Their toner looks nice, but I don't think my wallet would like it.

I will preface this short story by saying that it had been over two years since I had had a beer. If I did drink it was wine at home or some mixed drink out. But the last couple of weeks I felt that I really wanted a beer. Must be the time of year or the weather. But I wanted something that was good, light and tasty. I knew that several brewers have seasonal ales. I have never had a Sam Adams Summer Ale. It is brewed with a bit of lemon and citrus flavor. I had heard it was good and it sure sounded good. But never having tried it I needed opinions. Then I saw that Sam Adams has a Cherry Wheat Ale. That got my attention because I like cherries.  Talked to the beer man about both. I couldn't decide, so I bought a case of each. Sat out in the yard at home on Saturday night and drank beer, listened to tunes and just vegetated. I tired both beers. Not bad. I think I prefer the Cherry. The summer ale is okay. I think it needs more citrus, I could taste too much of the bitter aftertaste. The cherry has a stronger fruit taste and it takes away more of the bitter aftertaste. Like I said, overall I think I enjoyed them.

Hmmm I may have to try that Cherry Wheat Ale. I like cherry flavored stuff

I have been into Grain Belt beer lately, it's an old skool beer with a good taste.

I have heard that Smithwick's is good. But I don't necessarliy like a heavy beer. I am not much into Guiness. Is Smithwick's as heavy as Guiness? Darlene, you probably know some good beers to try though. I am open to suggestions.

Woo if you stop by I will share some of mine with you. That way you can try it. I wasn't sure about it, but the guy at the beverage store let us try a little before I bought the case. Before that, he noticed us hanging out in that aisle and brought us over a sample of a French type beer made by Two Brothers Brewing outside of Chicago  (I think that was it). It was okay. Again, it is better if my beer doesn't really taste too much like a beer. I look for something refreshing.

Sometimes I have a problem getting enough protein in a day. I have an acquaintance who suggested a Whey Protein powder. Most of them come in a huge container for like $25. But I don't want to spend money on a huge container without trying it first. So I found one that came in little packets so I could sample it.

Nature's Life Healthy Whey Pro-96

THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I HAVE EVER TASTED! I have the perfect metaphor for it, but I'm afraid I'll make people sick mentioning it. Just trust me, don't try this. I can't believe people drink this...

By themselves, most whey protein powders do taste horrible. You have to mix them with something other than water to mask the taste.

I mixed it with milk.  Still worst thing ever.

 

I bought some green bags (as seen on tv, but I got mine in Walmart). They are totally awesome. I have some celery I bought on the 18th to take to E's school. I had a bunch left and they have been in the frig and bag ever since. I pulled them out today and they were just as crisp as tasty as they were on the 19th! Also I have used them for fruit and veggies in and out of the frig. I paid 10 bucks for about 20 bags, and they are reusable. They have made my produce last longer than anything!

I got some for Christmas. I'm trying them on some bananas.

I bought a bunch that was just about perfectly ripe. Have you tried them with lettuce yet?

I just wondered how it works. Lettuce usually ends up going bad on me.

Mimmosas are wonderful!!

quiet a while back we were talking about teeth whiteners -- professional, the strips, the goop & trays, ect.
anyway, my teeth are showing their age and i've never had them professionally whitened because i'm too frugal. i picked up some Arm & Hammer Whitening Booster last week at the drugstore. It's a clear gel that you use with your toothpaste.   After just a few uses, I am able to see a difference. I give it    and well worth the $5 or $6  cost.

Good for you CP

Well keep it up man...there are other ways to relax.
