17 February 2013

Breakfast: at the hotel, next to the Boot Hill Casino,
  • SOS (with pork!) on biscuits
  • a small cheese "omelet"
  • a pastry
  • orange juice
  • coffee
Lunch: at the Convention Center, cold cuts, potatoe salad and a bottle of Diet Pepsi
Dinner: at the Convention Center,
  • mashed potatoes
  • a piece of boneless, skinned, chicken breast
  • a piece of roast beef
  • carrots
  • apple pie
  • iced water
Post dinner: We went to the Boot Hill Casino, on the way to the hotel and I had two bottles of Bud. I wanted some "Landshark" on tap but "Wild Bills' Bar" does not sell that any more. On tap, they had three pussy er"light" beers, a Wheat  beer and Mic "Ultra" (which to me looks like dirty water that reminds me of diarrhea). I asked the barman if they had "Michelob Lager" and he replied "we have Michelob Ultra". Mic diarrhea er "Ultra" is enough to make me stick to iced water...

Well, Bud certainly is not "iced water" and that is what I drank.

Just 20 years ago, there were so many lagers that I disdained Bud and "lite" beers were a curiosity, on a par with a circus curiosity (i.e. the "bearded lady"). Now, like the flu in late winter, "lite" and "light" beers are everywhere. They have got to be the ultimate victory of wine and whiskey makers...
