LOL...I feel like I’m talking to my own self!
IPA is my favorite. Lots of hoppy flavor, West Coast Style Nothing “fruity.” Black coffee, usually one decaf (Swiss water process) which is really bland and one French Roast for robust flavor. I DO like good Cabernet Sauvignon wine and we have lots of them in CA and up into OR and WA.
No soda ever. Well, maybe one or even two per year.
I love fresh-squeezed OJ, though, but it’s a rare treat. It’s now about $20 per quart! Egads. We stopped in Redding, CA last year heading to our Idaho place and, of all things, there was a guy in a pickup truck selling oranges. Those were really good.
Last night I split some chicken breasts and pounded them out to “cutlets,” then breaded them in Panko bread crumbs and a BBQ rub, then fried them in avocado oil. Those were really good! I ran out of Panko crumbs and made a couple more using potato starch flour on a whim. That was really good, too.
...I restrict my Cabernet Sauvignon for when I have a good steak dinner.
Yum, it’s a must.
