Today was an "on the road" day. I had to go for a mammy today, and we decided to check out the olive oil place across the street afterward. OMG!!! There were some oils and vinegars there that blew our socks off - and we didn't even get to try them all. Olive oil! We are so going back for some oil and vinegar Friday. (Does Chocolate Balsamic grab anyone else????)
After that we had to refill prescriptions so went to the other side of our world. Well, while we were there, just had to go try local beer and a brew pub, Lodi Beer. They've been there for six years - and we didn't know!!!
We each had a 7 beer sampler. I haven't enjoyed beer so much in a long long time. Oh my what a treat - they had some very unique beers - I do NOT like hefeweizen, but today I had the second one that I like, Umma Hefeweizen! (Blue Moon rocks). This one had banana and clove notes - kind of interesting, but the clove got me (think dentist office)but with food it was amazing. Then a Tart Cherry Wheat Beer that was addictive. We split an appetizer sampler plate, stuffed ourselves on really good food. My first deep fried mac & cheese (great with the Hefeweizen!)
I am stuffed, happy, and ready for bed!
