i'm a little obsessed.

anyone who knows me

knows that i am not a huge fan of beer.

sure i like hard cider

(i pretty much lived on strongbow

the year i lived in the uk.)

 and i always dig fruit beer,

but beer beer?

no me gusta. 

but this summer while i was in oaxaca

 i was introduced to the michelada.

(in df it's called a cubana,

but the taste is the same.)

 and i fell in love. 

it's beer,

but spicy.

and it has salt and/or chile 

around the rim of the glass -- 

my favorite.

(let's be serious,

people who don't enjoy licking 

the rim of their glass, 

whether it is salty or sugary,

before taking a sip 

of their drink

are total losers.)

so i decided to try to make my own. 

and it turns out that it is crazy easy to do.

i make mine based on taste,

but you add 

lime juice

tabasco sauce

salsa inglesa

(aka. worcestershire sauce)

jugo

(god only knows what that actually is.

maybe meat juice?

creepy.)

 and beer.

delicious.

but today at 711

i discovered this sucker:

did my boozing just get easier?

excited.
