Talking food

Not food but

About two years ago, for the first time I tried the best beer I've ever had in my 42-year-old life. It's called Quilter's Irish Death from Iron Horse Brewery in Ellensburg, Washington. Here in Montana it is about $2.50 for a pint can which is 7.8% alcohol. They describe it as a "dark smooth ale." It has 12 IBUs (for "international bittering units"--about the same as a typical hefeweizen or about 1/4 of what you might find in an IPA). Like it is good enough to make me consider a 6-hour trip to the brewery to drink it on tap from their keg.

You're welcome.

Also this year had the best hot sauce I've ever had in my life: Valentina sauce from Salsa Tamazula in Guadalajara, Mexico. Made with puya chiles it comes in a "hot" variety that is a 900 on the Scoville heat units scale (comparable to green Tabasco sauce) and an "extra hot" variety that is a 2100 (comparable to Frank's Red Hot). Doesn't matter, it is mild and delicious either way, and it goes on pizza, burritos, sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, crackers, grits, cottage cheese, I mean you just can't go wrong.
