Wine and Cheese, Not for Me

-


Wine gives me headaches. Not sure if everyone is the same. I can't drink it without feeling sick. Maybe it has something to do with only drinking cheap wine. 



Barefoot is my go to wine. But, the only time I drink it is when someone offers it. My girlfriend is more of the wine drinker in our relationship. Unfortunately, she doesn't drink often. I'm the one left to finishing the bottle every time. Which might be the reason why I prefer Barefoot to other wines.

My second choice for wine is Boone's Farm. Let me tell you about Boone's Farm. The first time I had one my dad and I went to Wal-Mart one night, but before we went in we both downed a bottle of Strawberry Hill Boone's Farm in the parking lot. He dared me, so I dared him back. Now, that wasn't the greatest of decisions. I threw my head back and inhaled all 750mL of that delicious strawberry delight. 

I was sick. We walked that Wal-Mart to sober up. 

Didn't work.

Fortunately for me it all didn't hit me till I got home. What helped with the headache was Shiner. Lots of Shiner. What I like about Boone's Farm is how cheap it is. Large bottle for five dollars is a deal.

Wine is sophisticated. Or at least that's the image people give it. You can get wine out of a box or in the back of a gas station. Not much of a sophisticated drink anymore.

What pairs well with wine nowadays is simple family games like Sorry or Battleship. Another choice would be a co-op game like Pandemic or DnD. You want a game where you must discuss strategy. Get the mind going. Deliberate over your next move.

As for me, I’ll stick to cheap drinks. Maybe in the future I’ll change my mind and seek out fancier wines, till then Barefoot and Boone’s Farm will be in my glass. By now you should know my preference.


Enjoy your drinks and game on.

Three Solo RPG Resources

-

Playing an RPG solo can be difficult. It doesn't have to be with these suggested resources. I admit that I do not get out as much as I should. It can be difficult some days to leave the house. Especially now that the weather here in Texas has just gotten bad. Not that weather influences my decisions anyway. I do not mind being introverted. Some say I am missing out and I agree to a certain point. I have played DnD 5 th edition online using the site https://roll20.net/ . There is something missing when you do not have that human interaction. I played groups with people all over the world. The problem is you do not know these people and sometimes the group does not always get along. It is easier to leave an online chat versus in person. Instead of meeting faceless people, I would rather play alone. Looks daunting at first. The people I do want to play with have no interest in roleplaying. I understand. Not everyone wants to. I am not always up for going out to game

Mini Liquor Bottles: The Good And The Bad

-

This post is brought to you by four mini liquor bottles. Small doses but added all up together they give quite the punch. I'm going to name off the good and bad of these little devils. Let’s start positive with the good. 1. Price On average you will be spending anywhere from a dollar to two. Small investment for a quick taste. Beer may not be for everyone. A little bit of liquor makes for a good alternative. 2. Variety Inexpensive bottles are the best way to try out new drinks. A handful of bottles can give you the opportunity to try drinks you normally wouldn't. Not all tequila is good. I managed to find my new favorite today. Only a dollar was spent, and I can live with that. Imagine dropping forty-five dollars on a bottle you hate. I would still drink it. I can't speak for others. Now for the bad  1. Only one bottle Let's say you find a drink you like.  Great. The problem is you only bought one bottle and the li

How to make Brass Monkey (My Way for 2019)

I am going to tell you my 2019 recipe for making Brass Monkey. Super simple and you'll be asking why you never thought of it. Been a little while since I have posted. There's a good reason for my absence. It has something to do with this recipe. My new favorite drink. Cue the Beastie Boys. I'm talking Brass Monkey. How did I get to this point in life that the only way to numb the pain is with a 90s house party staple? Well, it all started with underage drinking. Statistically, if you were an underage drinker then you are more likely to become a heavy drinker as an adult. Or whatever. I swear I read that somewhere. I am going to tell you how I create this tangy, poor man's drink my way. First, let's get out the way on how to properly prepare Brass Monkey or specifically what it was and is now. Brass Monkey Original Recipe This may come as a shock, but the original recipe has nothing to do with a 40. In fact, the original Brass Monkey originates back to
