Chimay Ale

This is one the Trappist Priests got right. I was very nervous about this beer, but it did not disappoint. Great flavors. Paul Rating:A.

UniBroue- Trois Pistoles

Very Good. Paul Rating: A

Tombstone Pizza

In an earlier post, I declared that Angelo's Corner on Hollywood Beach has the best pizza in Broward(Of all I tasted). In the frozen pizza department, I'm digging Tombstone lately. See, I like the taste of cafeteria pizza, its comfort food (Like they always say in Top Chef) to me. It calms my soul. Another added bonus is that lately, Publix has had them on sale for 2.99. When you break it down my wife and I are spending a $1.50 each to have dinner. You can beat that. We usually go through frozen pizza cycles, from Digiornos to California Kitchen Pizza to Red Baron,then we'll switch it up on you punks and go granola with Kashi. We probably have one frozen pizza per week. You don't want to over do it.

Genius and Heroin/ Michael Largo

Is everyone famous F't up? Its a fair question. This book is like a dictionary of famous people, their addictions and how it eventually leads to their death. Truly fascinating and at times disturbing. Why does society hold so high a place for these unstable people? A great bathroom book, but pray you don't die on the toilet like some of the famous people in the book. But your not famous, right? Paul Rating:A.

St. Peter's English Ale

Wow! What a different type of beer, Delicious! I'm still thinking about this beer, which is a very good sign. Beautiful color and taste, somewhat "orange-e" but very, very subtle. Great cleansing finish. Highly recommended again, that makes two in a row. Visit Total Wine to get these beers. Paul rating: A.

Samuel Smith Famous Taddy Porter

Yes! Now this is a real beer. I am liking porters more and more. This has great flavor and is very drinkable. So far I love all of the Samuel Smith beers. Just look at this label on this beer, you know it's gonna be good. Highly recommended. Paul Rating: A.

Unibroue- La Fin Du Monde

Here's another one of those beers that doesn't taste like a beer. I want to use the term "wine-e", but it could even be some other form of alcohol. I am getting a taste for it though, but its not a beer you would want to drink regularly....and what type of beer is that. Paul Rating:C.

Ficus and Garden Update

My ficus has been infected with the whitefly for some time now. I'm not sure if because the weather has cooled somewhat (Don't laugh!) but they seemed to have slowed down on the destruction of my beloved ficus hedge. I refuse to spend thousands of dollars to buy treatment for it, although I know to put up a fence would be probably be triple that. Can't somebody smart find a solution to this?

Before I ruptured a disk in my back, I decided to take out the garden in the back of my yard( A wise move in hindsight). It became too much work, especially the weeding aspect of it. I could never catch up. I am going to container garden now and have bought a couple of books on the subject. I'll probably start a container garden after football season is over.

Samuel Adams Holiday Porter

Samuel Adams puts out good stuff. You can trust these people with beer. The Holiday Porter is solid..... Good flavors, nice finish... What more can you ask for on a New Years Day morning. Paul Rating: A.
