Have I ever told you how much I sincerely love Abacab? Well, I totally do.

Duke is okay, too, but after that? Straight into the crapper.

I won the self-titled Genesis LP off of the radio when I was about 14.

jesse, the abottoir thing was off the cuff inspired by "the arbiter has spoken".
dan, good to be back?
jeff, happy early birthday.
nick, the library should be your best bet. failing that there's an internet cafe on ashland just north of division across from the jewel. there used to be one on north avenue between oakley and bell but i think it's closed.

We went to a Dogfish Head beer and cheese tasting tonight. Not enough beer, but it was good.
Our fridge is extremely beer rich right now though.

HEY GUESS WHAT. I passed the character and fitness thing. I am of the requisite character to practice law in IL.
― Jenny, Saturday, 22 September 2007 01:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Good job. They should have just asked me and I would have told them that you're about as much of an asshole as any practicing attorney.
― Jesse, Saturday, 22 September 2007 01:31 (sixteen years ago) link
rather, NO MORE of an asshole
― Jesse, Saturday, 22 September 2007 01:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Well, until you get a few drinks in you.
REPORT: JUST THIS IN: CAFE IBERICO: SERIOUSLY UNDERWHELMING. Food was solidly so-so and the service was right there with the food. I'm having trouble describing the food--it was just really blah. It was spicy and stuff, but it just seemed...unfinished or something. Like it was 2 steps away from being restaurant-quality. The quail paella was pretty OK, but not outstanding.
The ice cream crepe was DE-licious though.

Whoa. Amanda Lepore's website lists amongst its benefits:
** Discounts on plastic surgery (we aren't kidding).
― Jesse, Saturday, 22 September 2007 01:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Jenny, Jeff, Sarah and I went to Cafe Iberico like ... a year ago? Longer? I kind of felt the same way as you, Jesse. It was ok but not amazing, and it's weird eating in that huge loud room.
― n/a, Saturday, 22 September 2007 01:48 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh yeh, I forgot about that. There is this woman I work with at Catch who raves on and on and on about that place. And a guy I work with was badmouthing BaBaReBa and said that for GOOD tapas, go to Iberico. Bleh.

Who's in?
― Jeff, Saturday, 22 September 2007 02:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I remember Cafe Iberico. Whatever I got, I remember it really sort of sucked.
― Jeff, Saturday, 22 September 2007 02:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Ugh, pumpkin beer. WHY
― dan m, Saturday, 22 September 2007 02:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Dogfish head pumpkin beer is the only pumpkin beer I like. It isn't just a beer with some sweet pumpkin syrup squirted in it. It's like brewed with pumpkin guts in it or something.

Most pumpkin beers are cloying or too sweet. I like bite with just slightest essence of pumpkin.
― Jeff, Saturday, 22 September 2007 03:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I've never had that one, but I'd be willing to try it because Dogfish Head makes good beer. But yeah, the sweet is what puts me off.
― dan m, Saturday, 22 September 2007 03:41 (sixteen years ago) link
I got some of their Golden Era (formerly Golden Shower) pilsner at Binny's the other day. It's fucking fantastic. $13 for a 4 pack though :((((((((((((((((((999
― Jeff, Saturday, 22 September 2007 03:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Hey, congrats to Jenny on showing some character.
Is Dogfish the brewery that had the night as Ras Dashen?
― Eazy, Saturday, 22 September 2007 03:48 (sixteen years ago) link
No, that was Two Brothers.
― jaymc, Saturday, 22 September 2007 06:19 (sixteen years ago) link
I paid $11.99 for a six-pack of 60 Minute IPA last night.
I wonder what the food is gonna be like? I would probably go.
― Jesse, Saturday, 22 September 2007 13:09 (sixteen years ago) link
11.99 is high. I think it is 8.99 or 9.99 at whole foods right now.
― Jeff, Saturday, 22 September 2007 13:58 (sixteen years ago) link
I love beer. I love dinner. I love beer dinners.
― Jenny, Saturday, 22 September 2007 14:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Does anybody have a good recipe for lemon bars?
― Jenny, Saturday, 22 September 2007 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Happy Birthday, Jeff.
― dan m, Saturday, 22 September 2007 15:11 (sixteen years ago) link
Happy BD, J.
A guy I work with makes outstanding lemon bars, but I don't have the recipe. So, no.

There was a New Holland Brewery (makers of Mad Hatter, Lucid Kolsch, etc.) beer dinner at the Fireside Grill recently that we thought about going to but didn't.
― jaymc, Saturday, 22 September 2007 16:13 (sixteen years ago) link
I love beer dinners.
― Jeff, Saturday, 22 September 2007 16:39 (sixteen years ago) link
All your beer dinners, give them to me.
They belong to me.
You guys ... I didn't fuck up the GRE. :)
― n/a, Saturday, 22 September 2007 16:40 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't have the scores for the written part yet, obviously, but my total for the math and verbal section was the exact same as my old SAT scores, and the section scores were almost exactly the same (+10 on one, -10 on the other). SO JAZZED.

You know what this means...
