VBS stands for Very Busy Schedule. Is it Friday yet?
My husband managed to find some time to blog about my beer drinking. I had intended to keep a log of my reactions to the beer, but it never made it from head to paper, so it is gone. It was funny while I remembered it.
I did tell Bill that he reminded me of going to the eye doctor as he questions me day to day about the flavors. “Is it better now…or now?” Although I can tell some difference, at this point it doesn’t matter. Bill and his brother were laughing at me as I described taking a sip in such a way as to avoid a direct hit on my taste buds.
Yesterday I had a playdate with Denise and her boys, which was nice. She got to hear me describe Bill’s expectant questioning after my nightly drink as akin to a new bridegroom’s pillow talk: “How was it, honey?” Oh, the performance anxiety!
Denise recommended black and tans, and said her husband thought I should skip all the light stuff and go straight for Guinness. It’s so good to have support and encouragement for my endeavors – from her and other friends, from friends’ husbands. Touching.
Now, off to see if the baby will let me take a shower.
Do ciders count as beers? I just bought some pear cider from Trader Joe’s that’s wonderful, not too sweet.
You make me laugh π You might try a Lambic. They don’t taste like beer at all.
You crack me up. π
In the spirit of offering advice on what you ought to drink, a story:>>My fiancee has never been too keen on beer. She’s Italian by blood, and does enjoy a good glass of wine (a mystery, ironically, to my Irish and Teutonic blood) but beer not so much.>>The other day she called me to let me know she found a style of beer that she genuinely liked: Hefeweisen. It’s a lighter sort of wheat beer noted for its citrus undertones and it’s a very pleasant drink. You might like that one too.
My husband thinks Guiness taste like chocolate milk. I have not experienced that.>I like chocolate milk.>Guiness? Not so much.
I do not like beer. Nope, not at all. I love your idea though, it might work! Drink it till you like it, lol.>I have to second the person who said try Hefeweisen. It is kind of tolerable for beer. Guiness… no, no, try Murphys. It is close but much more palatable!>Good luck and keep us updated!!
Sadly, your response was no different in either case.>>the bridegroom
