chardonay and I was like "WTF? What
kind of manly man drinks *chardonay*?".....and then when I saw the part
about baking a cake, I thought "What kind of woman is named *Dave*?"

Pretty confusing.....

You got that many trees down there? I pay $160.00 for a cord. In the

Well, no. That would require thousands of acres burned, hundreds of homes
destroyed, human casualties, untold numbers of pets/animals lost, thousands of
displaced, frightened people living in temporary shelters, emergency crews
working around the clock for days/weeks, and a price in the billions of
dollars. And just as an added bonus, throw in some Christmas day mudslides to
kill some more people.
I got the attempt at humor, Gar. But some folks like me, who were right here
witnessing hell on earth might not find too much to laugh about.

Have a happy, prosperous, and healthy New Year.

I believe that "Standard" is the direct translation from the Russian. I've
heard so much about this vodka! I would very much like to try it. I thought
that it was unavailable in the U.S. I heard, but have no direct knowledge,
that is about the cheapest vodka in Russia. I am sure, however, that that
won't be the case in the U.S. if it is imported.

I don't find burning a quarter acre woodpile to entertain a few
couples much to laugh at either. The poster didn't say the origin of
the wood, but it doesn't sound like a weekend tree trimming job. I
could have heated my house for years with that much wood. Ever heard
of our endangered rain forests? Or all the other fires through the
US? I'm not a scientist. But from what I read and hear, even they
can't agree on what to do about it.

You sounded like a good cook, Dave. May be you can help me...

I really wanted to learn how to make fancy Christmas cookies last month.
I thought I should practice baking Chocolate Chip cookies first 'cause
everyone says they are easy. I followed the recipe really carefully and
was so pleased when they came out looking just right. Then I tried one
and it tasted like a muffin top. 8-o Where did I go wrong???

No Wonder the American Government finds it necessary to put up
artificially protective tar riff barriers from wood imports if that
is the level of idiocy in their Wood Industry. Anybody else would
have been recycling that material into saleable product.

More than you think, probably. Quite a lot of homes have those slow
combustion stoves. Enough to cause various councils to be worried about
air pollution in winter.

Walking around my neighbourhood (which, while I wouldn't consider it the
"city", would certainly be the "city" compared to where you are <g>) on a
winter's evening I smell plenty of smoke. My in-laws have a wood burning
slow combustion heater, though I don't think it gets used much anymore.

We don't have one and I wouldn't consider it. Too much hassle. We have a
reverse cycle air conditioner in the living area, and one in our bedroom.
While it can get chilly in winter (down to O, but not much below, some
nights) and our bedroom gets pretty cold, it's not that hard to get warm.
I'm more concerned about cooling down in summer - the air conditioners
are certainly getting a workout at the moment. A week or more of temps in
high 30s (deg C),

OK, I've drifted enough off topic now, I think.

That is not what the Europeans understand. And most Canadian sawmills
are now recycling that type of stuff into 'artificial wood' products.

A lot of this can be attributed to mismanagement. Forests/hillsides are
supposed to burn, from time to time.This is the natural way of things But in
the "greater cause" of real estate development, this has not been allowed to
happen for many years. This results in overgrowth of trees and brush, and
disaster waiting to happen. (This is only my observation of my local
situation).
