Friday night wine and cheese party!

[CamarotaDesign]

Who's with me?

I've opened a bottle of Bordeoux, got some goat and sheep cheses, some sun dried tomato bruschetta. mmmmmmmmm.

[CamarotaDesign]

darn, just me? *sips another glass* ooh look at this shiny thing on the floor!

[frankster]

I'm with you. Got any stilton?

[budafist]

I'll try some sheep cheese. I have to admit though, I don't like goat cheese. Too "goaty". You have anything squeezed from bovines?

[CamarotaDesign]

You might like this goat chevre, it's got a lot of herbs in it that cover up the goatiness. If not, I've got a fresh wedge of parmeson, some swiss elementaler, and some ricotta, but i was saving that for homemade raviolis so you'll have to come to my Italian cooking night, where I bust out my pasta maker and we maka the pasta!.

[frankster]

I only have two buck chuck and some cheese string. Can I still join in? Wait I have some of that stuff in the spray can... No...No...I ate all that, but I do have the cheese string still.

[frankster]

wait! I found some mac and cheese in the cupboard and a bottle of creme de menthe! I need to go grocery shopping.

[Red Kittie Kat]

I only have a can of sprinkle cheese and no wine .... and looks like I missed the party ... so I have plenty of whine now tho :(

;)

[frankster]

what is sprinkle cheese? It sounds as glittery as your welcomes. I am out of wine now. Better start on the creme de menthe.

[budafist]

I just sliced some camembert from the fridge. I prefer camembert served at room temperature but I wasn't willing to wait that long :D

Camembert is my favourite. I'm no fan of stinky cheese like blue or parmesan. I feel like I should be a stinky cheese eater since all the people I know that are foodies are stinky cheese lovers but it just doesn't agree with me.

parmesan in a can :D

[budafist]

Would you eat parmesan out of a can? Do you sprinkle it onto the back of your hand and then lick it off and then down a shot of tomato puree?

[Red Kittie Kat]

mmmm I never thought of that .... I just sprinkle it over spaghetti for the most part :D

[frankster]

maybe that could work with a bloody mary Buda! and then bite into a stick of celery after. Urgh, I don't like celery though.

What about lick some garam masala, down a shot of pernot and bite whoever is sat next to you?

[budafist]

Biting people isn't my style. I prefer licking their brains :)

I want dinner to cook faster so we can go out. I know we plan to arrive fashionably late, but there's fashionably late and then there's just plain too late.

[Red Kittie Kat]

I think I like that one best Frank ... I tend to be a biter :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

Ok buda you lick the brains ... I'll bite the rest :D

[budafist]

So is it still Friday night over there? Or is it more like early wee hours of Saturday morning? It's almost 8pm here.

Hands out some still cold camembert out to guests.

[Red Kittie Kat]

it is 3:45 am Saturday morning .... why am I up?

I have no idea ...

I woke up and had to pee

Why I can't walk by this thing without checking is beyond me ... I think I have a problem :D

[budafist]

Buda (shyly): Hi. I'm Buda and I'm a GDF-aholic.

All (together): Hi Buda.

[Red Kittie Kat]

(in a shaky voice)

Hey mannnnn I don't know why you brought me here.... I don't have a problem!!!


(in the denial stage still)

[frankster]

I have to go to bed or I'm going to go looking for second dinner.

[Red Kittie Kat]

oh man too late ... all this food talk .. and I just went and got a cold glass of milk and some left over chicken :D

[budafist]

Just finished yummy lamb dinner. The lamb was a bit undercooked (too impatient) but I don't mind undercooked red meat. It tastes good undercooked :)

[Red Kittie Kat]

well ... I don't mind undercooked beef .. but that's about it ... undercooked chicken is just gross :D

But my chicken was good .. a nice roasted bird ... I had a little dollop of horseradish sauce to dip in to as well ;)

[Red Kittie Kat]

On that note I'm heading back to bed :D


Au revior!! Bon Nuit!! Bon Soir!!

[tuliptree]

there's fashionably late and then there's just plain too late.


Knocks on door and enters, holding a bottle of merlot and some feta cheese...

Hello? Hello...

Looks around and sees a bunch of sleeping people surrounded by empty bottles, cheese wrappers and an empty jar of horseraddish....sits down on couch, pours a glass of wine and puts feet on coffee table....

[CamarotaDesign]

Ah crap, fell asleep at my own party!!!! All that wine and Cheese... Especially when Tulip brings some good stuff.

Frankster, You are lucky I fell asleep, Because you never would have gotten in with your string cheese. My wine and cheese party is for snobs only, all cheese must be at least of the $7 per lb variety.... 2 buck chuck is not allowed, nor anything of the california bargain variety, French and Italian reds are preferred, If the label says "Table Wine" it is an abomination because that means the grapes have been blended, and it is not unpure. Also, the Appellation must be designated!....

Pretentiousness is an absolute must and you have to be wearing a turtleneck sweater or courderoy blazer. It's also preffered if you have some witty remarks and facts prepared about a post modern Artist or writer.

Oh, and if you have more than 2 glasses of wine and start raising your voice or change the chamber music I have playing in stereo, thats grounds for automatic expulsion.

HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cornfed]

Damn! I'm expelled before I walk in the door!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Man if Frank and CF would have gotten kicked out ... I never would have made it in with my cheap spinkle cheese and milk :D

[urstwile]

I definitely would have been expelled with my queso panela and Sierra Nevada, I guess. :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

good thing he fell asleep then :D

[CamarotaDesign]

Yeah, hey, I woke up with all these drawings on my face, you guys didn't like the host? I thought I was a great host! ;)

Urst.... mmmm, queso panela, that sounds good though I don't know what it is.... You are a Sierra Nevada Drinker too? SN Pale Ale is my all time favorite beer, pretty much my goto beer, anywhere I am, I order that one. You do know that it's brewed up here in Chico right? Spoiled, why yes, yes I am.

[urstwile]

Yes, I did know that about where it was brewed, Cam. It's my default beer as well, although I'm also fond of Anchor Steam and lately Stone Pale Ale, when I can find it.

Queso panela is considered to be a class of fresh cheese, that is, one that's not been aged, so they have a shorter shelf life. It's really good crumbled on top of different Mexican dishes, but honestly, I can eat it just plain as a nibbling cheese. It's kind of like a mild version of feta cheese in texture but much less salty. It's yummy. :) Although I >3 feta as well, just we're living in a primarily Mexican neighborhood right now, so that's what they have and it's really good.

[tuliptree]

Yeah, hey, I woke up with all these drawings on my face ;)



Ah ha! morea did slip in, I thought I heard someone whispering something about sunblock and comic sans....

I was the one who put the cocktail napkin on you, Cam, you looked cold sleeping there on the kitchen floor.

Mmmm...urst....queso panela, can I trade you some feta for a bite?

[urstwile]

Sure, tuliptree! Hands a big slice of queso panela over to tuliptree.

[tuliptree]

takes the cheese and eats it all up mmmm....tres delicious, thanks! washes it down with Sierra Nevada So good.

Urst, here's some feta for you (trying not to sound like the cheese Nazi-- "SOME FETA FOR YOU!"). I made a pan of my grandmother's spanikopita with it if you want try a bite (places pieces of pita next to sleeping Kittie, Frankster and Buda, and brings a piece to expelled Cornfed)

[Red Kittie Kat]

aww you are too kind Tulip :D

[Zendada]

How did I miss this! :(

Paper thin asiago and a Malbec please. And a Monte Cristo.

[urstwile]

Oooh, spanakopita, I'm all over it! I love spanakopita! :)

[tuliptree]

My greek grandma would spank (get it hahahaO me for spelling that wrong. spanakopita not spanikopita. i can say that with the most authentic accent but i gueess can't spell. Sorry, I just got back, went out and had a real live margarita. It was large, and very strong. i'm haveing a hard timy spelling but i'll kep trying.
hey zendada, did you get your monte cristo yet?

[frankster]

hey zendada, did you get your monte cristo yet?

Give me a minute will you! I'm still scrubbing the vomit out of the toilet cistern. I'm not even sure that it was me that did it now you know.

[tuliptree]

Well it wasn't me, I didn't have any sprinkle cheese.


Edit: my spelling is improving, time for another drink!

[CamarotaDesign]

How did I miss this! :(

Paper thin asiago and a Malbec please. And a Monte Cristo.
Zen- I forgot to add, if you bring a cigar, only Cohibas are allowed. You are expelled. ;)

Urst - Yum, that sounds like some good cheese. Actually, I'm pretty sure I've had it. I used to get tacos at a place that put this white crumbly cheese that tasted like feta on it. That must be it. Mmmmm. I've been eating mostly vegiterian for the last 3 months, and cheese has never tasted better :)

Tulip - Why thank you for that napkin, no wonder I slept so soundly while you were all marking my face. Are you a cigar smoker as well? Cohibas are my absolute favorite, nothing beats a Siglo series with a nice glass of port.

Frank- That was my Burber organic cotton knit rug, It cost $129 a square foot, you owe me $5000. :p

[budafist]

Cam, when did you become such a snob? Look out or we'll have to start our own peasants and commoners party next door.

[CamarotaDesign]

lol, I am doing a good job arent I?

I want to come to the commoner's party, I really do!!! I got some cheese wiz and pringles, just as good as havarti and table water crackers, mmmmm.

[budafist]

There will be freshly baked cheese and sausage rolls at the commoner's party too! Man...I want sausage rolls for lunch. That's it. Decided.

[urstwile]

Don't be bringing that stuff to the commoner's party, Cam. Just 'cause we're commoners doesn't mean we don't eat well, just means we're not spending $7 a pound on cheese. :)

[Zendada]

Zen- I forgot to add, if you bring a cigar, only Cohibas are allowed. You are expelled. ;)

:(

I’ve been tossed out of some dives, but never a nice party like this! But, not to be rude to the host, I will defer and bring a Cohiba. +1 one for the host.

[tuliptree]

I've never had a cigar, but if I continue drinking this wine, I may sneak a puff of yours, Cam!

quietly places copy of Desert Solitaire onto coffee table...

[CamarotaDesign]

Urst- Hey now, this cheese whiz is $4 a can, thats pretty expensive for your commoner tastes is it not? ;) Actually, I like to get less expensive cheeses usually. Sometimes I really splurge though and get like $20 worth of gourmet cheeses along with a bunch of fancy bottles of wine. Gotta love Trader Joes. mmmmhmmmm.

Another thing, this reminded me of a funny time my friends and I were driving to the city (San Francisco) for a reggae show back in highschool.. and being stupid highschoolers we had beer along with us, and we we stopped at a stop light and a bum was there panhandling, and we asked if he wanted a beer, he said yes, then we handed him a coors light, and he said "no, I don't drink that stuff" LOL.... he's the Microbrew Drinking Bum! He may be a bum, but that doesnt mean he drinks crappy alcohol, lol.


Zen, Excellent choice my friend. I am a big fan of The Siglo I's. There is something about a small cigar that I especially love, though I do enjoy larger sizes like a corona.

Tulip, I think you may just enjoy a Cohiba. I really only like smoking the ones with a rich creamy smoke with a bit of chocolate and nut flavors to it. It goes absolutely fantastic with port or a late harvest Zin.

[Samakimoto Graphics]

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnggg!

I missed the party...:(

[SpugNothuson]

quietly places copy of Desert Solitaire onto coffee table...

What's this? Are we sneaking literature into this party to try and raise the tone?

Bit of a guerilla movement rebelling against the wanton mass consumption of Wine and Cheese without sufficient intelligent conversation?

places copy of Once a Pilgrim next to Desert Solitaire...

[Samakimoto Graphics]

Quietly places a copy of "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"on the coffee table...

heh.

[tuliptree]

yup! :)

I also brought Boggle. :D

[CkretAjint]

no twister? :(

[tuliptree]

I thought you were going to bring that, Ckret. Quick, someone get the Twister!

[morea]

I was out this weekend... did you guys save me any wine and cheese?

[tuliptree]

Yeah, hey, I woke up with all these drawings on my face, you guys didn't like the host? I thought I was a great host! ;)


Ah ha! morea did slip in, I thought I heard someone whispering something about sunblock and comic sans....



Drat, you blew my cover morea! :p

There's still plenty of cheese, and many kinds too, help yourself. There's some spanakopita left that I can reheat too. Oh yeah, can I use your oven Cam?

[frankster]

Oh yeah, can I use your oven Cam?

No, not yet, someone was sick in there too.:rolleyes:

[tuliptree]

There too? Sheesh! What about the toaster oven then.

[frankster]

Dunno, not looked, but there's something weird in his chest freezer...come and see!

[morea]

lmao! You guys are nuts. Don't mind me tulip, it's the dehydration talking. :eek:

[tuliptree]

looks in the freezer

Are those....Tom's pretzel(s)??


I think we have gone a little crazy morea, you're right. Three days of only wine and cheese and cigars may have contributed.

[morea]

I would have been happy to join you, but my invitation must have been lost in the mail. :p

[Two-Toe Tom]

you can still see my pretzels in that? my digestive track ain't doin its job. :p

[CamarotaDesign]

I don't want to even know where Tom's pretzels came from, or how they got in my freezer, but I do want to know who's in the oven so I can select the right herbs and spices to go along with them.

[tuliptree]

It might be Frankster, she was cleaning it out and I haven't seen her since. Hmmmm....I think she would go well with some lemon thyme. Are you making your homemade raviolis by chance? yum yum!
