Who would have guessed they could organize an event with 60 unique seltzers from 20 different breweries (and that’s not even all of the brands that wanted to be represented).

A few of the local breweries here in Minnesota have released  some.  Everyone seems to be getting in while the getting’s good.

I saw on Worst Beer Blog yesterday that apparently there’s now going to be a hard seltzer festival.  I like the stuff, and I rolled my eyes.

I’m binging Letterkenny right now, and it took me a minute when they’re all talking about Caesars to remember what the heck they were talking about.

I need to brew a batch soon, if only to have another Hot Scotchy.

On a mobile browser it’s almost impossible (I like the content, so I read it anyway, but I need a stiff drink to calm my temper).

I was going to say, kettle sour slushies are very much a thing now.  Tomato based I haven’t seen, but I could see it working.  The Tajin was an inspired choice, and I’m totally putting it on the next Bloody Mary I make.

Here’s to second chances, and recognizing one’s weaknesses.

I haven’t seen Allison around in a while... she got my vote because Old Fashioned.  I personally like a whiskey sour or a Manhattan.  Kate came close because a bloody is a thing of beauty.  John knows a Martini isn’t made with vodka, so a nod in your direction too, even if not a vote.

Hard boiled eggs, avocados... I use it often. 

I’ve done three, but two is more common for me. My desk is always a damned mess, but probably the weirdest thing is a tin of sea salt. 

Maybe I have weird fry tastes.  The last time I was at McDonald’s, I really didn’t like their fries, which are supposed to be one of their high marks.

I enjoy a Whopper, and BK Fries. I’ve been to McDonald’s twice in the past ten years, and hated myself for it both times, so never again for me. I haven’t been to a Wendy’s in forever (I never seem to be near one).

I believe Pabst is doing one that’s 8%.  I don’t know what flavors they’re pushing, though.

It always makes me think of the scene in War Games where Matthew Broderick finds a pull tab to make a free payphone call.  I remember finding pull tabs everywhere well into the early eighties as a kid, so if those cans stopped being produced in 1980, I can only imagine how many pull tabs were kicking around in the…

I mean, he volunteered the argument against his first answer. It's like performance art in how to answer badly.

I met him at a food and wine event once - coolest guy I've ever met. Just pure awesome.  I second the calls to read his memoirs... Just a fascinating story. 

Wait... Tandoori burger?  If my office canteen doesn’t do this, they’ll get a sternly worded comment on their next dining satisfaction survey.

I bet these are tasty- there are so many fancy-ass grape varieties these days, I’d imagine the resulting grapes could be interesting.  I might throw some in the greenhouse for kicks.

A few years ago, everyone thought I was crazy because I was referring to an actress as “Drew Carey’s girlfriend” when she was apparently really popular at the time on Grey’s Anatomy.  Now I really want to watch reruns for hours.
