I am not a baker , but every few years I get the urge to bake a pie...... & today looks like it will be the day !

I left about 5:30 went home changed into my Tux & went to my Grandsons piano recitial & I was the master of cermonies for the show ,,, there were 8 piano players & 2 were grand & one was superb, I will tell you the Suberb one was NOT my grandson , it was his teacher Sue Solidky-Roush ,,,,, just fantastic, a piece by Clemente & one by Bach had me tapping my toes , the kids played everything from Scott Joplin to traidional old English melodies , a few were a little slow & a few sour notes were hit but eveyone was a star that night....... after the music was over , I went back to the shop , still in my Tux ........ had a great time a few customers asked about the suit, I told them I just got married hahahahaha

The tree is up & decorated, the outside lights are up & working, the boss is strangling a cat... she is trying to sing along with the Christmas Carols , God Bless her tone deff sound ! ,,, what she lacks in tallent she makes up in VOLUME........
She is brewing a pot of Christmas blend coffee , a Chocolate hazelnut, mint eggnog , with nutmeg & cinninom .............. No comment, I will sip it & go out to the Qtr.Deck & dump it out the back window ........ wait a few minutes & come back in get the Kona on , & fire up a Fine OLD Contraband smoke & back out with a nice snifter of single malt ........ the world will blurr into a sea of jazz & cigar smoke ....... the soup will be ready about 4 , so if your in the area , be sure to stop ....... Enjoy, Vince

Good morning , it is Sunday 12 December 2010, a wet cold morning here in da Burgh, we had a COLD week & some snow but now it is 35F & Raining, with a freezing rain & snow in the forcast, Fun times on the roads tonight, I will be turning on the heat in the Qtr.Deck soon & spending most of the day with a few friends, Don Carlos #3(Cigars) &,Jaun Valdez( coffee) & maybe a visitor from Islay in the form of Laugavulin or Laphroaig, but you never know, it might be a weee dram of Redbreast from the Emerald Isle , depends on the mood when I open the bar........ Most likly , it will be what ever is in front ,,,, ahhha bottle of Drambuie........ Rusty Nail anyone ? .... sweet sip, needs a full body cigar to complement the dark roast Brazillian santos ( I think thats what was on the bag before I roasted it, just dont remember & the trash man has gone so I cant look in the can to see what I tossed out.... what ever it is .... it will be good & strong !
The hunk O beef is all ready in the oven & the wife will be happy today ,,,, shes happy all is Good ........ But I did Burn my right hand with hot oil got a nice blister on the middle finger ,,,,, looks like a few days with out giving the ONE FINGER SALUTE, the index & ring fingers are red but no blisters,,, dammmm you never get to old to be NOT paying attention to what your doing, after 40+ years in the kitchen ,,, dammm now that I think about it 50 + years things just Flow, but as soon as you dont look , BINGO you cut yourself or burn yourself, Stupidity, you need to Focus no matter what you do ,,, like some one defusing a bomb, PAY ATTENTION to what your doing & you will come out on top, & not in pieces !
I have been looking for a replacement for my long missed Mercury Sable , I can still see it in my minds eye being Towed away by the bright red tow truck, being driven by a cute blond girl ......... dammm I miss that car, well I have looked at a bunch of replacements , a retired police car still painted black & white,,, I was planning on painting Stogie Patrol on the doors,,,,,, I looked at a Mercury Capri Convertable , the guy has a spare motor & tranny as well as a ton of other parts, , its a nice car & I had one years ago, , its a basic 2 seat ragtop with a fiberglass hardtop for the winter, stick shift & cruse control, the front end was damaged & repaired, but the evaporator for the A/C was never replaced , it has sat a long time & need tires belts & hoses, I dont need or want a Project car but dammm I would love to have it when its finished , I have looked at a few older luxury rides but to get them up to snuff it would cost way more than I want to pay...so last night I saw a 2001 Mercury Sable 102,000 miles complete with a sunroof , just like my old one but the price is a bit high ...... I just might bite the bullet & go for it ........ who knows, all I can do is talk to the guy, & see whats up or down .........
the shop has been slow all week, we had a rep in from Drew Estates & Joya de Nicarauga on Saturday, he had some great specials & we sold a few boxes ...... you know its nice to move a box for the bottom line on the sales report, BUT then I dont sell that giy anything for the next few weeks , I would rather have them come in every day & get a few sticks , shoot the breeze & hang out a bit, build a nice core of guys & have a good time , we have a few like that now , but some guys just walk in grab a stick or a box& then disapeare into the night , sit ,smoke & Bull$hit a bit , sip a little coffee , savor a wee dram be friendly I dont want to be the shop keeper I want to be one of the guys no more no less, but some people feel uncomfortable when the celebertys come in , we have a few retired pro wrestlers, a smattering of retired pro sports players & coaches , a Local Radio personality ( me ) a few of the political skumbags we elected to service our needs at the local ,county , state & federal levels & thats just what we get , SERVIVED , just like the stud bull in the pasture next door to me , yep we have all gotten it from our elected officals , sure we have a few Lawyers & Judges,& Doctors , Priests & Ministers , but no one is wearing a notched collar or a robe & there are no alterboys to tempt the priests, , we have our Christans, Jews ,Muslims,Hindos& Buddists , as well as a few agnostics & athiests ,,, I could never be an antiest.... NO HOLIDAYS !!!!!dammm fools , everyone gets treated with the same amount of Contempt ..... you want more coffee, get it your self & if the pots low , make More ,,, what do you think this is your home? I am not your mother , clean up after your self..... dammmm its fun going to the shop !
its about time to turn on the heat & fire up a cigar . Enjoy, Vince

[cohibaIV]

Hi Vince...

If you get the old police car, post some pics bud...

[vince]

I dont think I will be getting it, the Price is GREAT 1500 bucks, new motor & trans 40,000 miles ago, replaced by the dealer when the car had 100,000 miles on it ...... Not that I dont want it , BUT I loved my Sable , it FIT , you know how you have a favrite size of cigar , it just fits .......... , I had a Ford Tempo for 13 years , it was one of the cars that just fit ... the best Fit I ever had was my 63 Corvair Monza Spyder Convertable ,,, but it ate fan belts by the dozens !!!!
Enjoy, Vince

Good morning , it is Sunday 19 Dec.2010 a cold snow covered day here in da Burgh ,,,,, I have the day with the wife baking cookies for Christmas, & I cant wait for the day to be over..... this is going to be a LONG day , both of us in the kitchen at the same time ..... good thing the windows are closed & the people next door are away or they might hear a lot of arguements , I am a trained chef, she is a compulsive cleaner, & when ever we are in close quarters there is always a "slight" disagreement on how to do some thing ..... so I should just relax & enjoy the time killing breaks she imposed on my get it done method & keep on moving style & her stopping to PERFECTLY clean a spill or a crumb on the floor, , I wipe it up & keep moving, she will want to vacume & MOP every little thing that hits the floor....... its a wonder we havent killed each other yet hahahahaha
well its less than a week to Christmas, & the shop hasnt picked up as much as I thought it would ,looks like I have way to much stock for Christmas, the gift boxes & sampler sets are just taking up shelf space, looks like a pre inventory sale comming up soon !
we have been in a cold snap all of december , hardly a day has gone above freezing all month, my gas bill was double what it was just the month before .... & congress want to pass a carbon tax... BULL$HIT, what the H3ll do they think we are , if the government needs money , you dont print it or raise taxes you cut spending... these so called public servents are not worryed about serving the people but catering to them so they can be re-elected ....... we need statesmen not polititions......
As I sit here & look out the window I see the pasture is snow covered & the bird feeder is low the cows are comfortable in the barn the bull is happy ,knowing he will get turned loose to "mingle" a wee bit ..... it looks like it will be a good day for him & not so good for me , , , , since we will be making cookies all day I will be ordering a pizza later as I dont have time to cook or the room to cook when we will be in the kitchen all day ... looks like the boss wants a thin crust with sausage & extra cheese, I want a thick crust with olives & peppers ......... looks like I will be getting sausage & thin crust ........
I still havent found a car thats in my price range , I have a few in mind & drove a few more some I liked some I didnt but its just a tuff decesion to make , I miss my old Sable ,,, I did see a nice Taurus ( the same car one is a ford the other a mercury , ) I think they might come off the same asembly line , slight difference in the grill & tail lights , no difference under the car, same motor & transmission, brakes & exaust .... & since Ford motor co has discontinued the entire mercury name plate I was hoping to pick up a 2010 mercury or even a 2011 but so few were made , & the deals were just not as sweet as they were when I bought the 2000 Sable ...... Maybe after the first of the year the dealers will want to get the year off to a good start, but you would think they want to clear the books & lot before the end of the year to pad the sales for this year & show a profit or loss NOW & not sit on inventory........ I would rather make a dime today than wait a week & make 15 cents next week, I want to make a dime every week, move inventory, , keep the shelf full & move it out pronto , get the new stuff in & move it out keep the money flowing buy & spend , not TAX & spend I think all people who run for office should have a retail Or manufacturing back ground of some sort, if you cant run a business you cant run a government ........... yea we have a Coummunity orginizer in the white house & look where it got us , deeper in debt than the oil man & base ball team owner we had befor him ....... I think the last real Leader we had was Truman ,,an owner of a small business , well Reagan was an actor & & did run the actors union as its president for a time , , but look at the people since Harry, IKE was a war hero , JFK a son of a bootlegger & whisky importer during the dry times here in the USA , Nixon a crook & former VP under Ike, Johnson got a free ride to the white house after JFK was shot, lets not forget the peanut farmer Jimmy Carter , yea he did have a real job , almost forgot about him ....... Ford was a congress man form Michigan, played to much football with out a helmet , but he was a hard working man , played football & was dammmm good at the game...... the dress stainer from Arkansas a smart man Rhodes schollar but in his own words ABHORED the millitary & the Bush family , bush the elder(41) a graduate of the Central intellegency agency & 8 years of his son busH (43 ), with 8 years of billary between the bushes hahahaha, if this is the best we have to offer maybe we should just give the country back to the Native Indians , now just look at the scoicity then, no taxes at all, men went hunting & fishing anytime they wanted to , the medicine man was free the women did all the work , raised the kids cooked cleaned & gathered the fire wood, the men were free to hunt & fish all they wanted & then the STUPID white man came in & thought he cold make thing better .... what a CROCK OF BULL$HIT . well I have rambeled on long enought I ned to take a dump, fire up a cigar & get in the kitchen & start on the cookies before I get yelled at anymore this morning .... Merry Christmas to you all , dont eat & drink to much........ hahahaha Enjoy, Vince

Good morning , it is Sunday Dec.26,2010, the day after the celebration of the birth of Christ........ for all of you I wish you all a safe & care free holiday season , with Christmas & new years a week apart we have been busy at the shop, BUT I found out I did over buy for the year , dammmmmm I got a lot of stuff to get rid of to make taking the inventory go smooth, I want to sell the stuff not count it !
Santa was good to all of us, & I think I need to educate my wife just a bit more , as the past few years she has done a wonderfull job with the Christmas cigars for me , but this year ,,,, well the selection was GRAND , BUT it was shipped in a Humidor that is Beautiful, But I have 12 all ready plus 2 walk in humidors at the shop........ well I guess I can consoladate a few of the smaller ones into this big S.O.B., look like it will hold a few hundred ,,,, maybe I can retire a few of the old 50 count boxes & get rid of all the small 10 & 15 count boxes....... I do have one 10 count box that I love , it was filled with contraband Partagas series D #4's when I got it .... I looked at it over 2 years before I smoked any of them ....... they lasted 10 days after that.......... dammmmmm they were FINE ........ & thats the problem WERE ..... but I guess if I could have one EVERY day , they would become mondaine & tiresome & I would be craving a Hemmingway short story or Camacho Liberty ...... Oh well I guess we smoke what we can ,,,, & I have a pot of kona ready to press & a Don Carlos #3 calling me ...... The Grandsons were verry happy with the bounty they got , & we all went to the nursing home to visit my mother in law ,,, she thought I was her brother, well she is the youngest of 13 & the last one alive she is in her late 80's & has been in the home 6 years now, she is in the last stages of Althizimers & we are running out of money to keep her there , what we spent in the last 6 years we all could have gone on a cruse arround the world ......... TWICE ...... but thats all water under the bridge & over the dam, Gone & not to be returned, I just hope my daughter appricates the way we took care of her Nana ..... & she takes care of us like we did ..... lets face it she isnt much older than I am ...... you just never know when I might end up in diapers & drulling on my self...... after a few scotches I could use a bib even now hahahaha
we have about an inch of snow on the ground right now with a few flurries predicted for today but Nothing like the east coast ,that is going to get a 10 to 14 inch snow fall ........ dammm glad I dont live there ...... even down South its Cold & snowing ,,,,,,,, whats this BS about Globial Warming ????? well the boss just came in from cleaning the snow off the walk ways & tells me she cant get the door to the Qtr.deck open ,,,,,,, so I need to get dressed & go out & turn on the heat, so that later today I will be warm & comfortable when I go out for my Sunday morning Smoke .... Enjoy, Vince

Good morning , it is Sunday Jan 2,2011, the first posting of 2011 & a cold ,sunny but wet morning here in da Burgh ...... New Years resolutions ...... dont make any .... I woulndt be able to keep them so why try to fool myself & make them,,,, on new years eve we went out to eat with my brother & his family , my daughter & her 2 boys , her husband was at a new years eve party with his Motorcycle buddys ..... she isnt a big fan of the group & didnt want to spend the entire evening talking about bikes & riding in the winter , so she & the grandsons opted to dine with OMA & OPA , ( Guess who got to pay ) Oma & Opa are what the grandsons call us ...... Zma & Zpa are the other grandparents, ...... dont ask , I dont know !!! well its 2011 , I cant believe I made it this far , seams just like yesterday it was 1999 & we were all worried about the Y2K bug in every computer in the world....... no big deal or shutdown...... so whats next for this year? will obama get us out of the financial mess we are in , will the war in Afganastan come to a close, will India & Pakaistan nuke each other, will North Korea & South Korea figure it out & stop fighting , will the east & west , north & south ever drop the area & become one nation? where are we headed this year ? will the Christians, Jews,Buddests, Muslums ,Hindus & athiests ever agree on anything ? will the price of gasoline ever come down? Will I ever get back under 215 pounds? questions only time will tell, I have no chrystal ball or clairvoiance , I have a humidor with a
"FEW " cigars in it a small amount of single malt whisky & a few pounds of coffee to roast .......... thats all I can account for , a weee dram , a cigar & coffee, at this stage of my life other than the grandsons is about all I need or want , sure iIhave a wife of 40+ Years , & I try to keep her as happy as I can but you cant please everyone all the time , so I do the best I can & according to her , she said she will keep me arround till some thing better shows up hahahahahaha , yea like either one of us want to start training a replacement hahahaha , she has me trained & knows what I can & will not do , I will not give up my smoking room, , but I will cook for her anything she wants ...... she knows my limits & I know hers , No mustard , mayo or ketchup on her burger, no picles or relish, maybe a slice of tomato or cooked peppers & onions , cheese is Ok but I always ask first to be sure ... even after 40 + years she can still throw me a curve ball......
I am heading to the shop later today , its Inventory time , this way I can find out how much was shoplifted & "sampled" ........ I dont want to know but the accountaint wants to know, well if he wants to know let him count it hahahaha let him do his magic with the numbers & make me a millionair , lets make that a billionair , hey if your going to dream ,,, DREAM BIG !
Yesterday I slept in till about 10AM , had a nice light breakfast of Tofu & a banana both grilled to a golden brown with a shot of green tobasco to give it a little kick , lunch was a grilled cheese sandwich & then I went to the Qtr.Deck with a Lost City Opus X , a thermos of coffee & snifter of 21 YO Balvinie .... Dave Brubeck on the CD player & I got up 2 hours later to get rid of all the coffee I had consumed ..... it was a great smoke , not as strong as I thought it might be ,,,, BUT I have the BBMF opus X for some time this week, might save it for hummmm what to save it for???? No I think I will get it maybe today.... depends on what the boss has for me tonight or how the inventory count comes out , it might be a celebration smoke tonight or a last shot behind the ear ..... either way I will enjoy it hahahaha
We finished to last of the Christmas blend coffee & started the day with a peaberry , I dont remember where it was from , but the beans were tiny when I ground them this morning, ,,,, looks like I will miss my Sunday morning kona & don carlos #3 , I still havent found a car that I like & can afford, I have found a lot I like but way to much $ , & the ones I can afford, well I just didnt want them..... so when I get to the shop I will fire up a pot of the daily grind I make at the shop every day, I might make a little kona to drink on the drive in , but I am not allowed to smoke in HER car ........... nuff said about that...... I dont want to pick the scab off of a cut ... well I have a lot to do today, no cooking we are having the left over pork & kraut from last night when I get home tonight.... so no hunk o beef for the boss today , stop at the store get my lottery tickets for the week,
( I hit for 3 Bucks this past week ) , I spend about 10 bucks a week on tickets , so for the past 20 or so years I might have made 2 or 3 hundred bucks & spent a few thousnd times more on the tickets , who knows some one hits , So I take a chance , I buy the tickets but never check them, the wife is in charge, dammmm I might have hit the big one years ago & dont even know it .... hahahaha time for me to get my @s$ in gear & get some thing done , like get dressed , hahaha Enjoy, Vince

Good to know, but they call the other grandparents Zma & zpa , my last name begines with O & there last name starts with a Z, I thought it had something to do with that , But who knows , my son in law is PURE 100% Polish , & one day one of my grandsons did some thing kind of stupid & I asked him if he was Polish? , he said he didnt know .... good enough for me !

I've always thought we should adopt the Danish way. Your paternal grandfather is "farfar" (father's father) and the grandmother is "farmor" (father's mother!) The maternal is just the reversal of the paternal, i.e. your maternal grandmoher is "mormor" (mother's mother) and the grandfather is "morfar" (mother's father.)

Makes it FAR easier to distinguish grandparents!

'Fraid I could only find this for Zpa

ZPA	Zwiazek Polek w Ameryce (Polish Women's Alliance of America)

Maybe there's a political slant?

Good Morning , it is Sunday 9 Jan.2011 a fridged cold morning here in da Burghwith a wind chill of a minus 3 F & an air temp of 12 F , it looks like I will be NOT spending any time in the Qtr.Deck today, just to costly to heat it in this kind of weather, , with the wind blowing & the skys cloudy , we will not get much help from the Sun & it will take all day to get the temp up to a comfortable level.... it is snowing right now a light fluffy snow thats easy to remove from the walkways & driveways ........ not that I will be doing any of that anytime soon hahahaha
We were awakened early Saturday by the phone , my Mother in law has been in a nursing home for 5 years & they called to tell us she was heading to the hospital via Ambulance , on top of the Althizimers she is having trouble with her heart, a verrrrry slow beat & low BP , the old pump is just wearing out , so she is in the hospital & we have been going there to calm her & let the staff do there job...... the Doc just called & they are sending her back to the nursing home , well thats a big load off my mind & a big load on the wallet.... I was hoping to have her transfered to the county home for the aged & cut back on the expence of keeping her in a private nursing home, the doc said she is as healthy as a race horse, in better shape than people half her age only problem is her mind , its just Gone , she knows NOTHING, she can read but dosent understand , she can talk but cant carry on a conversation.... she eats well has kept her weight up & walks with out help of any kind, .... she is in better shape than I am ........ that is a load off of my wifes mind, she is close to her mother & cant get over the fact she has no idea who she is ...... its a tuff way to go... But I did see my Brother in law for the first time in months when he came to visit his mother........ we have been missing each other there all summer & autumn, so it looks like we will be getting together with his 3 boys well they are all young men & fathers them selves for a cigar soon ..... his youngest son moved from Fla. Back to Pa. just before Christmas ..... dammmm what a time to get out of the Gulf coast Fla. Sunshine & back into the COLD ,DAMP, GRAY winters of Pittsburgh......... dammm what a kick in the head , I was planning on a visit to Fla. ,,,, sleep on the couch a few nights & get out of town with a tan & a few cigars ....... Oh well better luck next time !
The shop was so dammmmm slow Friday evening I left about 10 Pm , didnt make enough to cover the heating cost for the day, But Saturday , dammm went in late , people waiting for me & before the hour was up I had done more in sales than I did all day on Friday....... I just dont understand the public anymore , back when i was cooking I was able to look at the sales for the week & plan the amount of food I would need to make the next day , I never ran out of anything or never had so much I had to trash the leftovers , I was able to forcast & buy just what I needed & thereby cutting costs as there was verry little garbage or spoilage... but here dammmm I cut back people want what I cut back on , I order up & it sits on the shelf..... dammmmm Customers, there all NUTZ hahahaha
I have a hunk of beef as per the wife it is Sunday & she wants her pot roast so she gets it,,,, a happy wife is a happy life . I have a pot of Kona waiting in the press pot .... & since I dont have to go to the hospital to visit the mother in law I will be heading to the shop , as the heat is on there , no need to heat the Qtr.Deck, , But I dont want to deal with customers, I dont want them to think I will be open on Sundays .......... dammmm customers hahahaha ........ well if I do go to the shop , I will have a Don Carlos #3 as per the Sunday Morning Smoke Custom to go with the Kona I will pack a 3 finger case with a BBMF Opus X , a Padron anniv. 1964 princeape maduro & a Camacho Liberty from 2008 ...... at liest I think its a 2008...... maybe I might just let it in the humi & take a an AVO #2 ....or maybe Both of them hahahaha
I will be taking the grandsons to thier music & art lessons Monday , & smoking a fine cigar at the piano lesson ..... Tom has a heated garage & pulls the car out to give us a place to sit smoke & sip a weee dram..... My grandson gets a lesson from a world class piano teacher & I get a world class cigar out of the humi for myself & tom ..... he provides the wee dram & the heat , I supply the cigars , he is a VSG smoker & I like just about all of them, he has a slightly narrow flavor profile so I bring some thing for my self that is OUT of his taste range ,,, he likes VSG but thinks Opus X are trash , hated the Diamond Crown maximus but loved the regular line ???? enjoys padron 26's will smoke a 64 but perfers the 26.... I am happy with a bundled long filler almost anything, I am not happy with cut filler smokes , I chew my cigars way to much & hate spitting the hunks of stems & leaf out ,,,, so I try to stay with the long fillers, I do smoke a lot of seconds when I can get them, & a great bundle cigar is money in my pocket ... why pay for the box when all your going to do with it is give it away or toss it out, cant sell them all Loard knows I try to sell all the empty boxes I can , but some just end up in the trash or the bottom of the charcole grill to help light the fire ....... its about time to hit the kitchen & get the hunk of beef in the oven, the wife is almost done cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast & I want to get out there & mess it up before she gets into the sunday paper hahaha .... Enjoy, Vince
