Dinner update
Tomato basil red pepper soup served with pane bread covered on artichokes and cheese

A little saffron rice

And chicken baked with a chipotle lime marinade

Finally, my new kitchen toy

Cheers!

Best part is the dealer misquoted me via email on the Wolf and I made them honor it

In all fairness I did walk in and hand over my credit card before the guy tried to change the price on me. Can't start the paperwork and then switch the price

Good they honored it. It's a great stove. And looks amazing. Makes the kitchen and the cook.

I was lucky that my gf bought all sorts of them on some crazy sale at jc penny for like 3-4 bucks a piece. She did not know I would use them all for beer I guess JC had some disagreement with bodum a few months back and as a result they put all their stuff 70% off then cut ties.

Nice! Wish I had room for a larger one but did not want to change cabinets and layout as this house is not long term.

Tripel Karmeliet is a fantastic Belgian tripel that can be had at most craft beer stores worth their salt. If they have a Belgian section, you should be able to find it. Seeing that you are in SF, there must be some good stores nearby.

I'll check in to it:-)
I had to keep the wife happy, so we went with all wolf appliances in the kitchen.
She wanted the 48", we settled on the 36". No way I was dropping $15000 on a stove. $10000 was a compromise.

That could have been a few nice watches, there is something about professional appliances that I surely didn't have an appreciation for until Wolf.

Enjoy your dinner! Cheers.
