Beer and Steaks

A comment left is what prompted this. There was a time I dearly loved to have a few, my preference was rum and coke. Motherhood became a priority and I just quit drinking. I went from alcohol to caffeine.... lots and lots of caffeine.

I am a believer in alcoholism being genetic. That is just my idea.

My children never saw their mom with a drink until the day my son and I had hiked to Chechem Ha Cave in Belize and after the hike we jumped into the jeep extremely thirsty. I had finished my water on the way down and I reached into the cooler that was left for us by the owner of the resort for a drink. The only thing in the cooler was Belikin Beer and I put away two before we got back to the resort. My son was shocked! I took two aspirins and slept till supper. After that day I found it to be a pleasurable experience to sit on the porch of my cabin and nurse a couple of beers before dinner. My son grew use to it but he kept an eye on me.

I am one of "those people" that one is to many and two is not enough. On vacation a couple of beers and any time after that is a taste or a sample. I am a stronger person than I am aware of....

Onto the subject of steak. When mom and I were camping in Spirit Lake Iowa we ran to WalMarts and bought a disposable grill. I cooked us a couple of steaks. I had salad I cut up the night before along with some strawberries. I am finding I am enjoying messing in the kitchen. Usually I am trying to burn it down or I prepare a wonderful concoctions like blue soup. I am not saying I am the best there is but what I lack in expertise I make up in enthusiasm.
