The Bacon Cocktail

January 4th, 2008 12:02 PM

Just reading over this list makes me want to vomit. While, yes, I do love the taste of bacon (who doesn’t? even my veggie girlfriend admits that bacon is great), I’m not quite sure a julep or a margarita deserves such a meaty taste. However, if you do want your bacon fix without the unhealthiness of bacon, maybe you can drink your way to satisfaction with OMG!!! Ponies!!! throughout 2008.

A Good Wine Saves the Day

July 13th, 2007 3:44 PM

In this totally bizarre story, an attempted armed robbery was foiled when the victims invited the would-be robber to have some wine.

After the robber walked into a house in DC and pointed a gun at a 14-year-old girl’s head, the dinner guests reportedly offered him a glass of Chateau Malescot St-Exupery. The robber consented and said, “Damn, that’s good wine.” He then had more wine, ate a little Camembert cheese, and put away the gun. Then, he asked for a hug and left.

Note to self: buy a bottle of life-saving Chateau Malescot St-Exupery, any vintage.

Beer will always have a definite role in the diet of an individual and can be considered a cog in the wheel of nutritional foods.
