Dry_bean First car I ever owned was a Singer, paid 10 quid for it, nothing very precious about it as I recall. How is the show going Brett, you mentioned opening night approaching a week or so ago, have been wondering? ;D
Brett_H Cheers mate! The show was really well recieved and a brilliant experience. The next one is Sunday (different show)! I'm out the front a bit longer with this one so extra pressure. I'll be pretty quiet until then!

askthecoffeeguy My aunty is a famous country singer in new Zealand must say I prefer that to my other aunt who sings opera (perhaps not particularly well now offence aunty!)
bes900fan I tried doing this as a deconstructed preparation. I extracted the coffee into a ceramic cup to drink, and then put an appropriate amount of butter on some freshly toasted sourdough. Really wonderful, and recommend it for those that haven't had the opportunity. For those that want to take an extra step, after you apply the butter to the sourdough you can add a thin spread of vegemite.
FreshCoffee2 For me the Ultimate constituent in the above has to be the VEGEMITE! Perfect. Looking at "deconstructions".... if these are were to be "true" deconstructions , I guess it wouldn't be kosha to mix them at all before ingestion... ingredients should go down separately for amalgamation in the gut, and each eatery would need a "deconstruction policeman" to keep an eye out for recalcitrant patrons lest they put the ingredients together beforehand. This will help the economy by providing more jobs, and raise revenue (client fines for amalgamating ingredients before ingestion) so the Liberals dont need to give the big end of town tax breaks... Everyone's a winner :stir
obnic You'll try anything once right... Like butter, love coffee. Never will those two meet again in the same cup. Apparently I'm not prepared to try Vegemite in coffee. Seems there is a line after all. And in this country its Marmite anyway! [emoji1]
stevenson That sounds really fat and unhealthy, but I bet it tastes amazing. Maybe I should try it out, I guess it would be a bit like honey but a different taste.
askthecoffeeguy what about making a latte and then pouring it through a piece of freshly buttered toast into a vessel underneath? and then dipping the toast in the resulting beverage? sure that would still be more palatable than the alternative?
FreshCoffee2 yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk...... 😉 Notwithstanding all of the above, I am very much enjoying a bottle of 8 year cask matured scotch whiskey at the moment. And after that I have a single malt to move on to... :stir
askthecoffeeguy Im working my way through an 18yr old blended whisky ATM followed by a 300th anniversary edition of Martell Cordon Blue!
FreshCoffee2 Hmmmm, I can feel a side by side tasting coming on. Would love a comparo between an 8 year old and an 18 year old 🙂
mycuppa Just wondering if a 12 YO Chivas unopened for 20+ years counts as a 32 YO ? Amazing what you can find in the bottom of a cupboard along with computer parts from the 1990's. Anyone need a 80486 motherboard ? Cracked it open Friday night......managed to remove the hair growing in my nostrils. Can honestly say it was not really that nice and maybe I can use it to remove coffee stains from the cooling tray.

FreshCoffee2 Yup a "fresh" Chivas is a nice drop. Don't know about whiskey that has been left in a bottle for an indeterminate time because I've never dont that. Its there, so I drink it. I am in the happy position now to be able to organise a side by side tasting of four different whiskeys. This will be for Personal (rather than professional) Development ;D and I readily acknowledge that the tasting will prove absolutely.......nothing...! Because it will only bring to light that they all taste or have a character that is different to each other, and wont be able to prove one way or another that one is "better" than any other. Just that they're different. A lot like coffee actually, despite the absolutely crazy observations on different coffees and "brands" sometimes made by people that really shouldn't comment... So. An 8 yo Highland Earl blended scotch VS a 12 yo Dimple blended scotch VS a Glen Livet single malt "distillers reserve" of indeterminate age VS a 12 yo Glen Grant single malt. Its not the end result but the getting there that really counts !
mycuppa I suspect the unplanned aging of the Chivas did it no favor whatsoever......it's very "big" in every regard.....in fact too big with a bat to the back of the head type "big". FC.....my money is on the Glen Grant as being the most enjoyable........but perhaps it might depend upon the sequence you taste them......which ironically can occur with coffees !
