Beverly is one of those things that taste so bad that you can't believe it and have to keep trying it just to make sure it was as bitter as you last remembered it.

And I compare the taste more with tequila. Mainly because I treat both as a shot and need something citrus tasting afterward.

I can shoot it, sip it, whatever. LOVE the stuff! Wish I could find it somewhere around here in bulk, actually!!! :)

I was nervous about the Macon game today, but it looks like we have this under control!

I wasn't aware McGruff the Crime Dog did undercover work as a pimp during his early days.

Ugh, well back to beer only when I drink around the world then. And Saki bombs.

They seemed to be one of the few places that cared about their product too...
This is how they made it last trip...though, they did use a large plastic container for the pinapple juice.

Perhaps the tweeter mistook this for "premixed"?

Maybe that was the reason. I don't expect them to cut up a pineapple and juice it in front of me so the plastic container didn't irk me. The cucumber is a different story. That can be done fresh rather easily.

As long as you post pics after you make it, I'm up for either one.
Well, if I do the wings and burger, I need to get started prepping the wings themselves. I'll fry them in veggie oil at 375, then toss them in a wing sauce made of 2/3 cup Franks (gotta use Franks!) hot sauce, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1.5 tbles white vinegar, .25 tsp Worcestershire, .25 tsp cayenne, 1/8 tsp garlic powder.

The burger, I'll make with sauteed musherooms, two slices of white cheddar cheese, two slices of thick cut applewood bacon, a fresh patty seasoned with salt and pepper and splashed with worcestershire while cooking (to get it to soak in the taste) cooked in the hot bacon grease. Served on a toasted onion roll with shredded lettuce. The shredded lettuce is topped with red wine vinegar, touch of basil, touch of oregano, and olive oil. Slice of Uglyripe tomato, and a few red onion rings. Lots of mayo and a touch of yellow mustard.

The fries are the worse, as I'd have to start prep now to cut them into fries themselves, then soak for an hour (so it's an hour before I can start cooking)...then first fry at 375, let cook, second fry at 450.

If I make the loins...

I'll make a rub of fresh chopped rosemary, basil, thyme, kosher salt and pepper. Set the chops aside after rubbing liberally into both sides of the meat. Then I'll saute it in olive oil for about 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, and setting aside to rest.

Then I'll saute some sliced pear in the same skillet and set aside.

To the same skillet I'll add chopped shallots, and let them brown, then toss in balsamic vinegar to deglaze, scraping off all the goodies from the bottom of the pan. Then stir in some chicken broth and let it cook for about 5 minutes and reduce. Then I'll add a of butter.

I'll serve the lamb and the pears over fresh greens with sliced avocado, thin sliced roma tomato, and blue cheese, the whole dish liberally drizzled with the sauce.

With a glass of red wine.

Okay Peeps - I need some advice.

If I report something to my boss, she is either going to shrug it off (not at all likely) or she is going to lose her freaking mind.

The situation involves my ever more forgetful, ever more cantankerous partner G.

Things have been really slow the past two weeks. Absolutely dead yesterday, with a few people coming in early today. Then, while I was in the office finishing up a deal mid-afternoon, we got slammed!

Four groups of people, all legit buyers, were there forever. They had many questions, most of which G could not answer. No biggie. He dealt with any new people coming in, and I juggled the 4 couples.

At one point, he left the floor and went in the back room. As I have mentioned before, I have acute hearing, and I clearly heard the pop top of a carbonated canned beverage. G does not drink soda pop.

When he comes out, I can clearly smell toothpaste (and beer) and he has sprayed the whole back room with Febreze Air Effects. G is a drinker, and often brings Heineken tall cans (500 ml) to work to enjoy after hours. I have never known him to drink in the middle of a shift, however. And certainly not while I am trying to nail down 5 deals. (All coming in tomorrow at 6:30 BTW.)

After G returned to the floor, the Builder came in. I pulled him into the office to ask him a question. (He does not like Purchasers to know who he is, so I always ask him things in private.). He immediately commented on the air freshener smell being a little heavy.

When hubby came to pick me up (an hour late!) I was still working on another deal, and G pulled hubby into the back room and tried to get him to have a beer with him. Hubby declined, pointing out that there were people in the office, and that he had to drive.

Here's the dilemma. Do I mention it to my manager? If she reacts the way I think she will - buh-bye G.
I could escape the nuclear fallout if she confronted G saying the Builder smelled beer in our office. Everyone knows I don't drink, so there is zero chance that I would be imbibing at 4:00 in the afternoon.

G is becoming almost impossible to work with. He argues about everything! And now, he is drinking on the job, while the Sales Presentation area is completely slammed, and I'm trying to nail down offers. The boss said that if G starts costing deals, then he is 100% gone. Sadly, I think we are nearly there.

What say you all?

Shake the cans vigorously when G isn't looking. Muhahahaha

Another thought I forgot to post...

Tried the new flavors at Club Cool. Hated all of them except South Africa, which was delicious! I had several cups. My uncle probably had 10. My dad first tried Beverly. I saw it, but just let him taste it. Does that make me a bad son? :p
Yes.
