Four modest pens

[bluesea]

Pequod (whaler)
Ahab the pegleg
Starbuck, who likes a latte with a dash of cinnamon and his name written on the cup
Queequeg smokes a scary pipe

and Ishmael hears a sermon before departing on the trip delivered in a sanctuary ribbed like a boat (or the belly of Jonah's whale)

Excellent TSherbs! Its one of my favorite books of all time, next to the Odyssey.

You can post your choices once new kid posts his.

We'll wait bit on the last pen, till we catch up here.

Downsides to not being American... (Who is Alexander Hamilton?)

I'm not American-proper, having been born in the former Territory of Hawaii. Otoh in post WWII--Japanese internment Hawaii, I was brought up and schooled as strongly American.

I choose the Pilot Preppy and Montblanc Black and Irish Green. Thank you.

[bluesea]

As we wait for TSherbs to make his choice, I'll start on the last pen, which will either be the Pilot Plumix or Kakuno ef.


This will be first-to-post.

Write about your favorite food. Include a recommendation for a nice dinner, in courses or ala carte if you wish.

[TSherbs]

Just home now, sorry...Honestly, I just love the questions about books I know and am having fun...give the pens away to someone else!

My favorite food is rice. Being Filipino and all, I'll take a simple plate of rice and adobo for the main course, then ube (taro) ice cream for dessert

Thank you for the opportunity for a new pen too!

Not really for the pen, but one of my favorite cuisines is Cajun. I like to make jambalaya using two kinds of meat or seafood - usually chicken and smoked sausage.
First, I'll brown the chicken and sausage, then saute some onions, garlic, bell peppers and celery. Once these are done, I add the meats and sauteed vegetables to a pot containing chicken stock. I'll toss in some chopped tomatoes then either beer or wine. Bring to boil, then let simmer on low heat to get all of the flavors together. Add some parsley, rosemary, oregano, salt and cayenne pepper. Finally, I'll add rice (long grain is best) and when cooked, serve with cornbread or biscuits.

Great first post! Had some adobo last week, and I absolutely L*O*V*E properly cooked white rice. Lmk which pen and inks, and I'll get them out to. Be sure to PM your mailing address.

Thanks the great post snowbear. I love Cajun food!

Now I'm hungry. *___*

And, I grew up in the Philippines, which doesn't cover much American history. Then managed to take only post WWII history when I ended up stateside for college. This renders me hilariously terrible at trivia sometimes!

[Pengineer247]

Whoa! It's not everyday I meet people who know about both Adobo AND fountain pens! This is awesome!

Also, I'll take the Plumix, Iroshizuku Yama Budo and J Herbin Rogue Hematite. Thank you again!!

[bluesea]

Here goes for the last item, the Pilot Kakuno ef, a pen I like quite a lot.

Name and discuss briefly a woman who you feel has had significant effect, on positive social change in the US in the last 50 years. This need not have to be the "most" significant or famous, or well known.


P.S. the first three items are packaged, stamped and ready to go.

Thanks again!! I received the pen and ink yesterday, coincidentally with purple ink.

Thanks much, Dustin-- I'm stoked you're stoked, lol. Mission accomplished! :smiles: That is none other than Namiki Purple, a great basic ink.

Excellent signature, btw.

[Pengineer247]

Mine arrived 2 days ago. I am loving it!! Thank you again!

[bluesea]

The Pilot Kakuno will go out tomorrow to member Papamud, who I believe is having issues posting at the moment. And that brings to an end this PIF. Thanks!

[Papamud]

I am really loving my Kakuno! Thanks for paying it forward to this total rookie fp user!
