PelleNilsson - 3/28/2006 4:18:14 PM It's an Hungarian brand that has bull's blood in the name. 3712. wonkers2 - 3/28/2006 4:18:27 PM Maybe this is what I was half-remembering about Italian wines? Methanol. 3713. wonkers2 - 3/28/2006 4:37:47 PM What is red wine? 3714. alistairconnor - 3/28/2006 4:52:00 PM No, in the old days, various things were used for fining wines. The principle is that if you put animal protein into solution -- e.g. egg whites, or blood -- it binds to the little particles and causes it to precipitate out.
These days, it's generally filtered instead. And in any case, your real wine snob will not object to a certain amount of solid matter in the bottom of the bottle. 3715. thoughtful - 3/29/2006 2:50:31 PM lees? beeswing?
I think i spend too much time doing xword puzzles. 3716. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:21:02 PM I got a new espresso machine yesterday. I am so excited! 3717. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:25:47 PM It's the Nespresso
D290.
 3718. Magoseph - 4/4/2006 9:30:24 PM Nice, Jen, very nice--have you tried it yet? 3719. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:40:36 PM Yes and I love it. I get to buy those nifty ultra-fresh capsules and the temperature, pressure and timing are perfect.
The best thing is that it is powerful while being small so it won't take up too much counterspace.
3720. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:41:07 PM How about you Mags - any new purchases? 3721. Jenerator - 4/4/2006 9:50:16 PM This bad boy is $2,060.
Can you imagine spending that much for an espresso maker? My husband would kill me.
 3722. Magoseph - 4/4/2006 10:13:27 PM I bought a 2006 Honda Odyssey Touring a week ago. I haven't had the nerve to drive it yet, except from the dealer to the garage. My son has it for a week or two and he wants to teach me how to drive it. 3723. arkymalarky - 4/4/2006 10:31:50 PM Oooh, those are nice, Mags. 3724. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 4:20:34 PM Magoseph!
Whar are you waiting for? Tell me all about yur new car - why'd you buy it, what do you like about it? What color did you pick? 3725. PelleNilsson - 4/5/2006 6:46:38 PM I'm disapponted. I thought Mago had bought a motorcycle. 3726. wonkers2 - 4/5/2006 9:02:11 PM I hope the espresso machine is energy efficient so that it will eventually pay for itself (by the time your great grand children are using it). 3727. wonkers2 - 4/5/2006 9:03:08 PM Mago will have to wait almost as long to recover the premium she paid for the Honda over an American car. 3728. Magoseph - 4/5/2006 9:28:12 PM Pelle, Wonk--I’m disappointed that I had to buy this car, but Flexy wanted it—the only satisfaction I have is that I got a sizable discount paying cash.
Jen, it’s kind of a silver grey, but, you know, I can’t be excited about buying cars, appliances, or clothes. I have too much of all that around here anyway and being a miser, I’m actually sick right now about the Honda.
3729. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:02:28 PM Wonkers,
The espresso machine was a birthday present and the capsules only cost .49 cents each. 3730. Jenerator - 4/5/2006 11:03:10 PM Mags,
I can't believe you're not even excited about driving a new car.
