The Coffee House

I like Vernor floats. Messy

I used to like 'em. But Vernors ain't what it was when it was made by Vernors, in Detroit. Used to have a lot more bite. It's kinda boring, now, IMO

Coffee coffee coffee...yawn. Let’s talk about favorite cocktails. For me, I’d have to say a pomegranate martini made Bonefish Grill style with Tito’s and a nice ratio of Pom juice and mango syrup. It tastes like a Jolly Rancher.

Nope nope nope nope nope.

What you had was a pomegranate cocktail. There are only three ingredients in a martini: gin, dry vermouth, and olives OR a twist.

Mmmmm, martini...

I like my coffee strong and my drinks strong

Oh a purist ehhh! Say it like this

I’ve always found gin to be kind a of gross. I like my drinks sweet...got to balance out my salty attitude.

Ah, see I choose to enhance my natural saltiness and bitterness by taking my liquor straight or mixed with minimal ingredients (Plus, sweet cocktails give me an instant headache. And let's not even talk about the last time I made the terrible mistake of drinking Southern Comfort )

I generally drink one mug of coffee in the morning. And generally do not drink alcoholic beverages. And on that note in roughly 15 minutes i gotta go.

Morning, hosers.

The light this morning was really warm and interesting from the corner gas station's parking lot this morning. I should have done one of those 365* photos instead. This corner is about as classic as it gets around here. Gas station, bait shop, two salons, a weird type of convenience store/dollar store that only exists in cities, a package store, and a Chinese restaurant.

For those not from New England, a “package” store is a liquor store.

Morning, hosers. @JonA_CT: that looks like a pretty little town in the morning! @SquarePeg: RE: "package store" - I've seen those words on signs down here...not often, but it does exist in the South. Most often, signs simply read: LIQUOR. Keeping it real straightforward.

Sunny and chilly morning here...going to be a beautiful January day.

Hahahaha of course. It’s because of our old Puritan ways. Still can’t escape them this time.

This particular one has a sign that’s at least 40 years old probably. I’ll have to grab a picture of it some time. It really looks like it should be in front of a UPS Store or something.

When a New Englander says “I’m going to the packy” now you will know what they mean.

Wine for me.

Folgers Black Silk is pretty good, and we usually have that in the house, next to several bags of other coffees, including Starbucks and other miscellaneous brands. The in-laws prefer Nescafe, so there's a bag of that in the fridge, as well. The MIL buys it when she visits Ecuador (or has someone bring it for her). The non-US version tastes better than the US version.

It's Hump Day! What what!

 

[SquarePeg37 8]

What?

In PA, we have state run liquor stores due to our stupid alcohol laws that are some of the strictest in the US (apparently, according to Wikipedia).

Local pizza shops can sell beer by the six pack, and now gas stations and supermarkets are starting to sell beer, too. Outside of that, you have to buy it by the case at beer distributors. Ugh. Some supermarkets sell wine, but not the same variety as at the state stores.

I have bad gas tonight. I ate a golumpki at lunch. My wife went over to her daughter's. The dog is hiding.

Gary's alcoholic beverage of choice is wine ... straight.

 

[jcdeboever]

We call them Party stores in Michigan.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary gets all his wine directly from the vintners. Due to all his winery memberships Gary hasn't had a need to purchase vino from retail outlets. Everybody sells beer and wine out here. Grocers, 7-Eleven, gas stations, drug stores, furniture stores, et cetera.
