A beautiful evening with temps around 80 or so.  I retired to the back deck, and I smoked just the third bowl in the new Peterson Moran (British Woods mixture) and found it just fine.  It was accompanied by a glass of Teacher's with a splash, which is my everyman's libation when the budget precludes single malt.  Finishing the pipe, I decided I was hungry, and so (did I mention that my good wife is out of town?) I called upon my trusty pizza delivery boy, a supreme on thin crust, medium.  I was already well into the second scotch when it arrived, and I must say it was scrumptious.  Pizza and scotch; ******!
 
I do, don't I? Tonight it was pot of steamers (steamers in Kansas? I'd like to say they were from one of those flown-in-fresh seafood joints, but actually they were from Sam's) with some left over macaroni salad and a bottle of fairly cheap but actually pretty good chardonnay. All in all it wasn't bad, but the pipeful of My Mixture made it better.
 
Oooooh Pizza, I can't recall the last time I had a nice Pizza, wish I'd been there with you, seems like you have a wonderful evening, more power to you Brother. :)
 
Pizza, steamed clams, macaroni salad, Chardonnay, and scotch. I bet your spouse was glad to be out of town, as the after effects must have been something!!! :lol!:

And that folks...is a fact!
 
Well, they weren't all at once!  Give me a little credit (although I don't deserve much) :D !  Tonight my lovely daughter fixed me a nice speghetti dinner accompanied by a couple glasses of red; very tame!
 
This sounds like what the world was originally meant to be as described in the story of the Garden of Eden. Adam would sit contentedly with his pipe, tobak and and fiddlers three, and, when the spirits moved him, he could summon deliverers bearing pizza, baked chickens, steak on a stick, whisky, beer and cannolis. Women would be available, all lookalikes of Amy Adams. They would not bring with them lists of tedious tasks to be performed and would speak only when there was a need to do so and even then only in soft, pleasant tones. Cannolis? HMmmmmm.

I'm not sure you mean Amy Adams (which certainly would be acceptable)...



Or, since you may be younger than I, Edie Adams (who still makes me want to smoke Muriel cigars after all these many years)...



I like the way you think!

You just had to get my pacemaker into overspeed this morning, didn't ya', with that pic of Amy Adams???
 
I meant Amy! I've been smitten ever since I saw the movie "Sunshine Cleaners," and she appeared in the first scene walking toward the camera, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, with a big plastic bag of garbage slung over her shoulder. And she just absolutely glowed! In Doubt, she played a young nun and all she wore throughout the movie was a nun's habit. The only thing that showed in the entire movie was her face. She kept right up with co-star Meryl Streep (also portraying a nun) and she was the most charming nun I ever saw. I think her most recent was "Trouble With the Curve" with Clint Eastwood, who sabotoged the release with a clumsy effort to be funny at the Republican convention. I'd cast Amy as Eve any day. You wouldn't have to spend screen time 'splaining why Adam chose the dang apple.

Mmmmm. I be thinking you're smoking more than just 'baccy in your pipe :twisted: :twisted: 
 
And, if you are a true Edie Adams fan, you'll recognize her on the left of the screen.  Truly a fox ... at least most of the time.

Nooo. I'm endorsing the solitary "Life is Good" approach to enjoying pipery expressed in Idlefellow's post. Sometimes pipers can jump the shark with brands and tech stuff, myself included.
