Cocktail Hour Music - Wednesday November 27, 2013

T'was the night before Thanksgiving and we listened to Robbie Williams' new one: Swings Both Ways. He does well with this style of music.

Pre-Thanksgiving 2013 Part 2

Cute dog at South Lyndale Liquors. Didn't see the St. Bernard until we were about to leave.

Pre-Thanksgiving 2013 Part 1

Dale and I hit South Lyndale Liquors to stock up for the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. Picked up some more Fulton's Harvest Pumpkin Pie Liqueur, Hendrick's Gin (a big ass 1.75 litre bottle) and a bunch of wine (of course to drink, but we'll also baste the turkey tomorrow in red wine).

B.A.N.K. Restaurant 2

I had the prime rib and Dale had the halibut. We started with the Brussels sprouts with creme freche and a balsalmic vinegar reduction. Divine. The whole atmosphere of the place was perfect for drinking martinis and eating beef.

B.A.N.K. Restaurant 1

Dale and I went to B.A.N.K. recently. It was fantastic. I started out with a Tanqueray martini while he had wine. I love the bar there. It's ovular and right in the middle of the restaurant. The bartenders would shake the martinis over their heads. It looked kinda butch. I tried it at home the next time I made a martini. It didn't feel all that butch.

A Glass of Wine

Made lasagna for dinner tonight and had a glass of wine while assembling it. I just don't drink much wine anymore so it was a nice change of pace. The featured wine was La Vieille Ferme which is one of Dale's favorites.

Dinner with Gary and Warren

Dale and I had dinner with Warren and Gary last night. Warren made spaghetti. I fixed my own Tanqueray martini. We watch The Hangover and had a blast.
