5 Days into the new month

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.

  1. Do ciders count as beers? I just bought some pear cider from Trader Joe’s that’s wonderful, not too sweet.

  2. You make me laugh πŸ™‚ You might try a Lambic. They don’t taste like beer at all.

  3. You crack me up. πŸ™‚

  4. 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.

  5. My husband thinks Guiness taste like chocolate milk. I have not experienced that.I like chocolate milk.Guiness? Not so much.

  6. 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!!

  7. Sadly, your response was no different in either case.the bridegroom
