Techniques - Vol 4, No. 5

[Rusty]

If there's another thread on this, I missed it,

my copy arrived in the mail today

Rusty :)

[jlwilm]

Rusty,

Must be your clean life style and endearing personality! :)

Not here yet, but the Subscriber Area - Extras are there.

waiting patiently . . .

[Byron Gale]

Drinks are on Rusty!!!!

I think an ice-cold Bohemia with lime will get me started... ;)

[jlwilm]

Well, this is the right forum.

Saw a neat gadget for getting the lime in the bottle here (http://www.citrusblaster.com/)

The proclaimed mission of these guys is:

All 4 Fun invents, designs, manufactures and distributes unique impulse gadgets that consumers want but don’t really need.

My kinda gadget. :)

P.S. I saw one of these in action. It really works.

[Wendy]

Hey ...

It Party Time !!!

I think that I will have a dry white wine ... :)

Wendy

[NMarti]

Rusty
Did it come by boat? :eek: Hopefully you are high and dry in your part of Wisconsin.

[quillabee9]

I'm heading for the liquor cabinet, Bombay with an ever so slight touch of very dry vermouth. Then I probably won't worry about when I'll get mine.

[billz]

Iced triple espresso for me please Rusty. (... and maybe a wee dish of custard later on:D)

Bill

[Red Sky]

I would like an IPA (India Pale Ale Christine;)) with the base malt being Maris Otter Pale. Additional grains should be dextrin, wheat and Vienna. A single infusion mash at 152 degrees, held for an hour is fine. Bittering hops Magnum, with flavor and aroma being Cascade, of course. Some British Ale yeast is fine. If none of this is available I will have a MICKEY's Big Mouth.

[Ellen]

Is there still Point beer?

[AngelicKim]

Yeah something to look forward to when I get back next week. I'll place my order then if its not here by then.

Edit: Just checked out the extras that weren't there yesterday. Looks like it will be another great issue. Can't wait.

[Rusty]

Yes, Ellen, Point is alive and well.

I happen to have, today, Sea Dog, India Pale Ale from, would you believe, the State of Maine. Bought it yesterday at Trader Joe's

I hope the Miller Police or Sprecher Police don't catch me.

Rusty

[Inspeqtor]

Well... I checked my mailbox today, and sad to say... there is no Newsletter in my hands as of today. Maybe tomorrow? ***sigh*** :(

[jlwilm]

Me to, Oh well, time for another brew!

Make mine a Guinness Extra Stout, & keep them coming:D http://bestsmileys.com/drinks/1.gif

[Tina_B]

I got mine today with plenty of time to read it with all the rain here in Wisconsin.
Long Island Ice Tea please!!
Tina B

[Byron Gale]

Tina - you've got it sdrawkcab... those who receive the magazine buy the drinks for those who are still waiting... :D

Byron

[Teacher617]

A nice glass of merlot, please.

I'm very curious to see if there is a pattern in geographic location for newsletter delivery. I'm going to jot down the locations of anyone who posts in this thread that they've received their new issue of PET. I'll do it in the order in which comments are posted. I know it won't be totally scientific, but it might be fun to find out what the scoop is. :)

Tricia

[Tina_B]

Well it is a round for the house on me!! I got so excited to party that I forgot I already had my copy.
Tina B

[Wendy]

Hi Tina ....

As long as you are buying the drinks then stay andd party !! ..

OK a dry white whine for me and did anyone bring nibbles with them ???

By the way what sort of party nibbles do you usually serve at drinks parties ???

Wendy

[Lorri]

No newsletter here just yet.

And I'll take a bottle--yes, an entire BOTTLE--of whatever you're serving that has a lot of kick.

It's shaping up to be a long weekend.

[virgo1]

Drinks are on me now, it was in this mornings mail. It made it to the UP in record time.
Eva;)

[Rusty]

Hey Eva,
You're back! What's this, it takes a PET Newsletter to get a rise out of you?
You have been missed.

Are you escaping all the rain in the UP?

Rusty

[lisabee]

My copy arrived this morning here in the UK, perfect timing for the long weekend :)

Lisa

[Teacher617]

Received my copy today .... YESSSSSSSS!!

Tricia

[nkeevers]

Yea!! Got my copy and have already read it...starting on a 2nd time now. Got my Pinot in hand and I'm going for some munchies. Personally, I like peanuts, Sunchips, pretzels, mostly I'm not fussy!

[kimi_boo]

Oh Rusty.... how wonderful of you to play host this time around. :)

I could go for a long tall glass of orange juice. :p

[elizabeth]

WHAT!! You got it in the UK before we got it in Canada. Oh, it is hard to be in the Provinces.

To console myself I think I will let steven treat me to an IPA. Thanks for providing the detailed descriptions, steven. I have always (well lately, anyway) wondered what IPA stands for. now I know.

I patiently await my copy.

elizabeth

[dsfisher421]

Hoorah, guess I can help serve. Mine arrived today. I think this is the fastest I have ever seen mine arrive after the first arrival notice.

[msbrad]

Golly, I missed the thread and the start of the party!
Mine arrived on the 23rd. I've got plenty of beer to contribute (left from Bill's birhtday party). However I'll share the white wine too.
m

[Bayla]

Mine also arrived in the UK this morning!:) But I'm off to bed now so you'll have to party without me....

Bayla

[Tom K]

HooRay.... Made it to Connecticut, now to sit down and drink and read or read and drink, whichever comes first... Tom :D

[sydneysnana]

Here you are..... I could'nt find the party. Mine came today and we went to the Seahawks game so tomorrow I will savor mine.... My a morning read with a Bloody Mary:D;) please
Michelle

[branch124]

I just got Volume 4 Number 4 the other week!! Maybe because someone had to row it in a canoe to get it here? Just kidding. I'm hoping it's so late just because I signed up for it right after it's release and that my next issue is coming very soon!

[hukari]

Good deal, Rusty!

Since I just got up, I'll take a nice hot steaming cappuccino, please!

[Wendy]

Nothing here yet ... so a dry white wine for me please :)

Wendy

[robpendragon]

Just got back from my mail box & low & behold I got mine. This makes an awesome issue for my dragon work;)

[AngelicKim]

Got home late last night and checked the mail as soon as I got out of the truck in hopes of a newsletter and no luck. So still waiting in mid-west Michigan. Eva glad it has arrived in the UP. Since it in mid-afternoon right now I'll have Pepsi but this evening if it doesn't arrive today please make that a white wine.:D

[tootie501]

My issue arrived today - so it's made it as far as Northern Illinois!

[jlwilm]

Got mine today in Ottawa, Ontario! :)

Gotta stop playing with that Impressionist filter. :D

[ChristineV]

How exciting that it is on it's way!

Not here in the DFW area yet so I will have an Ultimate Leaning Belini :rolleyes: I wonder how many carbs are in it LOL

[jojo99]

Mine arrived today :D
It was so quick I didn't even get a chance to join the party!
I'm very impressed with how fast it arrived here.
Jo

[AngelicKim]

Guess I'll have to pour my own glass of wine. Vol4 No. 5 arrived this afternoon.

[TonyW]

Mine arrived today too. Anyone else notice Dave Huss' little joke on his magazine cover. At that Canadian dollar price I can't imagine there would be too many customers for it up here - and we have a law against price gouging on US produced books and mags :)

Tony

[mrod]

It landed in my box today as well. And Tony, yes, I did catch that, although not until the second look-through. I figured there must be something funny in there, but just read the "article" titles the first time through. :)

Mike

[Byron Gale]

Mine arrived today :D...WHAT!?!

It made it to Ireland before California!!!???

That does it. I'm moving up to tequila!! I'll have a shot of Herradura Añejo with a couple drops of lime juice, please.

[GaryK]

Tony

Bob (the postal truck driver) must be taking a different route these days.
Seems like I am behind you lately.:)

I'm on vacation this week so I'll have whatever you feel like serving.;)

[Inspeqtor]

Woohoo! Mine arrived today here in Northern Indiana!!!! :D

[NMarti]

Yeahhhhhh - mine came today! Set em up - I'm having anything with lots of ice. It's 97 here today.

[ChristineV]

Make mine a double .. still a no show in Texas :(

[jazzfisher]

Got mine yesterday!:)

[RobertSchuldenfrei]

Hi Everyone,

I will be opening a bottle of Blackstone Merlot with dinner tonight. It seemed like I was the last person on earth to get number 4. Within a week of this thread's start I got number 5. A tip of the hat to the PET distribution crew.

Cheers,

Bob

[vawitt]

Showed up in northern IL on Saturday the 25th - just now posting today. Does that mean I get an extra glass of sangria?? :D:D

~Val in sunny IL

[jojo99]

WHAT!?!

It made it to Ireland before California!!!???

That does it. I'm moving up to tequila!! I'll have a shot of Herradura Añejo with a couple drops of lime juice, please.
Byron, never mind the tequila, just move to Ireland and have a guinness instead :D

[TonyW]

Jo: Now you're talking. Here's how I celebrated in Canada with my favourite Irish Cider - Bulmers to you, Magners to us :).

1373

Tony

[Rusty]

Tony,

I sure hope Irish Cider isn't anything like that Strongbow stuff I made the mistake of ordering once :p :p

The barkeep took pity. After I had one sip, and it sat there for about ten minutes, he picked it up, dumped it into the sink, gave me a smile and, "Guv, may I suggest a nice lager?"

Rusty :)

[Pauline]

Got mine today. :D And not an hour after that the courior was at the door with the prize I won from Corel Painter magazine (Corel painter X in the limited edition can with training dvd and book) Today was a good day!

[quillabee9]

finally made it to the Willamette Valley. Got mine today. So what's the next round going to be?

[Fernan]

I got mine today!

[GaryK]

Just got in from MORE preschool shopping and mine was in the mailbox.

I'll set a round up for everybody.. after I have mine.. this shopping is driving me to drink.:D:D

5 more days.:twisted:

[ChristineV]

Still not here in Texas .. I think it is making up for me getting it so early last time ... :confused:

[epaul6]

Arrived in Sacramento, CA today.

[Pauline]

Hey Gary I hear you on the shopping thing.......between college and high school..........sheesh..........I just finished writing out $300 worth of cheques for high school!! Year books, student id's, art supply fees.......transportation for co-op! I always forget I need a new cheque book for September. :( Tomorrow it's off to Humber for orientation and Sam will be purchasing her books for college.............I won't think about that one tonight.

[CarolR]

Mine arrived today in So. AZ. Can't wait to get into it!

[Lorri]

I've run home from the hospital long enough for a quick shower and a peek at the mail. Elements newsletter arrived sometime in the last two days. I'm saving it for tonight's late night bedside reading at the hospital.

I had to laugh a couple of nights ago when my husband woke up and saw me reading through an old newsletter. He managed "Oh, good, you got your adobe magazine!" before he drifted back to sleep.

I'm changing my drink order from an entire bottle of anything to some sort of nice warm adult beverage. It's COLD in his room!

[Byron Gale]

Oh, sweet bliss... it has arrived!

In honor of Lorri's request for something warm -- Irish Coffee is being served.

[ChristineV]

Mine finally arrived! Can't wait to go through it in the Van while waiting for the boys to get out of school!

[John L Gray]

The Newsletter just arrived in Milwaukie, OR. Off to read the newsletter cover to cover with the help of a micro brew.:D

John

[efarnstrom]

I haven't been on this site for a few days and totally forgot it is time for the new issue. I was taking time to read everyone's orders when it dawned on me that I hadn't been to the mailbox yet today! So you know what I am going to say? I got it!! Central California is earlier than in times past. Okay, what's the drink orders now? I'm having white wine from our region.

[baderms]

Mine's here. 1st read will be tonight. Cheers...

[mayva]

Boy oh Boy, You would think Pennsylvania was on the other side of the world........I always get mine way after everyone else........Oh well it's here and I'm glad.......:)

[cricket331]

Mine arrived on Thursday. Funny story, there was a copy stuck to mine and it belonged to a neighboor who also subscribes. What a small world:). We live on the same street, only 2 blocks away from each other. Our addresses are similar just in different places. I got such a kick out of it.

[nolanc]

Got mine yesterday :D

Was playing today :D

Now you have an excuse to use some of those liquids I seen around here:rolleyes:

I had another copy stuck to mine too. It was for someone in a town about 25 miles away. I just stuck it back in the "Out of Town" mailbox at our post office, I hope it made it to its correct destination. Haven't had a chance to play with the new techniques yet, but it looks like a lot of fun!

[kimi_boo]

I am still waiting for mine in Louisiana. :(

It's early here, can I have a glass of Orange Juice, please. :rolleyes:

[Lorri]

Odd...I also received someone else's newsletter along with my own.

[chas3stix]

Vol.4#5 hasn't arrived as of yet.....:(
How about a green tea frapp for me?
Chas
