I LIKE TO KILL DEER.... and that rhymes with... I like to drink beer!!!!

If you didn't know already, I'm a beer drinker boys and girls. I drink lots and lots of beer, I even bottled my first brewed batch on Easter... hooray!!! I have been drinking beer professionally since I was 13, yet today (21 years later) I had a first. Mama Mia's Pizza Beer. I asked the bartender if it was beer that tasted good with pizza, his reply, "No, it's a beer that tastes like pizza." He also mentioned it was only $4 a bottle (in a bar where an average beer can reach $12 a glass, some as high as $100+) so it was worth a try.



Well today we (made the mistake) took the chance and tried it. The smell was amazing, like a pizzaria. The taste, it wasn't that bad, almost as if you were drinking a mild beer while eating pizza. Shon drank the bulk of it, he got a bellyache. Would we get it again, no. Was the novelty worth it, yes.

Shon has a few comments for my readers:
1. Beer, my gentle readers, is a beverage. It should taste like... yes, beer.
2. By that rationale, beer that reportedly tastes like food, is SUSPECT.
3. Today I drank a beer brewed with oregano, garlic, tomato, and basil. Yes I said garlic. Like bad-breath-kill-vampires-need-a-breath-mint-and-bottle-of-Scope-garlic. You can't imagine what the burps taste- or smell- like.
4. Any questions or arguments, refer to #2.


... my final note on the subject.. good thing I LOVE garlic!!

.... and Shon says, "Go Tiger!"

Taco Bell goes high class..... Or e-coliriffic!

So, I saw this add on TV boasting how Taco Bell now sells shrimp tacos. I don't think this is the best idea. My sister says I'm a food snob, but that's not where this is coming from. Really, I love Taco Bell as much as the next girl, but is shrimp really in demand at the Bell?

Hear me out. I was in line at the Taco Bell drive through once and they were unloading the truck. I was really happy I only eat the chicken tacos there once I read the cartons. They read, "Grade F Beef: Edible".

IF YOU HAVE TO LABEL FOOD AS EDIBLE, PEOPLE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE EATING IT. (I'm just saying)

And, while they boasted a hearty portion of 5 shrimp per taco, you and me know that's not much, considering they're probably small shrimp (about U35's I'm guessing). Plus, once microwaved I'm guessing they get chewier than bubble gum.

Look at that picture. Sure it looks delicious-ish, but there's 2 of your 5 shrimpies right there. Besides, has Rob Cockerham taught us nothing when it comes to fast food?

My advice to Taco Bell: You don't have to get all fancy-like, just stick to what keeps us coming back, cheap fauxican food we crave late at night.
