I also managed to squeeze in a Wells Bombardier English Ale, which was a little more bitter than I like in an ale, but had a creaminess usually reserved to stout, which was nice. Blue Moon's seasonal Rising Moon Spring Ale was crisp and refreshing, and although I was expecting a lime attack - it has lime in it - all I got was a very faint hint of lime flavor in the after taste. Pretty darn good, wouldn't get again.
In bigger, more important news, I can scratch one thing completely off my list: I was recently promoted at work to the position of kitchen manager, which will, ideally, have me back working with food and training our staff more on product quality and safety. It should also - again, in theory - allow me to implement and train on new programs I want to start, like cleaning dishes until they are actually clean and more radical goals like keeping hot food hot and cold food cold.
Overall, I am very excited about this move, and hopefully it will help me to get over the "burn out" I've been experiencing from slinging mashed potatoes five nights a week for the last year and a half.
In other, albeit less substantial news, K and I actually enjoyed the first fruits of our garden labor the other night. For Cinco de Mayo, I made a "Mexican" dinner, with homecooked tosdadas, upon which I piled broiled mahi mahi fillets, pico de gallo, and most importantly, assorted mescaline lettuces from our garden! That's right, people; we grew food, and then we ate it. Take that, Green Giant!
Bombardier. Great name. So-so beer.
Not too limey, for a lime beer. 
We grew the lettuce. God and Con-Agra grew the rest.
