Mad Cow Disease

A case of mad cow disease was discovered in California this week through random testing. Authorities have assured the public that the cow has been isolated and destroyed and that there is no threat to the public.

Not all cows have been tested, so how can they know for sure? They don't know! If you find a case randomly, wouldn't you want a shitload more cows tested? Like, where there's smoke there could be fire?

But no, one cow is isolated and the problem gets hidden amongst all the other headlines while ignoring the source of the problem.

Breakfast Sandwich

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but $3.75 for a breakfast sandwich is where I draw the line. Making your own at home costs about $1.70 with organic eggs. In this little guy: eggs, habanero jack cheese, spinach, and fresh jalapeno. Just a little kick to get the day going.

18 Reasons

Tonight Andolicious stopped by 18 Reasons in San Francisco, CA, for a seasonal beer tasting. The first beer I tried was a Butchertown Black Ale, followed by their Payback Porter.

The payback porter was rich and malty, perfect for the winter season, but much more malty than one would expect for a porter. Porter by name, stout by flavor, but then again, payback is sweet. The Black Ale by contrast was quick to leave the pallate with the crisp aftertaste of a toasty ale.

Up next was the Farmhouse Pale from Almanac Beer Co. brewed with Organic San Joaquin Valley Plums. Fruity beer? No way. Almanac balances the sweetness of the plums with the subtle fruitiness of a pale ale while packing the punch of a 7% ABV rating.

Next up was Lucky Hand with the Cali Common and their Black Lager. The Cali Common was a cross between a Stella and a Pilsner Urquell- perhaps something to do with the fermentation.

Overall it was a great time at 18 Reasons tonight. Can't wait to go back.
