First time attending a beer fest at Kappy’s. The reps made it fun, but it was too crowded for my liking, with clumps of people mingling around the tables as if they were having a private party. Maybe just as well, I know I’d have purchased more if it had been easier to sample and select.
As it was, we came home with a 12-pack of Blue Moon winter brew, two comped pilsner glasses and a 4-pack of Sacchi. Afterwards, Ron stopped by Andy’s for their Irish whiskey tasting. He made Irish coffee for us this morning: way, way too early for me!
Around mid-day, we’d stopped by iCape to say hello to Peter and his co-workers. Spur of the moment, we had lunch at Estia. Servings were generous and the service excellent, but we were disappointed in the lamb entree and thought the much-vaunted coal-fired oven pizza was so-so. Still, we loved the bread and the hors d’oeuvre sampler: Dolmades, Spanakopita, Loukaniko, olives & feta. We’d like to try some other items on the menu.
Around 5, Ron roused me from my easy chair so we could gas up the truck ($2.179 with our 10 cent Stop & Shop discount) and return a library book.
Snow this morning but it’s clear now (10:21 am). There’s enough going on outside to indicate that Spring will be here soon, but I’m still enjoying the winter break from outdoor work.
Left ear is still messed up.
