Figures a New Yorker would disgrace a raisin oatmeal cookie!

Nope.
Oatmeal raisin is a disgrace to the cookie community!

Maybe he’s a bagel with prunes kind of guy….you know a regular guy…..regular like clockwork

No, no.
Im an everything bagel kind of regular guy.

Where's the raisins in those oatmeal cookies?

Peanut butter cookies not oatmeal

Another vote for oatmeal raisin, here.
Just thinking about it makes me wanna go to Subway, and get about half a dozen.

We usually have the regular stuff, me and my wife eat here at our house alone. I usually grill a turkey breast, but this year we bought a smoked ham, and I made a brown sugar/honey glaze for it, and cooked it....turned out pretty good. Wife was crazy about it, and she is the picky eater I have to please. She cooked turnip greens, corn bread, and made some kind of cool whip, fruit cocktail thing. We had short bread cookies, and orange pound cake for dessert.

Oops! My bad.

Way back in the mid 70's, I had a regular dope smokin' buddy that I'd see almost every day. One day, I was sitting in his living room getting high, and I got a bad case of cotton mouth. I asked him if he had a Coke I could get. He smiled and said he had something even better. He came back with a bottle that reminded me of the old spiral glass Pepsi bottles, and it was what he called frost wine. I told him I really wasn't into wine, but he insisted that I took a sip. Talk about a tongue trip? God, that stuff was good! It was too sweet to ever think about getting a buzz on it, but it sure tickled my tastebuds.
He belonged to some wine tasting thing, and they'd send him a different bottle each month to try. That little 16 oz. bottle cost him $25, and that was back around '75. That much money would buy a single guy a weeks worth of groceries.

I don’t mind a glass of wine now and again and I have a nice rye that I like. Probably last me forever

But there was ONE stinking wine that I loved and they stopped making it. The label was Cellar Masters and it was a really dry resiling. I wish I knew how they made it.

And store brand ramen at that!

I live in a wine producing area and ice wine is a big thing here. They harvest frozen grapes for it, then sell the ice wine in skinny little bottles for $30-50. Too sweet and pricy for my blood.

I still have my large grape press on display in my house as artwork now.
Use to make hundreds of gallons for home consumption and gifting.

From what I've read, it's pricey 'cause there's a thin line between sweet and rotten when it comes to leaving them on the vine.

I also noticed that most of the frost/ice wines are of the lighter complection. This stuff was the color of mad dog 20/20. It's on my bucket list to find it one more time. I'll never forget the taste bud explosion I experienced.

Actually to be honest the grape press is cool. I say this because it is and so you won’t show us pictures of your huge hairy hobbit feet.

I made wine for a few years but I used concentrate from South America. It was ok but nothing to write home about.

I considered taking Welch white grape concentrate and using a dry yeast to see how it would come out

The new ranch was loaded with some sort of grapes. Talk about invasive? Must be the birds eating 'em and pooping on the fly, but there was huge grape vines all over the place. When I say huge, there were some that were 5" at the base. It took a chainsaw to cut 'em off or the backhoe to dig 'em out. I still have 'em growing up in spots.
My old nextdoor neighbor said they tried making wine outta 'em but didn't like it. Not sure if it was the grapes or their attempt. There's still enough vines growing around that I might try making some in the fall. I've been saying that for the last 20 years, so.......
