Michelada

1 Sol Beer
Juice from 1/4 lime
Sea Salt
Ice
Cold, frosty mug (purchased at Canadian tire for about $4.99, as both WalMart and Safeway had none)

***

I saw an episode of "Mexican Made Easy" on the Food Network a few months ago, and the hostess (Marcela Vallodolid - she looks like a younger, latina version of Mariah Carey) was preparing all these treats to watch the big game. I'm not sure if the big game was "soccer" or "football", but she prepared some tasty treats, including some Micheladas.

I don't know if I was supposed to use sea salt, but I thought it would be cool. So some lime juice on the rim, some sea salt, ice in the mug, some lime juice in the mug then follow it up with some beer! Wow. And before you can say "Bob's your uncle" you have yourself a Michelada!

Hmmm. It was okay. It wasn't as refreshing as I was expecting it to be. She basically said you had to drink it fast before the ice melts. I don't know, I might as well just have had a Sol or Corona by themself(ves). It was interesting, and I'll probably give it a second chance.

The photographic evidence:

The grade: about a 6.4 out of 10.0.

Food Don't Lie - Contest Winner

Winner, winner chicken dinner!!
1 Alabama Calaboose

***

Indeed, miracles do happen. While Alabama did not correctly guess the #1-viewed page on Food Don't Lie (he guessed Phuket Prawns, which was the 3rd most-viewed) he was the only one to submit a guess... The correct response was:

Yes - fish sauce is the winner!

Below, you can see a photo of |the self-coronated "Prince of Montague" when he found out that he had won the Chef Jebediah Culinary Challenge, Part Un:

Notice the Yorkton-esque haircut? And the denim made from the finest tailors in White City? And the gnarled hands stuck inside the front (to obviously make up for a lack of "bulge" in his pants) of the aforementioned "jeans"? Indeed, Alabama is riding high on life. He gets a free meal from Chef Jebediah...
