Tried Queens Blvd IPA. Good and very hoppy. Queens Brewery data: Session IPA, aggressively hopped with Mosaic, Mandarina Bavaria, and Topaz.



Had this one recently. Also, very hoppy.



That time of year, conference playoffs, then NCAAs. Basketball watching heaven. Duke / North Carolina game last night was great. I don't favor either team, just like watching good, hard-nosed B-Ball.



A great A-10 game, with Jack Gibbs taking over in crunch time. #9 Davidson beats #1 seed Dayton. Steph Curry did the same. Will Davidson make a run ? Update: Davidson just got crushed by Rhode Island, they won't make the NCAAs.



Kindle free book as well as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.



One of my favorites Jim Harrison. Writing about food and Wine.

“Sometimes the only answer to death is lunch.”

"How feebly the arts compete with the idea of what we are going to eat next."

"Any fool knows that red wine is the best energy drink if you keep it within two bottles."



$10 win.



Getting rid of Preet Bharara was wrong.

Happy New Year ! Remnants of last night's get together. Still have lots of food and it will be gone by tonight. Somehow, I now have a bottle of Merlot, a half-gallon of Skyy Vodka and a quart of Johnnie Walker Black.



I have to give props to Buffalo Wild Wings. Every Tuesday their wings are on sale. Yesterday, same deal. 125 wings for $81.66.



Just watched the movie on TCM. This one looks pretty interesting.



I have read Jim Harrison in the past and this one landed on my Amazon gift card purchase.

Happy President's Day !



It has been a while since I read any Fiction. The River Swimmer by Jim Harrison will be the next in line.



'Wichcraft has a nice sandwich:slow roasted cured pork shoulder, pepper relish & fontina on grilled country bread $9.87. Well, it is tasty but for almost ten bucks it is extremely light on the meat. Had a great Tomato soup with the Sandwich. Brought me back to my childhood where Soup and Sandwich were Lunch standards.

I am all alone on this dreary rainy Sunday. It won't be long and the house will be full again. So I cook for the week: Chicken Cutlets, Sausages, Meatballs and Pork Chops. Been taking lunch to work lately, better than eating out. I usually print out some reading material. The best of last week was an interview in the Paris Review of Jim Harrison.



Sometimes you have to go Old School: Samuel Smith Brewery.



This and The Oatmeal Stout are classics.



Finishing up Chernow's Washington: A Life. My admiration for our first President has increased ten-fold. Also, I always knew Madison was interesting but now I have to dig deeper.
