I made my famous beer batter onion rings last night
for dinner. There's always about 1/3 a can left over
which I usually pour out since nobody here is a beer
drinker. Now, if it was White Zinfandel, I'd finish it
off myself! haha. The Mister walked into the kitchen
just in time to see Alex chugalugging it down!
Had to laugh at that one.
I wonder if he liked it.

May I just say this is one of my favorite "Triplet" stories! Which brings to mind one of my own, if you will indulge me ... many years ago when my boys were 11, 10, 9 and their cousins were 8 and 7 we hosted them for most of the month of July (my brother-in-law a college prof) ... we had a party one night, with a beer keg ... awakened the next morning to absolute quiet except for the sound of cartoons on the TV ... walked downstairs to the family room and there they were .. all lined up in a row, paper cups in hand, full of beer ~ watching The Flintstones! We still laugh about that one too.
ReplyDeletehaha...oh that is a hilarious story! Thanks for sharing. hahahaha....
DeleteAll I can say is "Cheers!" :-) Take care
ReplyDeletex
:)
DeleteThat stuff looks like the kind of beer that's an acquired taste, Alex is more manly than me to have that haha!
ReplyDeletewell, I wouldn't know...but it made good onion rings. ha.
DeleteBeer Is completely nasty I fear
ReplyDeleteTo my little rhyming rear
But american stuff is even worse
Enough to make one curse haha
But looks like he has a taste for it
Or thought it was in the way and wanted to get ride of that umm spit haha
yes, nasty it is
Deletewon't catch me with it's fizz. lol...
I'm sure he thought it was a coke
I'm surprised it didn't make him choke!
haha be funny if after that the coke no longer tasted good
DeleteAnd he wanted the beer in your hood
Cheers betsy!!
ReplyDeleteand we love onions rings here!
yes, they were delicious. :)
DeleteCan't help but wonder if this was before or after he swung on your bed ;-)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA! OH, now...that was TOO funny! You are a hoot! Very good point!
Deleteooops!! Too funny!
ReplyDeletevery!
DeleteOh my ; ) he probably thought it was soda. Make it a Blue Moon with a slice of orange and I'm there.
ReplyDeleteLove your green glass salt shaker and sugar set.
I'm sure he did think that.
DeleteNow yours sounds more appealing than this cheap stuff!
oh my...makes me wonder what he thought as well...ha
ReplyDeleteoo blue moon, i like that lady cat...smiles.
hmmm...now you guys have me curious! :)
DeleteNext time pour it on one of your houseplants!
ReplyDeletereally? now, why is that? Any kind of houseplant?
DeleteIt also works to attract slugs in the garden--if you have them. I really got a good laugh out of it--can't imagine it was what he was expecting. blech!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you read my sidebar about Alex and then mammahasspoken's comment? I am STILL laughing at that hours later! No, I am sure he did not like it...he was expecting some kind of soda...he's been known to finish my can of coke off when I leave it out. haha.
DeleteSlugs, huh. I'll remember that. No problem, yet, but you never know when a herd of slugs might travel to the zoo. haha.
lol I cannot imagine that he did! We are on the same wavelength as I made a batch of beer bread last night.
ReplyDeleteMmmm..sounds delish. I marinate my ribs in it before they go on the grill...best ribs ever!
DeleteAlex has had quiet a run these past few days!!
ReplyDeleteDid the Mr get the bed fixed?
Did he like the beer?...I take it you and the Mr don't drink beer...I love it at the cottage!!!
But...then again...I love EVERYTHIING at the cottage!! hahaha!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers! {ALEX}
Linda :o)
Yeah, he got the bed fixed...we slept in piece last night and didn't end up on the floor. hahaha.
DeleteNobody is a beer drinker here...I cook with it..ribs, brats, bread, fry batter...but nobody drinks it!
The cottage must make everything better. haha.
I got my husband to drink the non al one from the grocery store
ReplyDeleteIt tastes the same.
Then once in a while we indulge in a nice bottle of wine.
the wine sounds much better...lol...
DeleteAs long as he doesn't drive off with the family car I think he'll be okay.
ReplyDeleteYou'll know he liked it if when you take him shopping he puts a case in the cart. :)
I think we're safe there....although, I wouldn't put it past Spencer to try and drive away. hahaha.
DeleteOh, now if he did that in the grocery, I'd crack up!
That is too funny! What was his facial expression when he realized it wasn't Coke? I've not heard of marinating ribs in beer ... I'll have to give that a try.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's really cooking them in the beer instead of marinating them. I put them in a pan, pour beer over and seal with foil. Cook 4 hours or more at 250 degrees. Then grill or put under the broiler with bbq sauce. They fall off the bone! yum!
DeleteThanks for the details. I'm definitely going to try that!
DeleteWow, too funny! And here's another vote for Blue Moon.
ReplyDeletewow...three votes....and I love the name. ha.
Deleteok...had to look it up. Even the can is pretty. I'm a sucker for a pretty package. ha.
DeleteYeah, it does have a pretty label.
ReplyDeleteI was reading this when my sister called and I start to laugh. She wanted to know what was so funny so I read her your post. She burst out laughing and said, I guess the Mister told her that she didn't have to
ReplyDeleteworry about pouring out the rest of the can. As in Honey, You know that little bit of beer that was left in the can? Yep, why? Well you don't have to worry about pouring it out now. :D :D This is too funny!
I would have loved to see the look on Alexs'face.
The taste of beer alone is hedious to me too, but I love beer battered onion rings. My hubby loves ribs so this might be new thing for me to try. Thanks for that tip.
haha....well, I'm glad Alex could give your sister a laugh, too! Never a dull moment here, I'm telling you!
Deleteoh my gosh, well if he finished it I guess that means he liked it!
ReplyDeleteI guess if Alex didn't spit it out, he must have liked it. He must have thought it was soda! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh Betsy! We have been gone and I am playing catch up in SO MANY areas...but am SO happy to have "caught" this post!!!! LAUGHING! LAUGHING! LOVE IT! SUCH FUN!
