I'm not even sure what to report. I'll stick with food and liquor for the time being.

Picked up a 6 pack of Short's Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster the other day. It's a gorgeous beer that I've had once before on tap. Double White Belgian IPA, heavy on citrus flavor, surprisingly light on the herbal hops, or peppercorns I've come to associate with belgians, and double IPA's.

I've adopted the 'beer and a bump' methodology of drinking lately, sticking to a single beer and a small glass of something light to dark brown, with an ice cube. Maker's Mark has been a key feature, in small, long lasting glasses.

I'm still plotting a stew for my Grubski post, and I keep changing my mind. A Greek/Mediterranean lamb stew with focaccia sounds great, but then so does a white bean chicken chili, done with white pepper, roasted garlic and a load of wine. And then we talked about various traditional African gumbos in anthropology this morning, and a millet thickened beef stew with bitter herbs and honey-mead sounded awesome. So, I have no idea. At this point I usually spin a globe and pick an inspired dish from wherever my finger lands when it stops.
