24 hour Diner..The Greasy Spoon

hot ones... that is the only type i buy.

Cold Sunday in January, good soup weather.

Y'know, you're onto something there. How about a roasted red pepper soup with a grilled Pepperjack cheese sammich?

Colder Tuesday.. Never had red pepper soup.. Have to look that one up..

I've only had it the one time, and it's many a year ago, now, but I do recall that it was just fantastic.

Here is a good Recipe:

And tonight it's a Modelo Especial chelada.

I tried bud light chelada.. IT WAS NASTY!!

Yeah, I've tried that one, too. Tastes like a V8 that went bad. But the Modelo Especial version is fairly decent, particularly when it's frosty cold.

I like Modelo, just not with clamato juice..

what is this chelada thingy? guess we might find out in a year or two..... they only JUST started sleling bud lite, over here - and still no PBR to try out.

Chelada is Beer mixed with Clamato juice (Clam and Tomato juice). I reviewed it once, it was awful.

I don't think Modelo's uses Clamato in it. Just beer, lime, and salt.

@Madeliaette -- a chelada is a beer with typically lime and salt. But there are variations with other things in them, like beer and clamato (which is how the Budweiser one is done). IIRC, the beer/lime/salt is the Mexico City style, while beer/clamato is more like northern Mexico style or something.

It's Beer Review #91..

Now THAT wouldnt be bad. I might try that..

Here is the review Maddy.. Bout halfway down the page.

It's really SO good. I can see doing the Modelo version during the summer when it's 110+ here. VERY refreshing. The Budweiser version is more of a "red beer", a.k.a. (mostly ineffective but very popular) hangover remedy.

As for dinner tonight, since I got paid twice today (once handsomely by the magazine I work for and once OBSCENELY well via book royalties) I'm having Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select on ice, and just ordered dinner of Lamb Souvlaki, Dolmades, seasoned rice, and Greek fries. Meanwhile, I'm vaping Hurricane Vapor's "Twilight Cavendish" which isn't even commercially available yet, but which is an AMAZING fusion of Cavendish-treated burley, honey, and French vanilla.

Although were polar opposites as far as political views go, you don't seem like such a bad guy. Sometimes I just think you like to argue, and so do I some times. It relives stress. Have another beer.. I got some Bitburger and Miller Lite..

nibbles some ginger snax....

No Beer Maddy?

My Aunt gave me some 3-way chilli cheese dip for the Super Bowl..

i had half a bottle chang today - saving the other half for later (one of those huge 660ml ones)

Won't it go flat??

well.....i forgot to check....it tasted beery still...guess the bubbles dont matter!!on the champers tonight.... celebrating my son getting his first real paid job. ok its only stocking shelves overnight at a supermarket - BUT it is paid/permanent/and if peeps did not put stock ON the shelves - nobody could BUY it, could they?

UUUGH.. Flat beer is NASTY... And Hey Maddy, A job is a Job.. I stocked shelves at night at a Kroger store here.. I loved it.

well it didnt taste nasty, so... yeah son has already picked up an extra shift this coming week - 3 nights instead of 2.
off to the indian store shortly....

Good for him Maddy, I hope he likes the job.

Interesting trick with flat beer -- at least it seems to work all right with American swill beer -- is to drop just a pinch of salt in. If you keep it to just a tiny pinch, you shouldn't taste the salt, but you do get "new bubbles" -- not for more than a minute, of course, but it'll be good for a long swill.
