Ah, Summit! Now that I'm in Minneapolis, that's what I drink too . . . but I sure miss those days back in Vermont when my friend Suze (Susan A-R to you) and I would drink local micro-brews: Magic Hat No. 9, Otter Creek Christmas Porter, and Long Trail Ale . . . those were the days, right Suze?

We used to say there were four food groups: beer, coffee, chocolate, and garlic. We figured they were pretty balanced because two were liquid and two were solid . . . often our goal in an evening or a weekend was to make sure we got to all four food groups . . .
