Beer -- It's What's For Dinner!

So last night, I arrived with Javier at Willies ("Mcbrides"), and we were
met with terrible news! Sean and Summer were outside, and greeted us with sad looks.

"Bad news," Sean said. "There's no karaoke tonight."

Noooooooo!!!!!

The four of us went into junkie mode, desperately racking our brains and calling around, trying -- nay -- GETTING our fix, come hell or high water!

Ding ding ding! Gutter, tell 'em what they've won! Babz -- Javier found success! Sean (a different Sean) gave us the heads up on the contest at Lily Flanagan's.

Sean and Summer didn't end up coming. That was sad. But then Babz showed up! That was happy. But then she took 12 hours to drink a Coors Light. That was sad.

But so we went to Lily's and it was pretty empty. Newfound friend Steve, for whom I apparently repeatedly refer to in some (positive) adjective I can't recall, met us there, and the four of us sat in a booth! With pitchers of beer. Amazing! I hate Bud Light, but pitchers of beer in a booth is like, one of my favorite pasttimes! And I only really ever got to do it in Oneonta.

So I was very happy, but the most exciting part was that I had Bud Light in lieu of "meals," 2 mozzarella sticks and a cream cheese jalapeno popper nothwithstanding. Thanks, Javier! Anyway, when I woke up this morning, I weighed 5 pounds less than I did yesterday! HOLLA!!!!!! The Claire Huxtable plan is in full effect! Although I apparently have lost 12 pounds since Monday. I don't know how that works.

Either way, can I just take this moment to say that cream cheese jalapeno poppers are one of the great insidious evils threatening us today? Because you don't know until you bite all the way into it, that's just the nature of the popper. And the last think I want to see when I'm expecting cheddarey goodness is white chunks, you know? God forbid we'd gotten just the poppers instead of the sampler. I would have been heartbroken.

So I really think that Willies needs to get pitchers, stat. And now I am wondering if they have jalapeno poppers, and if so, what kind.

I'm very hungry.




BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
