Beer

I dunno...I'd call it "kicked up ranch." It's viscous and like salsa mixed with ranch. Surprisingly, not awful.

I fear ranch, hold me.

I'm not certain it's ranch-based, it could be sour cream. It's slightly whiter salsa.

But I'm in for the night. Early baseball action tomorrow--I imagine a hangover would make Minor B ball well-nigh unbearable!

Did youse win?

Did youse win?

My kid says yes; technically, there's no scorekeeping. But, every inning we went through the entire batting lineup. Our guys have good emerging fielding skills (though many still get a bit paralyzed once they get the ball if there's multiple bases they could throw to...but, they're 7 and 8 years old and newish to anything besides "always throw to first." ) and we've got some great hitters. The opposing team, though, was not very skilled--very few good hitters (a lot of questionable form) and ...nascent "baseball sense" in the field.

Just back from the local brewery's Oktoberfest. Me husband tried their seasonal brew. I had a Diet Coke whilst listening to the oompah band.

Did you wear lederhosen?

There's a pretty good Oktoberfest in Reading, PA. I went many years and enjoyed food, beer, and the oompah loompa band!

The 'nard's oktoberfest used to be more of a street fair, where the Main Street was shut down and vendors set up booths. Now, it's all been moved to the parking lot of the local brewery. There's the same handful of cheesy carnival rides and sketchy carnies from the town carnival back in July. And, beyond that, a beer garden/pig roast with oompah band. The brewery tapped their Oktoberfest brew today (the husband gave it a thumbs-up).
The town O'fest felt like more of a "downtown" event, which I think was good for the town; now, it feels segregated to the brewery. Plus, sketchy carnies. But, the husband and I demolished a couple dudes at cornhole.

Was Pennywise drinking a beer in the corner? I've never played cornhole.

The Reading Oktoberfest is held at a local brewery.

Pennywise would've fit in better when it was a Main Street event--plenty of storm drains and balloons.

The whole pigs being roasted provided something of a Lord of the Flies element today, though.

I like to sneak up and stick my tongue in other people's dairy products. The dairy dipper, they call me.
