National Drink Beer Day
… September 28th. Who am I to ever need a reason to drink beer, let alone the best reason ever conceived, lol. HAPPY NDBD!!

Stella for lunch at my 2nd favourite TO joint …
War Horse, Allen’s, and Beer!!
July 18th was a great day. Tiffany K and I were so excited about seeing this play, we heard so many great reviews and it lived up to expectations and then some. The intimacy of the The Princess of Wales Theatre was perfect. The production was flawless … and we had the best seats … right in the middle, and the first row with a step, so we were slightly more elevated than rows in front of us … I’m guessing about 40′ from the stage. Afterwards for dinner we enjoyed the patio atmosphere at my favourite Allen’s (I know I’ve blogged about it many times before, but I love it … and don’t ask what I ate, you already know, lol … I’m so predictable). Always love the beer selection provided, and was happy to see Unibroue available, but not on tap – drat, no draught … bottles only. With Audrey’s recommendation, I quickly ordered a La Fin Du Monde (it’s funny; waitress asked me if I ever tried it before, admitted no and she was happy to tell me how very good it was) and WOW … is it ever good (thanks Audrey, lol), but strong too … and when waitress came back asking if I wanted another one, told her … “listen, I’d love to have five fucking more … but I also want to be able to leave walking out of here without any help”. And at 9% alcohol, erred on the side of caution and switched to the summery Blanche De Chambly, and its more manageable 5% alcohol. Also, good news and bad news: The bad – no more sweet potato fries and blue cheese dressing. Something about everybody jumping on the bandwagon, so Allen’s jumped off. The good – with burgers they no longer charge for tomatoes, or lettuce or onions … or whatever it was (condiments presumably expected to be gratis) some of you complained about, used as an excuse to never go … well now YOU can’t … guess I’ll see you there, lol!! 😉
