7:45ish EDT. Are you nicely buzzed yet? And what's the verdict on dinner/drink?
I’m in a very good place right now.
Wife called an awesome audible, we have a friend who is a fisherman on Martha’s Vineyard, he came off island today for a work trip and brought us fresh lobsters (lobstahs). They were crawling around our kitchen floor when I got home, much to the delight of my son. So fresh lobsters and stuffed quahogs - absolutely delicious.
Finishing second beer, about to walk the hound.
I've zero clue what a quahog is. Googling... Ah, the Mercenaria mercenaria. I've still no clue what they are. Must be a Bwahstuhn thing.
Enjoy your evening. I'm in the PDT timezone so I am, for a little bit longer, at the office. I'll think of you as I get a sunset surf in and then toast you with whatever ends up in my glass.
Stuffies are the dope show. You mince the clam and mix it with something that’s approximately like stuffing for a turkey, then put it back in half of the clamshell. Then you bake it. A lot of people like to have it with cocktail sauce. I’m not a cocktail sauce person, so I just put a little hot sauce on it, and if I’m feeling really decadent I will put a dab of mayonnaise on it as well (although many say that is sacrilege). So tasty.

It was my birthday about a week ago. But don't tell anybody. I've had too many of them already.

I thought quahogs were a Rhode island thing.

You get them all over the Cape and islands. Anyway, Massachusetts annexed Rhode Island decades ago. It’s where we keep the mafia, accents worse than ours, and second tier Ivy League schools.

What's tier is Cornell then?

Broadly speaking, second. There’s Harvard Yale and Princeton and then the rest. You can bicker over rank within tier 2.

If it is, then Mike Myers muscled up considerably since his Wayne's World days.

First of all, green peppers are an abomination. Seriously, let those fuckers ripen before you eat them. I am a chef and I thin’ they have no redeeming value.
As to your evenings choices, bbq, beer and Blade Runner.
I prefer red, yellow or orange peppers, but am ok with greens, esp. on pizza. In this case, my choice would be either green peppers or no peppers, in which case I go with green peppers.
What beer? I tend to be a pilsner person in the summer and think it pairs well with BBQ, but am willing to be persuaded otherwise.
A good Pilsner is a good choice. Icy cold. Avoid the hipster-douche IPAs. I don’t know what craft breweries are in your area but you can’t go wrong with a quality Pale Ale either.
Goes without saying, avoid any of the crappy big brands.
A nice, relatively mild hazy IPA goes down really well on a hot day.
Long Chile was a silly place.

Not for me. IPA’s are strictly a winter food.
Went to Chicken 649 last night after a couple months of solid dieting for cheat night. Bloody awesome.

Interesting. For me, a light or hazy IPA is a great summer drink. Those, pils, lager, etc. Pale ale and anything more Amber/dark is for cooler weather. One of my favorite summer beers is the category 12 Hiatus.
CHICKEN 649! YES!! A full order of their original and an ice cold fat tug IPA is one of my go to cheat meals.
Long Chile was a silly place.
