2 oz. + accidentally fermented orange juice, with about 1-1/2-2 oz. raspberry extract concentrate from my wife's efforts last year (stored in qt. jars for the winter last year, and still hanging in there), with several oz. of cranberry-lime seltzer water, close to 2 shots of decent reposado tequila, 5 ice cubes, a teaspoon Splenda (yeah, I know, "Boo, hiss...').. shaken, not stirred... Alright, that was bullshit; it was definitely stirred.

Pretty tasty, if I do say so myself.

Now I'm home for the rest of the day and into mid-evening by myself, along with my buddy, my friend, the German Shepherd.

The rest of my family have gone to a fund-raiser in another part of the State, the plants are all watered for now, and the veggie gardens outside don't yet need the sprinklers turned on.

I can lock the doors, bolt the windows, and maybe.. just maybe.. drop a tab or 2 of Sidney. But is it safe??

Guinness has now diversified their exports to us to the extent that there's ~6 different varieties; maybe more, even. Used to be pretty concise and definitive to ask, "Can I have a Guinness, please?" Not any more.

Now you'd need to be fluent in Guinness production lines, and the various items offered. Some of which, indeed, seem superior to the old stand-by (someone slap me for saying that!!). Such as some of their special exports @ ~7% abv. Not too shabby.

Nothing more superior than a slow poured pint of Guinness in a bar in the middle of the west of Ireland, on a soft rainy afternoon, with nothing else to do but wait for it to settle, drink it, then order another. There still is only one Guinness here, the others are in the special fridge in the corner of the off license that few locals go near. Bit too exotic for these parts. Thought myself and herself would take a break form the single malt thing the past few nights, Got a few of The Glenlivet and a bottle of Glenmorangie..... so now on the soft stuff.

Not sure if you had it yet but hope the operation went well..... I enjoyed the exotic Guinness but cant say it came close to the normal stuff... if your ever inclined to try it here sure drop me a message :)

If I head to my distant Homeland Super, I'll let you know, for sure.

I alternate through a fairly wide variety of stouts (mostly) and some Irish reds and similar, as well as the occasional high-test blonde, though few.

I haven't had a hankering for any IPAs for a while; when I do, there's an IPA from Midnight Sun Brewing in Anchorage; Sockeye Red. So damned citrusy it literally approaches grapefruit juice.

I joke in half-seriousness with folks on occasion that if I were to choose a 'breakfast beer,' it'd likely be that one, as it literally comes that close to grapefruit juice.

Other than that, it's typically a good reposado tequila, unless I'm making custom aperitifs with a whisky or such. My wife being the Scotch aficionado. Was married to her over 28 years before I discovered that. Shame on me!!

Though I knew the very first year that she didn't care for cocaine. ;^>) (*Lucky me!!!)

My long-ago-far-away ancestors who came here in the early mid-1700s hailed from Ireland (*Patrick O'Shaughnessy, who later changed his name to Shockney, as many Irish changed their names back then, for a variety of reasons)..

Some place back there, around 500 A.D., I came through long lines, from a fellow named King Dythea, an Irish Pagan King. Don't know enough about him to know how heavily he capitulated to the British Crown in maintenance of his 'Kingdom.' Just that he was alleged to be a Pagan, which made him more acceptable in my book. ;^>)

I mean, who doesn't want to dance naked under a full moon while imbibing??!! ;^>)

Funnily enough we are going to a pagan wedding not too far from King Daithis old ground this weekend.... the limestone hills cant but speak of many pasts. Many here heavily capitulated, took the soup as we say. It wasnt easy. We are surrounded by famine walls here.

We dont do IPAs or any of those fancy ales.. however the single malt is a weakness, with Isle of Oban being our particular favourite, it drinks like water so we only have it now and again for the thirst. We go through phases, much like everyone I suppose, a change is as good as a rest, though not much changes with a fine malt.

Luckily herself, while a huge lover of cocaine, knows enough to leave it when it isnt there, take it when it is , and not think about it inbetween.

“Where is King Daithi – where
Where is my bravest?”
On the rich deck he lies
O’er him his sunburst flies
Solemn the obsequies
Eire! thou gavest.

See ye that countless train
Crossing Roscommon’s plain
Crying, like hurricane,
Uile liu ai!
Broad is his cairn’s base
Night the “King’s burial place”
Last of the Pagan race,
Lieth King Daithi!
