Holiday Themed wines

I was on a roll that evening..did keep my notes though.

 

[Hippie]

Gotta have them notes. I have noticed though that even if I copy the recipe how I think is exact, it is never the same twice. Not in a bad way, but just always different.

 

[Maui Joe]

Notes, however they are written, are important...especially when a "senior moment " steps in.....sorta like a dream, you remember having one about....but the little importantthings are not quite as clear the next day.

 

[Hippie]

Yep. I do that all the time. I am not old, though. I forget people's name's alot.I used to be really good remembering phone numbers, but that left also.

 

[Maui Joe]

Ah....the term is just for seniors to use as an excusable reason for not remembering. Now forgetting is something else, not easily forgiven by many.......

 

[Hippie]

I never forget a face, just can't always put a name to it when I see it again. It is sometimes embarrassing.

 

[Maui Joe]

I am the same way..yet some people have the knack of getting their name squeezed out of them without feeling embarrassed. I usually just say, "Heh guy, how's it going........in great hopes that he doesn't ask whether or not I remember his name. I think that the world should require name tags...it beats calling them something else.

 

[Hippie]

Wouldn't that be a hoot. I would probably have to be cute and put on a different name every day.

The sad thing is, though, even when I do use my notes, the wines are not the same.

 

[Maui Joe]

I have noticed taste changes in commercial wines of one in particular thatI buy weekly. Notes are like recipe instructions, even for cooking food....it really matters on many other conditions as well.

 

[MedPretzel]

I agree with you. It also depends on the batch size, I think.

 

[Hippie]

Yes, many other conditions. Temp, time, moon phase, atmospheric conditions, which direction you stir, yeast, nutrient, abv, water, wow, it could go on and on nearly infinite.

 

[Maui Joe]

I like your new smileys CW.

 

[Hippie]

You have them also Joe. Look to the left beside the box you type in where it says more...


Got it? Just click on one after or during typing your post.

 

[Maui Joe]

Oh yes! Joe, please read all of the instructions first! say it again..all the instructions first!

 

[Hippie]

hehehe That's funny Joe. My son, 15 next month, buys playstation games and other goodies that require a person to thoroughly read the instructions and do things step by step. He don't, then gets frustrated.

 

[MedPretzel]

Hahaha, your son sounds like me. I don't read instructions either, except when "there's no way out!"

 

[Maui Joe]

You're not alone..

 

[Hippie]

Yep, it's the old OCD thang rearing it's ugly head again!

 

[MedPretzel]

How true that is...
