For some reason I can't bring myself to drink anything alcoholic before 5:00 in the afternoon. I haven't had a beer with lunch for probably 40 years. What's wrong with me?? (never mind, I really shouldn't ask)....
I don't drink on planes, in airports or on days when I work. But I am up at our mountain cabin doing some work. A one beer lunch seemed appropriate. And I am trying to eliminate diet sodas. So beer or water. Choice seemed easy at the time.
My Great Grandfather ran a tavern, my Great Grandmother called it a restaurant. Everyday, after lunch, she'd come down and watch it while he went home to nap. If you came in and ordered a beer, she'd smile and serve it. If you ordered two, she'd frown a little, if you ordered three she'd run your drunk ass out! When business was poor, he'd chop up a bunch of onions, celery and peppers, heat up the grill and throw them on, while he turned the fan over the grill out into the ally. Pretty soon he'd have all kinds of customers, "Mr Charlie, I'll have one of them hamburgers!" I was named after that old coot! He's been dead 53 years and they still can't get grass to grow over his grave! I think he gets out on the weekends!Don't get me wrong, I don't condemn anyone to have a beer with lunch or whenever the urge hits, it's just not for me...
I'm sure you've heard the old saying, "A guy has a beer on a boat at 0600 and everyone calls him a Sportsman, but the same guy has a beer at home at 0600 and everyone calls him a drunk".... Go figure.....
Tried the gumbo at City Barbecue today. WOW. Not much to look at, but boy is it good. ...as are the baked beans, collards, and brisket.

Salad again but with blue cheese, balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing.
Sitting down and eating my ultimate porker now.Took my daughter for a nice long stroll at Umstead. She decided we were having Jimmy John's on the way home. Slim 5 for her and the 10 for me.

Hot pastrami with the metrosexuals in Raleigh today. Village Deli always makes a great pastrami sammich. It was bigger in person.

This one is in Cameron Village, but they apparently have several others in town.I have passed that place everyday for the last 6 years and I say I will try it but never do
Oh I pass the one on aviationThis one is in Cameron Village, but they apparently have several others in town.
I believe it's the same franchise, or local owner.Oh I pass the one on aviation

That is probably good but seems so wrong.
