Mini adventure, and No, i didn't burn the house down

What to do when you are certifiably going insane during your job hunt? Take off and drink some beer with friends. I've found that usually takes the stress off for a little while. Last weekend I headed down to CT for some skiing (only so so, plus i forgot to sharpen my skiis). I also was nice enough to bring my own beer for once, although it didn't last too long. I packed a 6 pack of Narragansett beer, one of my favorite "crap" beers. For very little money, i think about 5 or 6 bucks at my local Trader Joe's, I picked up a six pack of tall boys to bring over. I chose this beer because, one its cheep, and my CT friend really like cheep beer, and two, I like it, too. While it really has almost no flavor, its still better than bud or busch in my eyes. Its also great on fishing trips, if thats your thing. 

After making the guys some cake in CT and catching some stuff on fire in their kitchen (nothing irreplaceable or irreparably damaged) i made my way to western MA for some more cold weather shenanigans. Which ended up just been some events. More outdoorsing next time, i think. I am wayyyy too lazy. Jeremy had some Founder's Dirty Bastard Scottish Ale in his fridge, which i was really excited to try. It was a pretty decent hearty scottish ale that packed a pretty decent punch at i think 7 or 8% ABV. I brought up some Stockyard Oatmeal stout, also from my Trader Joe's shopping trip. This was a fairly well rounded cheep oatmeal stout. For about 8 or 9 bucks for this six pack, i'd pick it up again if i was in an oatmeal stout mood. Nothing overly impressive, though. 

The most exciting, yet disappointing part of the weekend, i'd have to say, was the half dozen donuts i got. Its my own fault, the cream filled always look so good, but its the classic cake donuts that are glazed that are the best. If you are over at the Donut Man in Hadly, try the chocolate donuts, I think that one was my favorite. Bavarian creme can suck it.
