What’s the plan for this week?
To quote an icon:
“You’re telling me there’s no alcohol? What the hell are we supposed to do for two days?”
Signed,
a few bottles of Costco prosecco will help me get through this week
What are we drinking this week? [NOT 21/12/20]
I was on call last week so I had to skip seven days of my hard seltzer advent calendar, but I fully intend to catch up in the next few days!
Simpler Wines Sparkling White from Trader Joe’s. I love little cans of wine, I don’t have to open a full bottle.
I’m on an alternating craft beer & red wine diet but I do make a mean eggnog. I don’t do measurements, you can figure that out = to your enjoyment level, but here you go:
Eggnog
Myers Rum
Kahlua
Ice
Nutmeg
One of the local dairies makes an excellent egg nog, so that’s what I’m drinking–straight out of the bottle.
Canadian Whiskey Sour
Shaken with ice. Poured over ice. Cinnamon stick to stir.
Wine for me, bubbly for Ms. MemeWeaver, and a stray beer here and there (Jubelale?), I imagine.
We used to have a local pub that owner was a big Deschutes guy & saved years of kegs of Jubelale & did a vertical tasting this time of year. Good times, I think.
What’s a vertical tasting?
What is a Vertical Tasting?
The short: tasting a beer over several years of production.
Interesting, thanks.
I had every Stone Vertical Epic & shared them w/ my beer club at our Xmas party many years back. I miss my beer club!!!!

I struck out on the Jubelale today, but I came home with a Scotch ale that I’ve had before and really enjoyed.
At this very moment? A lychee flavour Ramune. Later? Probably a ridiculous amount of water. This week? Sweet tea, Diet Coke, and possibly a teeny bit of port.
I used to drink rum and coke like it was going out of style… sadly, my tummy troubles have severely curtailed my alcohol intake.
Sorry about your tummy, Smacks. Do you live where weed is legal? You could catch a buzz and maybe soothe your stomach at the same time.
All the things! I’m drinking all the things.
I did make a ‘cranberry mimosa’ that was pretty tasty and festive.
Yes, it was prosecco with a splash of cranberry juice.
‘Groundbreaking’
just beer…lol
i likes what i likes (and farscy really isnt safe around the strong stuff)
suspect i will also need to replace the porter i have for cooking a couple times before the seasons over
(why yes..the recipes absolutely call for a whole bottle of porter….some of it even goes in the food)
uhh…shit i actually meant port i have for cooking
porter would significantly alter the flavour
