Port and Cheese

[jack]

On friday, Nick, Alison, Mobbsy, ewx, Naath and I squeezed into Becky's to eat, drink, and watch cheese, port and Xena.

Cheeses I remember:

Dolcelatte -- a soft tasty cheese I really liked.
Sage Derby -- hard, nice, popular
Yarg -- nice but plain
Wenslydale with cranberries -- I'm only occasionally in the mood for this, but it's good when I am
Some sheep's cheese -- I can't remember

Can anyone remember what else?

Mobbsy brought his super decanter of decanterness for port, which was also good; I think going to cambridge has innoculated me in liking that. Unfortunately, we went off with the cheese first, and the stew ("What *is* the difference between soup and stew?") didn't all get eaten.

Xena was as always very amusing. Though at some point I must watch more plot.

I had a touch too much port, and fell into repetative pun mode, with about 50 variations of the "I like my gender like I like my thing" comments, which must have got a bit tedious before hopefully getting funny again by repetition, though they all seemed to crack Richard up.

Ah, port. How delightfully civilised. Cockburn's, I trust? (I am not of the "any port in a storm" school of thought...)

IIRC there was a bottle of generic Cockburn's, I'm not sure that got opened though. I brought a Taylor's Quinta de Vargellas, and tienelle brought another single quinta, but I forget which.

The Sage Derby was certainly my favourite. I shall have to get some more...

Being easily pleased means you spend more time being pleased. Although the alcohol might have contributed as much or more than any hypothetical innate fact of character...

LOL. Very logical -- for drunk :)
