Stout!

I was very surprised I actually liked the Stouts I drank last night. They were not as bitter as I thought. Of course they were much better with those delicious chocolate truffles! So we had a Mendocino Black Hawk Stout, Lost Coast 8-Ball Stout, Deschutes Obsidian Stout, and a Sierra Nevada Stout. The Sierra Nevada was my least favorite. It was a bit too bitter for me. That was my first time ever trying a stout. The other three tasted fairly similar. I emailed Capitol Garage to find out where they bought the truffles from. Hopefully they respond! Maybe it was the beer, but those truffles were excellent!

Watched the Time Traveler's Wife. Well not the whole movie just the latter half of it. It was sad. I don't need to go back and watch the beginning, I got enough of it.

Did you know Seattle is NOT the rainiest city or even in the top 10? In fact, Seattle does not even make it in the top 12 (give or take rainier years and account for anomalies) Basically most cities in the South and the East Coast get more rainfall. However someone described it this way, in the South it's like someone dumps a bucket of water on you every couple of days, in Seattle, it's like someone is squirting you with a water gun every day. While Seattle does not have as much rain as Texarkana (I lived there for 15 years), Seattle is cloudy about 200 days of the year and partly cloudy about 90 something days. So basically you only get about 60-70 sunny days a year. Where as in Texarkana, there are about 215 Sunny days, 90 something days of rain, and the rest are maybe just partly cloudy. Anyway, I'm sure I'd really miss the sun since I've been so spoiled in California. I'm not moving to Seattle, just dreaming. =D
