With my recent martini kick, I don't drink as much beer as I used to. But on a warmer spring day (pretty sad when temps in the 40s pass for warm) a good hoppy beer hits the spot. My friend Mike turned me onto the Schlafly Brewing Company, and one of their many fine beers is a Dry-Hopped IPA. If you're ever in the St. Louis area, I suggest you try it, whether from a store or at one of their brew pubs. The thrill of barley without the agony of… Bud Light. As Chuck D and Flavor Flav say: Fight the Power!
However as good as the beer and Ravenswood Zinfandel were, they pale in comparison to the great dinner and conversation. There's no substitute for a well-prepared meal in a warm and inviting home. Props to my homey (and fellow MLHS alum) Mike, his lovely wife Jenny, and their two kids Ethan and Owen. We hope to see them in Wisconsin (for good) soon!
