1. beer sampler cases are for suckers. we got a case of
yards this weekend while in the hood. we picked up the sampler thinking that it would give people options while drinking. well, we were wrong. only two of the beers were consumable (the saison tasted like soap and just plain skunked beer, though i bet it wasn't); and the IPA wasn't terribly bad, but jano didn't particularly care for it. so to avoid getting beer that breweries might possibly try to get rid of by putting it into a "sampler" pack, we picked up
troegs dreamweaver. tastes like a more concentrated
wittekerke. i'm down with that.
2. michelle's wedding shower was a really nice time. even after the bit of stress in the planning stages !P, everything turned out really nice, and i have to thank jay's sisters, kristen and amy, for putting this together for michelle. (and damn! i would bet she got most of her stuff from her registry!)
3. apparently, i now make an award-winning chili. after going out for dumpings at china bistro, i dragged my tired ass into the kitchen and made a white chicken chili (chicken thighs, red & yellow bell peppers, onion, white northern beans, cannelloni beans, anise seeds, cumin, oregano, chipotle peppers, and amaretto) for my office's chili cookoff. later that night i couldn't fall asleep and was obsessing over the chili. well, i can now justify my obsessing - my chili earned enough votes to place first in the poultry category! here is my trophy, which is currently residing on my bookshelf in my office. hahahah.
4. it's a done deal. this week i completely committed to our
cruise vacation. i just have to pay the credit card when it comes...yikes.
5. i heart cavin.
