This is a liquor store by my house. Maybe they should get their sign fixed. :)

Wurstfest


We have made plans to go to Wurstfest in New Braunfels, TX this year. We will probably get a hotel room Friday and Saturday night November 7 & 8, 2008. We found a dog friendly hotel on bringfido.com so we'll save some moolah that way. J wants to rent Leiderhosen and I'm thinking about getting one of those awesome sexy barmaid outfits just to be obnoxious and celebrate my German Heritage. I am also planning on purchasing das boot for the sole purpose of getting drunk and making a fool of myself - which isn't hard to do. You may recognized the drinking game from the movie "Beerfest". Anyone who would like to come along is definitely welcome!

Bacon is gud


I am really hungry right now. My mind wanders to the greatest gift ever: Bacon. I feel sorry for jewish people & vegetarians. My life revolves around bacon and it's fruits. I have made bacon vodka - it's delicious in Bloody Marys. Recipe Here.
I just found a recipe for a bacon infused Old Fashioned which I plan to try.
We must thank Saint Anthony
"Saint Anthony was heralded as a modest and courteous man. He lived for 20 years barricaded in an abandoned fort, having contact with people only when his admirers broke in. Known for healing skin diseases and inflammations, he is often depicted with a pig because pork fat was used as a treatment with similar results. Being identified with pigs led the swine herders to take him as their patron. For this reason, he has become the Patron Saint of Bacon."
There is also a girl after my own heart that knows two of the best things in life are sex & bacon.

Take That Mom! Alcohol and Coffee is Good For me!


From the Times Online:

Red Wine. Again, if you read a newspaper more than once a year, you'll have heard about the benefits of red wine, the "French Paradox" and the like. Like chocolate, polyphenols are the key - chemicals such as tannins and flavonoids in the grape skin and seeds that are powerful antioxidants. Also important are the procyanidins, which help to reduce blood pressure and lower cholesterol. Another ingredient, resveratrol, slows ageing of the heart, bones, eyes and muscles and can even deter cataracts, at least in mice. As for chocolate, red wine must be consumed with moderation. Certain traditional red wines from southwest France, Sardinia and Crete appear to have the most magic ingredients.

Coffee contains antioxidates and tannins that help protect the heart and unblock the arteries. It's also good for the liver - one cup per day cuts the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis by 20 per cent; four cups a day reduces the risk by 80 per cent, which is good news if you're on a red wine diet.

Guinness. Makers of the Irish stout used to market it under the slogan "Guinness is good for you" - until they were told to desist. Research published in 2003 from the University of Wisconsin suggests that they were right all along: a pint of the black stuff is as effective as an asprin in preventing blood clots, and much tastier. Again, it's all about antioxidants.

Now if we could just prove vodka gives you the ability to fly...

By the way, who's up for bocce ball with the austin imbiber's society soon? I'm thinking Sunday afternoon at Joe's Bar & Grill:
But I just looked at their photo gallery and I had to put an email into them because it doesn't look like the bocce ball court is there anymore. More to come...
Yes, they do have their bocce ball court. Not sure if we are really going to go yet.

Austin Imbiber's Society



Here is one for plans of the future. J(my man!)and I are dedicated to imbibing alcoholic beverages. We decided that alcohol gets too much bad press and there needs to be an organization that defends its rights. We could organize ride shares and taxis for those who have had too much to drink. Enter, the Austin Imbiber's Society. We have meetings all the the time, usually every weekend, but never an "official" one as of yet. The A.I.B. has a bocce ball team and a mascot. We are "the fighting turduckins". More plans for the future: Austin Imbiber's Society adopts a highway. Someday we'll fight the good fight and we'll do it with a drink and a smile.
