Well then... you need to join us in the cigar lounge.
Herrera's Bean Soup. Greasy, spicy, and addictive. Perfect for today, icy, 19 degrees F. You really need the remains of a bone-in ham, but a half-pound of bacon, diced and fried up in an iron pot will do nicely.
With jalapeno cornbread muffins, and huge tumblers of iced green tea.
I'm doing that, tonight.
Bean Soup (inspired by Herrera's Restaurant in Dallas, Texas)
1 lb. pinto beans, rinse, pick over, and soak overnight
bacon, chopped
1 sweet yellow onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped (seeded, if you're cooking for wimps)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
fresh cilantro, chopped (1/4 of a bunch)
4 cans chicken broth
2 1/2 cans water
salt and pepper to taste
1 tspn chili powder
Fry bacon until just barely crisp. Remove from pan and drain. Leave lbacon grease in the pan and fry the onion, peppers, and garlic until onion is transparent. Pour everything into a cast iron pot and simmer until beans are tender. Turn off heat and stir, mashing some of the beans against the side of the pot.
Gets better by the next day. You can used dried cilantro; it seems to work just as well. If you're in a hurry, canned pintos seem to work as well.

Of course, Rasputin is not always readily available. But this is. *

My wife hates it when I say to the waiter , " make my beer extra stout and my meat extra snout.":chuckle:
* Guinness extra stout is a reasonable substitute.

Good single malt whisky (Favorites being Lagavulin 16, Ardbeg 10 and Talisker 10, Islay whisky being my favorite in general).
Snus. I think its called dip in the US, but calling dip for snus in terms of quality is like calling grape juice with lighter fluid for red wine. (And it is placed under the upper lip). Favorite brand is Montecristo. Don't use too much, like once a day top and I can go months without it.
I also enjoy a good white molded cheese like Brie, St.Albray or Camembert.

lol, I havent tried that particular one, but I've had terrible luck with factory flavored beer.
A Mexican in Colorado told me how to make a "Michelada". Sounds weird but I like them.
Use "Tecate" beer
Add some "Valentinas" hot sauce.
Add some worcester sauce
Add lime juice.
(was no clamato or tomato juice like you'll see in most recipes)
I don't have measurements for it, but it's real easy to experiment a little and perfect it quickly.
I saw that, but I wouldn't be of much help since I'm a major newbie when it comes to cigars. I can't tell you what a good one is. :idunno: I might read it just to get tips though. :up:
I saw you drink red wine most days. What kinds of wine do you like?
I just vomited in my mouth and had to swallow it. Sounds nasty. The only way that sounds good is if it's mixed up in a glass and sitting next to a glass of something else...and I just drink the something else.
Worchester Sauce...REALLY!?? :noway:
I really don't understand the concept of guilty pleasures. You people are weird.

I had dated my wife for less than 3 months and proposed. She responded," that's weird!" I replied," well do you like weird?" That sealed the deal!!!
Fixed it for you.
in some cases that too.
It's called a figure of speech. And you think we are weird? :kookoo:
A guilty pleasure is something that isn't morally wrong at all. Instead, it's something that if not done in moderation would probably kill you. Yet we indulge anyways.... because... in moderation, we enjoy it!
But... I think you know all this right? You just like to act like you don't. :loser:
terrible
terrible
You let me down, I thought you had no vices?
terrible terrible terrible :sigh:
If it's crummy wine I agree with you... terrible. I'll bet the wine that Jesus made was pretty good. :up:
Only terrible if you don't add a little Grand Marnier on top.
Who said anything about vices? :idunno:
There isn't anything immoral about drinking wine, margarita's, or smoking cigars. I'm at the point in my life where I'm frankly not too concerned about living up to anyone's expectations of how they think I should act.
There's lots of reasons why I think you are weird, this is just another.
So why is it called a guilty pleasure? Do you tell yourself that you are a bad person when you are enjoying your cigar? If you have enough sense to do it in moderation, where does the guilt come in?
No, actually I don't, and I think that should be obvious by this point. Try harder, please.
She is thinking she'd like to be a chef some day, so I'm gonna have a hard time keeping my girlish figure over the next few years
No offense, but I have more of a girlish figure than you. Your figure is a lot of things...it ain't girlish. Herculean, Atlantean, Amazonian, brutal, caveman-like...yes.
Girlish?
:rotfl:
...
...
But no.
The mixture of chocolate and peanut butter is probably the best combination ever created. :cloud9:
Snickers are good too.
And Twix.
I like gummy stuff as well. :chew:
