    Absolut Cilantro?
    SWMBO threw it in the cart.  She said she heard it's good in bloodys.   She did it for me - doesn't like them herself.

    @NPHuskerFL - It should be a good shin-dig, but so far no eggers have fully committed.  Hopefully @SGH will drop by and cook his nuclear crawfish.   I am supplying all the food and drink.  People need only to show up.  We do dinner parties of some sort almost weekly - the eggs are central to good times.  I don't do many weekend day cooks, I have an old friend in town and between that and the end of the crawfish season, thought it would be fun.

    @nolaegghead‌ if I wasn't so far away you can best bet I'd be rolling up on that scene. Sounds like a Hellava good time!

    @NPHuskerFL - I'd welcome you here if that were the case my friend.  The only caveat is rain, but I have roofs, so we'll be fine, rain or shine.

    @nolaegghead‌ calling an event off for rain this time of year in FL, LA (the southern seaboard) is a no no. Rain is expected almost daily so unless it's TS or Hurricane induced I'm with you. Party On!

    If the answer to that question is "no", I don't know whether I should be reassured - or very afraid.

    @Foghorn - I'm only 1/4th Gaelic, so I'm wearing a 1/4 length mini-kilt.  So the latter.

    Now I'm worried. Booze and mini-kilts are not a good mix...

    I worry about that kilt wearer. He knows not how they are to be worn. Insulting the heritage he is.

    What are you talking about?  I'm a certified kilt-wearer.  I used to be an apprentice, but stuck with the program after years of toil and hard work.

    That was put on me as a prop for a photo by Springhen.   And it wasn't a real kilt anyway.  I know this because I used the training.

    OK, if any of you NOLA folks like Tequila... I just scored a great deal on Olmeca Altos Tequila.  This stuff.

    At International Market, there's a bunch of cases of it marked at $5.99/bottle.  I bought over a case of the reposado and a bottle of the alto.  750mL bottles, 80 proof, 100% agave.  Also, everything on the front row here was $5.99.   Throwing a party, why not stock up?

    I just threw up in my mouth a little- the agave did me wrong awhile ago and I can't shake it

    One butt is off, other is almost there.  Picking up crawfish at 11.  We have one brave local egghead - Tonytiger - he's bringing me some OO and Rockwood from the hardware store by his house - I've never tried them.  Anyway, he's coming over for the boil with his wife, looking forward to meeting him.

    Damn, I was going to bring you some OO from Firecraft if I can get away.  Where do they have that stuff locally?

    @buzd504 - Apparently there's an Ace by where Tonytiger lives that has Rockwood and OO.  I'll ask him the name, I don't remember.
