Strategy, chief, strategy.

A. If some fool actually gives me 3 large for it, I'll go get another one for half that and bank the rest.
B. If a nice Midget or B can be had in an even-up trade, I'm one step closer to getting Kate behind the wheel - and she'll look STUNNING pulling into work in one.
C. If it doesn't move, I'll have a VERY LOUD 78 lb. side table in my retirement that I'll have to have the neighbor kid move in order to sweep behind it.

It's a no-lose situation.

When you build a race car, you have to keep nourished.  And as I'm building a British car, I figured some proper pub grub might help me develop some ethereal insight into the mystical engineering methods brought to bear on the Midget.

I pulled out my tattered copy of "The Complete and Unabridged Culinary Art of the British Isles" and studied it cover to cover.  Took about 15 minutes – it's only eight pages, three of which are advertising.

Anyway, seeing as St. Patty's day is right around the corner, and about the only thing the Brits and the Irish can agree upon is Bangers and Mash, I called my butcher and asked if they could grind up some bangers for me.  God only knows what's in them, but after three weeks, he was able to source the proper spices and filler, and this morning, I picked up 3 lb's. 

Breakfast of champions!


Irish variation.


Now – back to the garage.

Chris, My advice would be to stick to the 'canned' and 'bottled' portion of the meal! :-D

Good call - wish I had seen it before I ate.  Seems the "ethereal insight" has turned me into a tail gunner . . .  :oops:

Looks good, Chris! :cheers:

That certainly makes more sense than what I was thinking  :-D:

Don't know, Buddy - your idea might be safer . . .

Just out... the best 5 beers in a can.  There's one in your area.  How's it for a breakfast drink?

CynicAle 16 oz

If you're in Minneapolis, head to any good liquor store for a four-pack of Surly Brewing Co tall boys. Surly offers all of its yearly and seasonal beers in cans, but we like the CynicAle the best. It's a Belgian beer, so it's light and crisp and perfect for summer. A note: If you're not in the Twin Cities, it's tough to find, so we suggest you start making friends from Minneapolis now.

Now about that thing you are building... go with 38flattie's plan  :-D

I prefer Surly Furious and stock up on it while in the cities :cheers:

:?

I've spent a little time in Minneapolis, and I was unaware that there WAS a good liquor store.

We always made runs to LaCrosse.

Of course, I'm a bit spoiled here in Beerhaven . . .
