The Five People I Would Like to have at MySideOfTheBar

I have been fortunate enough to have met and had a smoke/drink with a few of my “idols” here at MySideOfTheBar, most notable thus far are Glenn Case of Kristoff Cigars and Al Young of Four Roses Bourbon.


As I was sitting and enjoying a Cocktail and a Cigar the other night I was thinking, who would I most like to meet and chat with over a Cigar or Drink?



Charlie Sheen: I will have to admit until two of the Usual Suspects turned me on to “Two and a Half Men” I really did not know anything about Charlie’s character, Charlie Haper, but S. and C. O. kept saying “You are Charlie”. Well to tell you the truth I am still not convinced. It is true that I have been wearing bowling shirts and have been a germ a phoebe and have enjoyed good Alcohol and Cigars long before seeing a single episode. Now that I think about it that is quite the coincidence, or not? Charlie’s character aside I think he would be a great individual to site and have a Cigar and a Scotch with at MySideOfTheBar.

Billy Bob Thornton: Not only has Mr. Thornton been in a few of my all time favorite movies (Bad Santa, Monsters Ball and The Alamo to name a few) but he has also  been involved with some of the best looking women both on and off the screen (Halie Berry and Angelina Jolle to name two) To me Billy Bob would seem to be down to earth and could be one of the few individuals who could drink me under MySideOfTheBar.

Bruce Willis: Yes there are some connections with Bruce and Billy Bob I will not elaborate on, however you have to admit that Bruce has played some of the manliest characters ever in his movies and is know to enjoy great Cigars. He is also involved in many, many charitable projects and seems really genuine.  Who knows, I might even get to meet Demi ;)

Shorty Rossi: Shorty is an original self-made man who has gone from convict to a public figure who is evolved in several great charities. Now I am not a fan of reality TV and have never seen his show, Pit Boss, however you have to give Shorty Kudos for his work with rescuing dogs and his company that promotes the talents of “Little People” In his interview’s Shorty appears to real and I would enjoy sharing sitting and enjoying a smoke and drink with him and just listen to what he has to say..


Bob Kevoian: Yes, Bob of the Bob and Tom show. Bob is a Beer Drinking, Cigarette Smoking,  lover of women’s breast. What is not to like? Bob seems as if he could walk into a bar, sit have a beer and not be affected by his celebrity status.
So there you have it, my Fab 5 to site with at MySideOfTheBar. Who would you choose?

Some of you may notice that there are no women on this list. Well that is another list I have. Central Patti and I both had a list of 5 people we have a “hall pass” with and while Central Patti has on her list many young celebrity hunks, I am more practical. My list includes, Jennifer Aniston and the 4 hot neighbor ladies ;)

Riding the Rails, Clickety Clack

A few weeks back we took the Amtrak from K.C. to Naperville Ill. and as usual we had a great time. If you have never taken the opportunity to travel by train you do not know what you are missing. I recommend for your first trip nothing over four hours just in case you may not enjoy train travel. Also this will keep the price at a minimum and I recommend choosing your travel dates that are not during the peek seasons. (From around June 15th to August 15th.) to avoid high ticket prices You will be pleasantly surprised by the size of the train cars and the size of the seats. The cars are two levels with the lower level where you put your luggage when boarding, handicap seating and the rest room/changing rooms. We generally sit in the club car (now called the observation car) where they have many booths and seats and then entire care is plexieglass so you can see the beautiful sites as you travel. You can even carry on your own food and drinks and yes this means you can carry on your own

Cigar Infusion

Image
For those of you who follow MySideOfTheBar, you undoubtedly remember some posts on infusing Alcohol (See Jan 10 – Infused Vodka Part I and August 23 – Infused Vodka Part 2 ). So it seemed logical for us to attempt infusing cigars. Now infused cigars are no strangers here as Central Patti enjoys them often. One of her favorites is CAO’s Moontrance as well as a Hazel Nut/Coffee cigar. I started by fresh roasting some coffee beans from Ethiopia. The reason I choose those particular beans is that when roasted properly they are very, very oily and I believe they would be just right for infusing cigars. I took an empty cigar box and placed two cigars ( Graycliff Avelino Lara ) the fresh roasted and ground coffee beans and a small bowl of water. The cigars were a light tobacco which I hoped would absorb more flavor than a darker cigar might. The water was to not only assist with humidity, but to also aide in the infusing process. I left the cigars in the box for about 3 weeks checking ev

The Key West Cocktail Challenge

Image
Recently we were on the road with MySideOfTheBar in Key West with a couple of "Unusual Suspect" friends of ours. As you might expect we were in a bar when A.S. found a brochure for the Key West Cocktail Challenge. Also as you might expect we took up the challenge. The premise was easy, visit 6 participating bars, enjoy their signature cocktail and you get a T-Shirt. You can visit them in any order and take as long as you need to. (you could even do it in 6 days, but...) I am not going to try to describe each bar as you can follow the links to see and learn more. The first stop was The Green Parrot Bar . The Green Parrot is an open air old school bar that I absolutely loved. Their signature drink was Root Beer Barrel and at least two of us liked it ;) Stop two took us to Charlie Mac's and beside the great Signature Drink, it is also a BBQ joint. We only had the chicken wings, however they were awesome. The drink here was the Huckleberry Lemonade and I have to
