How about you?

Heya sorry for the delayed responses. I was in the shower getting ready for the formal/prom tonight which is only a few hours away.

Well I don't really like the beers we have in down under. Beer is a last resort for me if there is nothing else to drink. If it must be beers then it shall be Crown Lager or Tooheys New.

But usually I will go for any of the vodka/liqueur mixer drinks. Oh but there is ONE beer that I love and that is Becks. I think it's made in Germany.

I notice you changed your location - hey that's a start, eh? Just give the guys a bit of a breather and everything will be all right.

Hey, I didn't realize the formal was tonight. I hope you have an awesome time and if you can, send us a pic - dying to see what you decided on.

That's right it's 11-DEC-2006 down under. So you're still going with silver tie?

Yes indeed. All black except for the tie which is silver.

CanadianChic · 12-10-2006, 06:37 PM

Okay guys, I fear this is entering the chatty zone so I think we need to make our posts a little longer. Sorry to be the heavy, but it's so cool to get together and I would hate to jeopardize this. Anyway, on that somber note, Robbie, I hope you have an unbelievable night, SoBad you amuse me as always. Catch y'all later.

Good lad! Enjoy your formal tonight!

P.S. I'll be giving your "omega 3" comment some thought.

I'm off for now too. It's time to go to a friend's place for the pre formal party, then there will be the formal itself and then after parties. Have a good one SoBad

ooo, all black with a silver tie sounds quite handsome. Hope it's not too late to pick up some of the conversation I missed, I had to do some yoga and cook some dinner (ginger/garlic prawns tonight).

As for libations, well since its this time of year, I bought egg nog tonight at the grocery store. I add a little bit of vanilla ice cream and rum/brandy mix. If I'm not too lazy, I'll sprinkle nutmeg into it as well. This is my worst weakness at this time of year and I need to exercise more to counteract it. (as if

). The rest of the year I'll choose between Bass Ale, Samuel Adams, Red Tail Ale or Guinness, or whatever wine strikes my fancy, mostly California Reds and some 'refridgerator whites' during the hot summer months. Glass of sherry or muscato occaisionally, and perhaps a Long Island Iced Tea if it's a very special thing (I only get top shelf versions, and those are expensive). I was on a Cosmopolitan thing for a while, but the last time I had one it just seemed too sour.

Okay, was that long enough?

Well, the original cosmo was designed as an aperitif, so it really should be on the sour side. As with any drink where you balance sweet against sour, of course, it's there are subjective factors like drinker's stated preference and bartender's judgement call. Personally if I am mixing, I would always err on the sour side. A little too much lime and "hmm... it's a little sour", but a little too much Cointreau and the drink is ruined (undrinkably sweet). Just a thought from "semi-pro" of mixology yours truly...

So, I've been thinking about New Year's Resolutions and the fact that I never make them since I know they will be broken. Does anyone follow this practice, and if so, care to share? The only one I could think of maybe sticking to is watching a little less tv and spending more time reading. The only time I get a chance these days is before sleep - but I looked at my stack of unread books yesterday and thought - yeah, actually my thought was kind of morbid but you get the idea. Resolutions anyone??

Robbie_1988 · 12-11-2006, 06:16 PM

Okay yay! G'day everyone. I had the formal last night and as you probably remember I initially said i'd go with the red poppy tie but then thought i'd go with silver to match her accessories. But she didn't wear heaps of silver so who knows maybe I should have stuck with the red tie. But I had a good time anyway

Robbie_1988 · 12-11-2006, 06:18 PM

Just posting one in here since most of the people who participated in my "Prom Colour Coordinating" thread participate in CC's thread.

Just paranoid about my Prom Colour Coordinating thread be bumped down and down and maybe people wouldn't get to see it.

Have a good day.

CanadianChic · 12-11-2006, 06:19 PM

You look amazing, eh? Is this your special sheila??

Fee · 12-11-2006, 06:19 PM

Well you both look quite dashing and festive. The outfits look good without being overly 'matchy'. Well done.
