Thread: Sept: What Fine Thing did you eat drink or smoke today?

Went apple picking with my family in southern Maine today.

Beautiful Fall day. My 3 1/2 year old son, and 2 year old daughter had a blast.

Laid in the grass in the shade of the apple trees and ate a few. Juicey, fresh from the tree. Can't be beat!

Apple pie/cobbler is on the immediate horizon too!

I am at a loss for words to sum up the heart filling joy and comfort that these dishes bring me. Particularly Apple Pie with a nice slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Sir, you have brought a dreamy smile to my face! I defer to the great Eugene Field:

Your flavored creams and ices
And your dainty angel-food
Are mighty fine devices
To regale the dainty dude;
Your terrapin and oysters,
With wine to wash ‘em down,
Are just the thing for roisters
When painting of the town;
No flippant, sugared notion
Shall my appetite appease,
Or bate my soul’s devotion
To apple-pie and cheese!

He concludes with my exact sentiment:

...But I, when I undress me
Each night, upon my knees
Will ask the Lord to bless me
With apple-pie and cheese!

Apple pie and cheese? Hmmm...hadn't heard of that before.

We ended up with apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream



We all went back for seconds!

Apple Pie with cheddar cheese is awesome. When i first heard of it, i thought people were insane. Now i know better and tell you all to give it a shot.

Currently enjoying a Vega Talanga Oscuro out on the deck...my smoking lounge is under construction but should be ready to rock next week (I hope).

Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva lonsdale.

With out a doubt, my favorite style of lunch is the good ol' Antipasto board. This one was absolutely sublime!

-Homemade mini dill pickles with red pepper
-Mozzarella di Bufala Campana
-Picholine olives
-Spicy Cappacola di Parma

Washed down with a Wexford Irish Creme Ale.

Honey wheat pancakes, a long hot shower, a wonderful shave (Semogue #730, Proraso, W&B Bow) while listening to Kamelot, and now I'm off to the deck for an Olivia Serie O Maduro.
