I just got home a couple of minutes ago. I’m really quite exhausted–I was at a bar for 5 hours tonight. All things considered, that’s something that I don’t do all that often. I actually spent the evening catching up with a good group of Toronto based members of the 20 Something Bloggers community at the King St. W location of Bier Markt. Yeah, part of me still says that this, meeting people I met on the Internet, is something that I wouldn’t normally do, except that time and time again I find myself doing it. I’d like to think that I have a good sense of whether people are total kooks online, and so far it hasn’t led me too far astray. Especially with this 20SB group, everyone seems to be genuinely awesome.
Upon looking at the menu for the place, I was sort of determined to get something a bit strange and different for my meal. I ended up getting the foie gras poutine. In terms of drinks, since we were sitting at the bar I had a good view of all of the different things on tap. I couldn’t decide what I wanted, so I just named what was on the tap that was right in front of me. Turns out that was Strongbow Cider, so I stuck with that drink throughout the night. I honestly didn’t know Strongbow is a cider. So, when I first tasted my drink and got something fruity I was sort of surprised. I had 5 pints of that tonight, and frankly I’m still feeling a little bit drunk. All the same, my typing seems to be pretty bang on, so I’m doing well. The only drawback that I can think of right now is that with the poutine my caloric intake for the day is way off target. Oh well: one day of less than stellar eating isn’t so bad.
