Three Beautiful Things 01/20/14: The Mess, Nachos..Why Not?, Upright Coffee Stout

1.  Papers, books, compact disks, DVDs, pictures, frames, all unorganized, all a mess in my room and today I dove into all, saw parts of the last twenty years or so pass before my eyes, and continued the project of getting organized and making my desk functional again that I started back in December.

2.  The Deke and I went to chilly Cornucopia and devoured a plate of nachos.  I hadn't eaten nachos in many months -- I don't remember when I ate a nacho last -- and I've been thinking for quite a while that I'd like to indulge in a mountain of corn chips, cheese, peppers, olives, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chicken with some Coca Cola.   We did it.  It was fun.  Now I probably won't have another nacho until I can't remember the last time I had some. (Wait!  Did the fellas and I  have nachos at the Wild Horse Casino over Veteran's Day?  That might be the last time.....)

3.  The Deke and I bought this 25 oz bottle of Upright Coffee Stout at 16 Tons on Sunday and saved it for today.  Turns out it was an unusual stout.  It didn't taste anything like the stouts we usually drink and it came to me that Upright focuses a lot on saisons and that this stout was kind of a hybrid.  The Deke didn't like it and I was kind of shocked by the first sip or two, but as the stout warmed up, I warmed up to it and started to enjoy the stout/sour/lactose/barrel aged qualities of it and there's more for tomorrow.
