Home alone...Trying a Japanese Whiskey and a solo Grill session.

in life •  7 years ago 

Yesterday Bianca was out with her friends and this poor man had to entertain himself.

To cheer myself up I opened a bottle of whiskey I bought not long ago.

It's a Japanse whiskey that Bianca found in Makro, and I bought it on the reviews I read about it online (4,5/5).

Funnily Bianca doesn't drink whiskey but she sure knows how to select a bottle.

The weather was also beautiful and I decided to go ahead with a solo grill session.

I still had one steak left from the butcher @s3rg3 recommended.

I fired up the grill and poured myself a glass.

Sting was playing in the background and the sun was shining.

It was perfect.

I took a sip.

Wow! This stuff was delicious, full of flavour but it was a tat sharp (45%)

I deluded it a little bit with water which I used to think to be the ultimate sin until I learned that it can actually help the flavour.

After it was perfect. Very smooth. I was a happy man.

I only had one glass. I do like to savour good stuff.

But I can never be that person that buys something and then not try it.

The meal turned out great.

I added a bunch of grilled vegetables and eat it straight from the wooden board.

There is just something about it that I like.

Enjoying oneself is the right strategy and when satisfied, we could share this awesomeness with another person later.

wow very nice commend

Meat, whiskey, but no cigar?
Well , smoking is bad.

Is your hand/wrist feeling better?

I wish, but I stopped smoking 6 years ago :). I prefer it. Hand slowly becoming better.

The one who can rejoice can only rejoice. And that happened to you. You're holding a glass of whiskey, It looks like a dream. Grilled meat and vegetable looks delicious. It's so alluring that Who ever sees it he will be hungry :)

Thanks @exyle sir. Delighted to read about your happiness, a good weekend.

Mark all I could do is look at the picture of the Glass of Whiskey to see if I could find any DEEP Meaning in the Colors and Swirls........ @exyle I know the meaning of LIFE is in there somewhere....................

...and this poor man had to entertain himself.

😆 that made me laugh! Great steak 🥩 and Japanese whisky in “all alone” session. It’s something diferent. I do it sometimes as well when I’m alone. Not too often though. I do love Red paprika 🌶 and other veggies such as asparagus or corn 🌽 with steak. Actually I’m having salmon with some veggies today. I hope you enjoyed your time “all alone”.

Salmon on the grill is nice too! I had a great time!

So you are enjoying a lonely time at home:). I feel absence of my wife a lot especially during lunch and dinner time. The way you cooked doesn't seem that you miss Binaca at the time of food:) Have a nice time:) keep sharing @exyle

That steak looks so great.

Has it been dry aged?

I'm a big fan of those.

Every once in a while, I watch a few videos on how to make the best steaks on youtube.

One of my biggest wishes is to try the Kobe beef actually.

Dry-aged meat is great but this was 'normal' meat.

Great weekend @exyle I wish I was not working all of it, but hehe wow 45% nice, yea I agree with some the added water can be nice and helps with flavor, so what about ice cubes do you consider them worse then adding normal temperatured water?

Adding a bit of water to your whiskey is ok, the only irredeemable sin is adding more than 2 ice cubes 😎

Hahaha i enjoy the way you tell your stories using steemit as a medium to share your life experiences.

Also i love it when you back your stories with such clear and enticing pictures.

I hope to reach a level here on steemit where i would have an audience that i tell my stories too and also listen to theirs.

Steemit is the best thing that happened to me this year 🙌🙌🙌

After reading your post I am like

lol!

I Get so angry every time I see your green egg!!!!! 😈 I want one too!!!

lol, you will get one one day I'm sure!

I've been to a concert by Sting and Paul Simon a few years ago. Marvelous! Do you know Sting has it's own vineyard?

I had no clue! Wouldn't that be the dream? Your own vineyard :)

Coffee grain whisky. I am intrigued!! Will have to track it down here. The Japanese whiskys are really top notch

Looks like the weather is good there, and it´s coming to Portugal, next week we have predictions of 30ºC and yesterday was raining... probably one of the last times before summer.

It always feels and taste very good when we can eat something roasted on the coals, the food is especially good.

Didn't know you were a whisky man exyle, I'm more of a bourbon fan myself. It's a bit easier on the wallet than whiskey 😀

Is whiskey popular in Holland?

I love the stuff, man. Whiskey is not the most popular drink I guess. That would be beer and wine but people do enjoy it.

WOWWWW!!!Seems you had just a wonderful Sunday to enjoy your single life,because Bianca is not at home.
This Tall guy is full of talents, seriously :D ;)

I am sure the Steak you made was delicious because i can feel it ymmmuliious odor all around my imagination :P

Bwt Thanks lot @exyle for this wonderful write ;)

geniet er maar tenvolle van, mijn persoonlijke fav is glenfiddich, nog een mooie avond toegewenst

Seems like you got something to keep you strong till Bianca is back. You sure had some good vine. Personally, I don't really go for whiskey on sunny days. In fact haven't had any in a month as the scorching sun isn't planning to stop anytime soon, so I do go for beers most of the time.

if you're alone because it does not give a whiskey stick to your followers. lol...

                             Have a nice day and let's drink ..

Most people including me get bored when they are home alone.
I can see that you know how to enjoy and entertain yourself+ Earning money lool.
Cheeeeers

After reading the post, I found out that a Japanese whiskey in front of a house, which is available in macro, it would be great to eat. Enjoy the place Thank you.

There is a lot of good food in the meat, but it's fun

Japanese whiskeys are rarely found, this whiskey feels very good to eat and its breath is very much

Well said.....

@exyle you are always looks so fresh can you tell me its reason hehe

wow,great time passing foods no dout
Whiskey and a solo Grill are really great !!
for just chill time

Who is Bianca?

Bianca Castafiore

How can i have a bottle?????
It's either whiskey or nothing 🈚 🈚

You sure know how to have an intimate solo moment. I think I should be more kind to myself like you are to yourself.

Im no whiskey lover, however that steak is absolutely calling for me lol

excllent story writing

Buen Provecho!

@exyle......Wow! This stuff is looking delicious, full of flavour . Life is full of enjoyment here with Japanese Whiskey and a solo Grill .

Good for you for cooking a healthy meal for yourself @exyle. When I'm on my own I usually just get a ready meal. Too lazy to cook for myself! 😊

Adding a bit of water to your whiskey is ok, the only irredeemable sin is adding more than 2 ice cubes 😎
That steak looks so great.

Has it been dry aged?

I'm a big fan of those.

Every once in a while, I watch a few videos on how to make the best steaks on youtube.
One of my biggest wishes is to try the Kobe beef actuall

thank you for telling me about your life, hope you are always healthy and successful

Nice combination there, hope you had some left overs of the steak for Bianca. I know you can't finish the bottle. Enjoy @exyle

The food looks delicious and light. I am always the opinion that when u buy something just finish it :) So you will find different ways to drink that whisky in the future and enjoy the flavor. Maybe have chocolate with it or use it for creams :)

Buen post amigo saludos desde venezuela.

Excellent, i can see that you enjoyed the food and the whiskey.

Sometimes we do not necessarily need other people to have a nice afternoon, at least once a month we have to give us a moment for ourselves

Nice..
Mark, your eating good in the neighborhood :)

Good time alone spent the whiskey looking great :D

I hope you're having good time enjoying the delicious food and Japanese whiskey at home. It's good to enjoy life with food sometimes!

Oh man!

Sounds Fantastic!

You would have to sacrifice being "alone" but I wish I was there with you!

I actually just tried my first Japaneese whiskey this weekend in Vegas and apparently Japan make some of the best whiskey on earth!

This would be strange as its a western thing....Yet Japan seems to be "the best" at everything they do so not surprise there...hahahha
