I've had both, just the fermented palm wine and the distillate, they both have a flavor. Someone else up thread mentioned curry - great stuff that. I have a formula handed down to me from a venerable establishment in Earl's court called the Sri Lanka. Killer, the best I have had anywhere by far. Made from fresh ingredients and kept tightly stoppered it will keep for a year or two and still pack a real whallop. If I can find it, I will post it for posterity. Curry is ideal for bush camps. It is guaranteed to sterilize any conceivable combination of local food stuffs and make them moderately palatable no matter how bad they taste in their native state.  Fond memories of all that. As to the cognac, I have never seen that one, I will have to try to find some and try it. While on the subject of spirits, who among us and the lurkers has experienced Mao Tai? I only recently came across it. ERV posted about it on her old blog some time ago and I think gave it a positive review.  Strange stuff but not bad at all after the first glass....

A quick search of the web shows Dirty Dicks in Kill Devil Hills and Buddy's in Wrightsville Beach. Ever been to either establishment or have another recommendation for a crab house at the beach? Wrightsville will be closer but I think Kill Devil Hills would be more fun for a day at the beach. Any advice would be appreciated. Crabby

stevestory Posts: 13407 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: July 08 2008,01:34    You know honestly I never get out to the beach here. I grew up in Florida, and at a lot of seafood there, but in the 9 years since I moved to Raleigh, then Durham, and now Chapel Hill, I think I've been near the beach once. Haven't had much seafood here aside from calamari at 35 Chinese, fried catfish and salmon croquettes I make at home, and the Lobster bisque from Harris Teeter. Somebody here probably can advise you though. edit: that should read 'ate a lot of seafood there' Edited by stevestory on July 08 2008,02:35

stevestory Posts: 13407 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: July 08 2008,01:47    I haven't been posting to the libations and comestibles thread lately. I'm not where I want to be for the July 13 triathlon, so I missed that, the next one is the J.F. Hurley Formula 1 Sprint Triathlon which is a totally fucked-up 5-leg race, the Lake Norman triathlon is already closed, so basically, I'm totally pissed off and not going to get back into triathlons til September. And it's depressed my usual gluttony.

Apparently they have them all the time there. Good for him. I'm not driving to the worst state in the union just to do a race.

I'm not gonna get that close to the coast and stop for a Chinese buffet. I never drink less than 3 beers or more than 40. Salmon croquettes? Blecch! My Mom used to make 'em, they always had vertebrae innem. I'd rather eat salmon raw. I'll PM you later this week. Crabby

But treating it as such, here goes. I've lived in Texas, Indiana, Florida, Georgia, and now North Carolina. Nine years ago I moved, from Florida, first to Raleigh, then Durham, now Chapel hill. I just walked to the convenience store and back, at 10 pm, and my shirt is sticking to me. I hate this. I'm not doing it much longer. I'm going to base my next move on one thing. I am going to find somewhere with a medium size city, where the average temperature is somewhere around 60-70 and the annual temperature variation is one of the lowest in the country. I didn't like the heat and humidity in Florida and it's better up here but it's starting to piss me off here too. 100 degrees can kiss my ass. A lot of wind would be nice too. Based on data like this: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/online/ccd/meantemp.html http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/online/ccd/maxtemp.html it looks like I'll be moving to Oregon next. I don't care if the high in January is only 45º, because the high in August is only 79º. Here it's 85º right now at 10:15pm at night. Screw this.

Maybe you're just thinking aloud, but I say go for it.  I did a post-doc at Oregon State in Corvallis and really enjoyed my time there.  They have great beer and tons of high quality outdoor activities to enjoy, and the coast is fantastic.  The wife and I enjoyed many a trip to the Rogue brewery in Newport on our way to appease her shopping habit in Lincoln City/Depoe Bay. Eugene and Portland are also really nice.    I'd stay away from the East half of the state if you're not into wild temperature fluctuations though. Quote Here it's 85º right now at 10:15pm at night.

It's just annoying when you're going to cycle somewhere (something wich I wich I do a lót, ya know, Dutch ). A nice breeze on warm days is nice though. Agree on you about the temperatures though, those in Oregon sound perfect (although 45 in January doesn't mean snow ). But it seems you've moved a lót, what about friends and family then? I mean, talking to them via teh intrawebz isn't everything. Can't imagine moving so easely so far away.

But California's housing prices are prohibitively expensive, so I think Oregon it is.

But California's housing prices are prohibitively expensive, so I think Oregon it is. If you're really jonesing for 250+ overcast days a year & LOTS of rain, Oregon should definitely scratch your itch. But keep in mind, Oregon is cheap for a reason: it's got one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. There's Portland (a great city), + a few pockets like Eugene & Corvallis, but aside from that, it's very poor. The basic demographic of rural/small town Oregon is unemployed alcoholic loggers, hippie expats from California, and pot growers. (These categories overlap. In some places you can add poverty-stricken, pissed off Indians.) Also, most of the state is very Red, except for Portland and Eugene, which are very Blue. Also, the state has been filling up with old people from California for some time now. Again, beautiful scenery + no jobs = cheap land for wealthy retirees. -------------- "Rich is just mad because he thought all titties had fur on them until last week when a shorn transvestite ruined his childhood dreams by jumping out of a spider man cake and man boobing him in the face lips." - Erasmus
