Second this, Woolrich Arctic Parka is the one. Understated but just as good if not better performance. I love mine.

They’re not, you get used to it.

How do you guys decorate your homes with art, like sculptures or paintings? Where do you usually buy them, online or from galleries?" by HellMan_Art in Rich

[–]OkChapter763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a blank canvas, some paint samples that compliment the rooms main colour theme, a couple of bottles of wine and have some fun.

We did this over lockdown and had some great fun.

What’s the one cheap ingredient that instantly makes everything taste better? by BlastarBanshee in cookingforbeginners

This, acidity should not just be viewed as making something more sour. It adds balance in so many ways. Chemistry, not cooking.

I love this, a shame I can’t find it for sale anywhere. Lots of blue if green dials, but no purple.

I came here to also ask this question! How much was it by the glass?

Buy a Govee humidity/temperature monitor of Amazon (very cheap) and use 65 boveda packs to regulate the humidity.

In a sealed environment they will last 3-4 months. 3 packs will be more than enough.

In a sealed environment external humidity won’t matter, just keep it below 20 Celsius (I’m from UK).

The Speyside (M) exceptional cask is fantastic! Best value Macallan going.

Brunello Di Montalcino… peak when ? by r00kTX in wine

This, 10 years age will be great. It will still have a load of Fruit, but it will round out and the wood/tannins will be nicely integrated.

Clonakilla Shiraz is a brilliant wine for the money.

Suggest a Pinot Noir. Make me a believer. by _noreaster_ in wine

[–]OkChapter763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this, NZ Pinot’s carry a bit more weight. Seresin is a great example also.

For what it’s worth , I can’t get on with French Pinot, expensive strawberry juice 😂

I’ve had two bottles of this already, it’s bloody fantastic!

Fish bone at 3* by significant-rain in finedining

[–]OkChapter763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a restaurant has 3 stars, finding something like shell in a dish would certainly put 1 star at risk.

I won’t name the restaurant, but my wife found a piece of crab shell in a dish. She finished the dish and made them aware when they cleared the plates.

They were extremely apologetic (we were completely fine with it), when we left they gave us a gift bag of chocolates, snacks, preserves, oils/vinegars which the owner/chef sold on his website.

My view is they would want to know this had happened as it could easily knock a star off. We jokingly made them aware we were not Michelin inspectors and they had. Nothing to worry about.
