My friends Bosch was so quiet as I was leaning on the counter right in front of it I didn't know it was running until it started to drain and I heard the water going into the sink drain. Now I don't know if we have that model in this country.

I really should replace this old thing in my house but it works and it matches everthing nicely.

Nothing for the Box. We have just finished something from a little further out on the Eastern TVG. A semi-dry Gewurtztraminer from Alsace went very nicely with the roast duck. .

If anyone wants to meet up before the Mini Box do on Sunday, champagne is on me FOR the box :)

Yummy!

Shall I tell the West Bank to have any specific bottles on ice for Sunday's Box Mini Do or shall we just play it by ear? That is a place with a big time wine list.

Just say where and when. :D :D

The wife was diagnosed with stomach flu today, just two days before our great excursion to the Marriott Club Villas in Newport Beach. I'll be spending the long weekend taking care of her. Kinda kills our first valentines, but it's all good. :rolleyes:

Marriott Marquis - and I'm serious about this! Anytime 5:30 or later.

That may be worth a 3 hour drive.:)

Yikes! Dry toast, ginger ale and lots of love from you!

That's exciting! We can play it by ear but I am partial to the Salmon Billecart Rose.

How do we find you since we only know your first name and the Marriott phone operator will not be able to find you with that alone?

Is it normal that a five year old has open mouth/french kissing on her mind? :eek::confused::eek: I asked her where she learned this and she told me my wedding picture which shows a very chaste kiss. I am in so much trouble.

Anyone who is interested, PM me - I'll give you my cell phone number ;)

Don't we all remember that one?? Boyoboy was it great.
