[TheForge] The hard cider is good... OT:

Hmmm.  Mixing Drambuie and Scotch is traditional with some.  I knew a
guy in So. Cal. many years ago who took that as his drink of choice.
To be sipped.  Of course, he also took his Tahiti Ketch into the ocean
off San Diego whenever they announced a small craft advisory, and he
drank hot coffee to cool off.

You'd'a liked him, Andy.  Your kinda guy.  Renovated a Porsche.  One
evening he heard noise in his driveway and went out with his pistol,
ended up shooting out the back window and side mirror of a couple
pilferers who were trying to steal a wheel from his car.  He didn't
aim for the kids, but messed up their rich daddy's car pretty bad.
They must have had some interesting explaining to do when they got
back home to Beverly Hills, or whatever rich burb they were from.  The
police stopped by afterwards and chided him that he really shouldn't
shoot at thieves w/in city limits, but didn't seem too upset about the
whole thing.

As to those wimpy enameled French AGA's -- get yourself a Vulcan
instead!   If the 6-burner, single-oven job below isn't enough for
you, they make a 12-burner double oven model as well.  And they make
gas as well as electric models.
