I really, really beg to differ on that. MB is cheaper for some groceries, but Hannaford is cheaper for a lot of others. I also save beaucoup bucks with their affiliation program. Market Basket has never been the same since the strike.

And there’s a Hannaford in my town. And nothing else!

OK, OK, topic. I’m drinking Bread & Butter Chardonnay. While my wine palate is not very good, it’s still better than my wallet can justify for weeknight solitary imbibing.

Sweet tea. Lemon wedge.

Ice cold Perrier ... after a sweaty walk ...

Say what? I must have missed that.
I was always amazed at the workers in Somerville proudly wearing 15 year service pins. That was a place with bustle! Actually, a bit too much.

Because no place around here recycles glass I try to stick to box wine. (I don't know in the final analysis if the box liner is worse than any amount of glass.) In Italy you used to be able to buy wine in your own containers.

The market has sorted itself out. The 5 liter boxes are generally acknowledged to be industrial solvents. The 3 liter boxes have some pretensions to being wine. For a nice dinner I'll stick to a bottle.

Currently: a glug of Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon (3l).

Friday Night, Pizza and Talisker Night. The 10Yr.

poohbear_nc · 07-22-2022, 09:00 PM

I'll drink to that! With some Port Charlotte ...

DiapDealer · 07-22-2022, 09:30 PM

I'll complete the trifecta with a bit of The Oog.

Always an appropriate choice!

Ah, the Oog is back in stock in BC. I'll be stopping by my local for a bottle this week!

DNSB · 07-24-2022, 12:54 AM

unsweetened iced tea (heavy on the ice).

DiapDealer · 07-24-2022, 07:17 PM

Zevia Cola. I'm impressed. Quite tasty (and more than a little freaky seeing as how it's crystal clear)!

poohbear_nc · 07-24-2022, 07:56 PM

Talisker tonight methinks

What’s the verdict on this?

I'm proud to say that I have never knowingly ingested Velveeta.
Heck, I won't even touch "New York cheddar" with orangy dye.

DNSB · 07-25-2022, 05:04 PM

I'm drinking Coke Zero over ice.

After looking at the link in @issybird's message, a nightmare about being forced to drink a Velveeta Martini might be on tonight's menu.
