No, it's not the cloudy way I'm seeing the world tonight. This has been one of the most pleasant 4ths in a while, for lots of reasons.
This is a beer that I actually like.
I love a glass of a mellow, berry hinted cab. A martini, once in a while, made with Tanqueray 10, is a beautiful thing. But beer - uh-uh, not me.
But yesterday, while I was shopping for tonight's dinner at our local supermarket, I came upon a wine and beer tasting, and the beer being offered was this wheat beer with raspberries. I know that my son-in-law likes wheat beer with a slice of orange, so I thought this might be a good thing to have for him, so I tasted it. And it was really good. So I bought a six-pack to go with our dinner, along with a nice cab - also very berry.
Both drinks turned out to go very well with the Simon & Garfunkel Grilled Turkey Tenderloins with Roasted Rosemary Potatoes and Garlic and Grilled Romaine and Bell Pepper Salad. I had fun preparing it all on my new grill. It was a beautiful afternoon here in SA. A little overcast, a nice breeze, the temp not much over 90. My little covered patio was very comfortable, and we all had a good time.
We missed Susan's Jim, who had to head back to Iraq on Thursday, but as he left, he did something that endeared him to me forever. He sent a "thank you" message to his "wonderful wife" - on Facebook - for God and everybody to read. That was so cool.
We all had a good visit, though, and I'm feeling very mellow, sipping the last bit of my purple haze and nibbling on the last bit of grilled red onion and yellow bell pepper - how colorful is that!
Hope everybody had a happy 4th!
