Deep In The Forrest

My neice, Kristie , invited us to a "Beer Tasting" event at Raffe's Beer Garden (photo taken from link). I know what you're thinking, Mr. J in a Beer Garden? Sounds like his own private paradise... haha. Yes, we went and it was very nice, although the "set-up" between the beer table and the line for the food was not arranged as well as you might like, I guess with the space allotted they set up the best they could. The food was fantastic! You know how I feel about mediterranean-style foods, and of course my favorite tends to be the Dolmas (Stuffed Grape Leaves). Raffe's is Syrian-mediterranean. "Raffe's Beer Garden sells more than 200 varieties of beer from all around the world." The event boasted a "Beer Tasting, Good Food and Belly Dancing"... The belly dancer, a real arabic dancer I was told, was very talented. She balanced a sword on her head and supposedly dances with a snake, but the establishment I think told her not to u...

Hypothetical for me today, since I haven't even done any drinking... but in honor of my drinking story from yesterday, I thought we could ponder 'favorite hangover foods'. Now, assuming that at some point the next day you chow down, whether it is followed by a bit of the 'hair of the dog' that bit you, combined with some aspirin or ibuprofen, or a pizza... I'd love to know what hangover food really gets you back on your feet. For Rodney and Sal's auntie Tamra and myself, we used to hit up Taco Bell , and wash it down with a good ole Mountain Dew . I don't fancy thinking about hangovers, as they sure can be rough... that combo pretty much put the spring back in our step.
