A glass of Sam Adams Noble Pils.  :beer:  I love pilseners and, a little surprisingly, this one is really excellent: it holds its own with any of the delicious German or Czech classics.

Several weeks ago, I had a fruit fly infestation in my apartment, after I left out too many sweet leftovers.  I cleaned them up, but fruit flies stayed for a while.  Wanting to get rid of them, I set up an ingenuous trap for them.  I know that they like beer, so I drank 2/3 of the bottle, and left the rest open where they congregated.  The trap worked, and they died in the bottle by the hundreds.

Today I opened another bottle of beer.  I drank half of it, and then set it aside somewhere.  I wanted to finish it off, so in a dark room, I pick up an open bottle of beer and take a swig from it.  Yeah, you guessed it.  :x :x :x :x :x  Never have I spat out a liquid so fast and rinsed my mouth for so long.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Max and I picked up a six-pack of Angry Orchard Apple Ginger Hard Cider. :mmm:
Where?
Pure Kentucky.  Going straight to my head.  107 proof is a one-way path to drunkville.  Pretty good, but my palate is unsophisticated.

We'd gotten it at Binny's on North Prospect. Not sure if they still have it, but I did find a ginger schnapps there Saturday night. I think I'm going to have to make a ginger vodka cordial to see how it comes out.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Just got this run Flor de Cana. I took a small sip just to see what it tasted like and it hit hard. Almost thought it was tequila! Mixed it with some peach juice and I can't even tell by taste that it has alcohol in it. Scary! :D

Drinking a Bahamian-style Rum Punch I made myself.

1 oz. Cruzan Coconut Rum
1 oz. Cruzan Aged Rum
3 oz. pineapple juice
3 oz. orange juice
1 oz. grenadine
1/2 oz. Myers Dark Rum

Stir the first five ingredients in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice.  Pour into a highball glass half-filled with ice.  Float Myers on top.  Garnish with maraschino cherry or pineapple wedge.

The Minsky Moment

The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Found some Lagavulin last night I had forgotten I had.  It was almost like an early Christmas :)

A couple of lunchtime Sam Smiths cherry beers and a steak and kidney pie for a tech journo Christmas knees-up. I am now fully refreshed to meet my deadlines.
