in my next life i'm gonna be a yeti impersonator
Met up w/ D & S (or their evil twins) at Dain's tonight for trivia. And we won. Go us! Or more accurately, go D. I'm pretty sure that his knowing the amino acid that cats have to get by eating meat (taurine) and the bonus point organ that's impacted if they are taurine deficient (eyes) was what secured our 1 point win. I was pleased that there were a few questions I was able to contribute answers for: the pr0n star who ran in the Grey Davis recall election (Mary Carey); also I was able to recognize the Japanese title of My Neighbor Totoro.
good times...
Along than winning trivia, another highlight o' the evening was that Dain's has Triangle Belgian on tap. I'm still not completely converted to Belgian ales but they're definitely moving up on my personal list. In other beer/food updates, Sarah and I had dinner at Federal the other night. That was the first time we'd been there in probably 6+ months after a really disastous experience. But Monday was great. Yes, it was a bit crowded and noisy. But the service was great. Orders were taken promptly. The drinks came out quickly. Hennepin on tap. Awesome. And the food came out so fast and it was outstanding. I had the fish and chips special. Ohmigod it was good. Fish was fried about as good as it gets. And the garlic fries were to die. Plus really good red cabbage slaw on the side. Sarah had the carnitas which she said were good, as they usually are. I didn't taste any as I was too busy snarfing down my fish & chips. Very much a pleasant surprise. We're looking forward to going back.
