I imagine it will be a slow day around these parts, with all the byes this week. Too bad, it's cold outside, perfect weather to get a long simmering stew on for some good eats later. Though my wife is requesting fried pork chops, so I should probably oblige.

Down to 35°F last night, but will be sunny today and very nice. Somebody said something about cocktails and a party on TV, so I'll watch that I guess.

Does anybody here still call a drink a cocktail instead of a mixed drink, or whatever you call it? I don't think the term is oft used in regular parlance.

Landed in Atlanta two night ago. Drive down to Auburn and this morning waking up to head over to campus for the big tailgating event. Kickoff Vs Ole Miss later this evening.

I regularly use the word cocktail when talking about drinks

Interesting, I usually hear "mixed drink" offered, not cocktail, but this could obviously be regional.

I used to see the term "high balls" on some restaurant menus in Cincy, the older neighborhood places.

gonna be a beautiful sunny 50 degrees here. Perfect fall day. Probably should be looking for my golf ball in the leaves this afternoon

the 11am kick for the Huskers, doesn't give time for golfing

I suppose I could throw in the towel on this season and record the game for later, but I'm having a couple guys over to watch the game.

We will be enjoying cocktails and snacks. Rotel and Velveeta cheese dip, shrimp cocktail with some good horseradish, and beef sticks.

Bloodies to start (horseradish), followed by plenty of beer, finishing with the Japanese Roku gin!

We do hear "shrimp cocktail" fairly often. And there is fruit cocktail, which I have not had in years.

The wife loves raw oysters, but with mignonette sauce instead of cocktail sauce. She has converted me, I think the regular sauce overwhelms the flavor (which at times might be desirable). I still kid her about seeing that sign for "Fresh Fried Oysters" in South Carolina. That isn't a thing in France.

One great thing about this country is how we have adopted all sorts of food items from other places, same with wine. In France, a wine shop will be 95% French wines and a few from Italy and Germany. Here we'll have entire sections for different countries and regions.

Morning. I got Sportscenter on in the background of note...

Desmond still calling people by the wrong name.

Maryland's Throwback Uniform this week is 10x less ugly than their current.

UCF's NASA Uniform is all kinds a nerd awesome. Helmet has the light and dark side of the moon. Jersey's has constellations embroidered into it. Pants have the Apollo 11 USA Rocket font.

Cool NASA uniforms, but weird that UCF is wearing them. Because they happen to be the nearest city of a decent size in Orlando? Can Nebraska wear Mt. Rushmore unis?

I bought a bunch of different meats yesterday, so I'll cook up something or other for the WLOCP. Should be a good game.

I had to google mignonette sauce

I'm a fan of Oysters on the half shell. Probably because they are rare in this part of the country. I haven't had the opportunity for the mignonette sauce, but I'd love to try it.

from the web...........

By the way, according to him, “mignonette” translates roughly into “cute, small, and tasty”, and that’s exactly what this is.

If you like the taste of oysters, it's great stuff instead of that gloppy ketchup with horseradish added stuff. If you don't, well, ...

I was told many times the oysters in Brittany were exceptional and unique, but I did not find that to be the case. They are certainly very good and we bought them from an oyster farmer very fresh, and that was great, but they tasted like oysters to me. I do not have the most refined taste buds in the world. I think my sense of smell was degraded by all the chemicals I worked with many of which were organosulfur types that did not smell good at all.

FearlessF · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2019, 09:18:25 AM »

with a table at dinner at a spot that has fresh oysters I like to get a half dozen of 3 or 4 types from different areas

I can taste the differences and usually can pick a favorite

I also enjoy the fried or baked oysters and love oyster stew. I brew a mean batch of oyster stew each Xmas eve

Cincydawg · « **Reply #13 on:** November 02, 2019, 09:24:55 AM »

Yeah, I can taste subtle differences, but the wife raves about some and poo poos others, while to me they all taste about as good, I rarely have favorites.

Part of this is that I was in the habit of EATING and she was in the habit of DINING. I raised three kids by myself and dinner was a "get'er done" operation.

She raised four kids by herself and somehow managed to DINE.
