The LJ Prompt for today was interesting. Hemmingway wrote a 6 word story “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Dayv’s was solid too “The unicorn wandered Los Angeles, riderless.” Mine is on topic for the story I’m about to tell, and seems more like an noir novel than anything else “A Mercy Killing never needed more.”

I am about to go see pinneapple express, and it doesn’t strike me as the kind of movie I can see totally sober, so I thought I’d drink a bit before I drove over. My drink of choice for the past few months has been an Irish Carbomb. You fill a pint glass with a bottle of guiness, which leaves some room at the top, then fill a shot glass half full of bailys and half full of jameson. For those who haven’t tried it… you’re really missing out. I’ll have some at my Hot Hot Desert Party this weekend. Only I’m currently out of Guiness. So instead I made a drink that I wanted to call something like “The Down on your luck Carbomb” or “Trailer Park Carbomb” but after drinking my Bud Light, Bailys and Jameson, I found the perfect name for it “The Mercy Killing”. No sooner did I finish drinking it then the horrible mix of WAY too cold bud light, and the other ingedients began to expand and I had these horrible visions of a seagull fed Alka seltzer so I began punching myself in the stomach in hopes of ventilating some of the vapors. I eventually had to clutch my stomach, stumble into the living room and fall into a chair and pant for like 2 minutes. Never was a drink more appropriately named.

I’m going to have one more then go see the movie.

Dinner Tonight Courtesy of Trader Joes:

I just had an amazing dinner. I couldn’t tell you the nutritional value of it or how many calories it was, nor do I care. The flavor content was mindgobbling (Thanks Christian).

So what did I have? Well it was a pretty simple fair. When I was at TJoes I picked up a 4 pack of Organic Artichokes and cooked one of those up. It was delicious, dipped in butter, as predicted and was the least flavorful part of the meal. Part of it was slightly undercooked which was both my fault for not checking the artichokes I bought, and my fault for not using quite enough water when I cooked it.

Next was Trader Joe’s brand Sweet Apple Chicken Sausages and these things pretty much made me mess my drawers. Next time you’re at Trader Joes and looking to pick up something snack-worthy I highly recommend it. They were a mindblowing addition to the meal and gave a nice sweet light taste to the heavier butter soaked artichoke.

Then of course was the piece de resistance (I don’t really know what that means). The Chimay Grand Reserve. I’ll say one thing them Belgians’ sure know how to brew a tasty damn beer. I’ve been growing more and more fond of Belgian beer lately with Blue Moon being good and Hoegaarden being a favorite. But Chimay is mindblowing, and alongside the other two pieces of the meal it was perfect, and it’s nice and thick so I can definitely count it as part of the meal. Next time you think about buying that 6 dollar bud light at a bar, go home and buy a tall delicious Chimay instead.

My god I’m in Gluttonous Heaven right now.
