Dividing your meal time between McDonalds and Burger King hardly qualifies as “culinary diversity…”  Try getting out of your car to dine once and awhile… As for myself, several board members have enjoyed my culinary skills over the years and are alive to tell about it…I recall when Coss was in San Francisco and we created a meal to be envied before heading out for a (non-gay) night on the town…. 

Yessum, a good meal that was, If memory serves, I also relieved you of a bottle of California red with a really "Medieval Baronet"  label and later an after-palate of hair, carpet and cardboard...

hot water for tea and other “frightfully
 British” drinks.

Again a dated stereotype, most Brits, myself included, prefer coffee to tea. I don’t think I have drunk tea since I left my parents home, nearly 45 years ago.

While this may pass as “gourmet” in your neck of the back woods, however, our menu consisted of grilled wild game and lobster and wild caught seafoods…and I assure you, we were much better dressed. But keep fantasizing…

I had/have a lot of what is/was, apparently fairly decent wine. Most was given as a gift to me, or a perk from one of the places I worked at over the years…I had that lower end French Bordeaux, which I think you also got? Oddly, the next release was pretty decent… But hey, at $2.50/liter you can’t go wrong!

Oddly, my trip to Nepal years ago as well as my trip to London a few years back got me interested in various teas…

The Tea shops of of Burma were a part I remember well. Up in the hills from Mandalay in Maymyo now  Pyin Oo Lwin was where I spent some time. Still one of my most enjoyable trips. And tea was such a social event.

Read a great book once. Secret Histories: Finding George Orwell in a Burmese Tea shop.
