I had a couple light pale ales Sunday. Other than that I've been dry. My current favorite beer is from my favorite brewery, Deschutes. It's their light hazy pale ale. 4% alcohol, 100 calories, 4g carbs, full flavor. Delicious. Pretty good deal considering my other favorite is their Fresh Squeezed IPA at 192 calories.

Stumbled onto another great liquored dessert combo:
- AiYu jelly with Manischewitz concord grape wine.

Meh, still looking for a good alternative to Dad’s Hat Rye but easier to get. This isn’t it. It’s good, but way too sweet for my taste (even though there’s no corn). It’s close to a bourbon but with a spicy rye finish. It’s not bad, just not what I’m looking for.

is tonight‘s experiment.
It’s a type of rice-based Chinese liqour called 女儿红,pronounced ”nü er hông”, literally translates to “daughter, red”.
Culturally, it’s a storied liquor that I have been reading about in the literature since I was an elementary school student. The story being that this is the sort of liquor parents would seal and bury a bottle in the ground when a daughter is born, then unearth to drink in celebration when the daughter gets married. It’s a very nice, heart-warming, romantic story.
The liquor’s color is much like western brandy.
Tonight, I finally tasted it. (No, I did not marry off a daughter tonight, I just bought it from a liquor store.) And it’s a disappointment to me … I do not like it at all. It tastes a lot like cooking wine to me. So most likely I will relegate it to cooking rather than drinking after tonight.
