Man, ain't Fanta some shit? Yes, I am talking about the orange-flavored carbonated drink.

(photo courtesy of wikipedia, see source here) ---- As any poor/working class Mexican kid born in the 90's can attest, carbonated soft-drinks were our regular poison. My particular liquid venom of choice was Sprite/7UP. Yes, even during my early elementary school years, you could tell that they tasted the exact fucking same. ---- The fact that both Coca-Cola and Pepsi were so gung-ho about how you could totally tell the difference was some bullshit. The only fucking difference is that you could buy one for cheaper because a ton of people have the returnable glass bottles, so you could get them at the store for like 1.50-to-2 MXN pesos, so a 3-member family could drink their high-containing fake-sugar beverage for next to nothing. 6 Pesos for three whole drinks? That's fucking madness! ---- Ever since around 2017, I haven't drank these more than maybe once a month/once every two months. And now that I've had to drink these things during a couple of nights in a row, something hit me: Past me was an unsuspecting genius. Legit, nothing helps you out of a hangover quite like a Sprite or 7UP. ---- I don't know where I'm going with this dweeby-ass story, so I'm putting a cap on it, other than yay! Sprite! The ideal drink for hangovers! See ya' tomorrow!

#133 for Joe & Chloe

133. If you’re going to be sick, do it in the soup so rest of us don’t need to suffer.

--

Joe Cruz never got sick. It was a point of pride. He'd suffer through any illness and never complain.

Whenever he said that, his entire firehouse of coworkers would laugh at him because as soon as he got even the hint of manflu he would be like a child.

Today he was sitting up in bed, flat 7up beside him as he watched daytime tv. Something had messed with his stomach, making him call out from shift and sit there helplessly. Chloe came in, running her hand over his head and handing over a bowl of soup.

"How're you feeling?"

"Ugh. It's like the worst hangover of my life except I wasn't drinking. It reminds me of that night Otis and I had to trade off in the bathroom because we drank some homemade Russian moonshine."

"If you’re going to be sick, do it in the soup so rest of us don’t need to suffer." His wife dropped a kiss to his forehead before leaving the room with a smile and a promise to check in on him in a few hours. And even though he felt so bad, he grinned at her leaving.

I went to my birthday social on the 15th and I drank 4 alcoholic beverages for the first time, and the last drink I consumed made me feel tipsy because I forgot it was alcohol (It was fizzy like a soda, and tasted like 7up with a prominent aspartame-like aftertaste.) so I chugged it and then I was like “Wait, no, stop” to myself. (I think it was a kind of vodka)

Well anyways, after the social I went home, stayed up all night having a mini party at home until about 7:00am with family, and then went to sleep and slept the day away, the later night, and most of the next day.

I never woke up with a hangover because I drank water between drinks, and ate bannock bread also. I was just really tired because my hours were messed up  (still are)

People gave me good advice on what to do when drinking, because they knew I was a first-time drinker, but I already knew what to do to survive. (I also happen to still be very aware while intoxicated)

Family said they would be holding my hair back as I puked in the bathroom, and they would be picking me up off the floor after.

It didn’t happen and they all woke up later with headaches.

I also got a bottle of wine as a gift

[keepitcreepy]

i haven’t been on here in forever, but i have something i wrote out and idk if i want to put it on fb.. and then i remembered TUMBLR!!! 

(btw i mentioned a dream with reference to an assault and talk about feeling crazy. heads up 7up) 

had a legit nervous breakdown on thursday.

i woke up like i normally would, but i could feel it in my bones that it was going to be a hard day. i made it to work, and in the middle of my first haircut i started to feel a migraine coming on. my eyesight started getting all funny.. i finished my cut, and the one after it. and they were fucking gorgeous btw. and then i went home to try and fight off the migraine. i couldn't. i just sat in different places all around my apartment and panicked. it was fucking horrible. all i could think about was all the horrible things i've done in my life. i was like, unraveling 31 years or terror, instance by instance. it was... a lot. after HOURS of chaos, i started to get ready for a show. i kept looking at myself in the mirror, and i couldn't see me. i just saw the bags under my eyes and this like, idk whose eyes i was looking at. i felt like i was on drugs. then cella came over and helped me realize that i was in no shape to finish putting on my bald cap and going to a club. thankfully. i just sat on the floor and cried, while she tried to tell me how i really was, but i couldn't hear it. finally, i started to come out of it. but i still had one foot in the "i'm worthless garbage" door.

it's like for 15 years i was just drunk, and didn't deal with anything i said or did. i mean, i know that i grew and evolved and positively impacted the world around me during that time. but i also masked a lot of myself, i hid in hangovers and treated my anxieties with booze. and now that i took the booze away, it's like all those little monster are knocking at my door. liiiiiiiterally had dreams that there was a man knocking at my window last night, angry with me because i told the family that he was climbing a tree with, that he raped the girl who lived in the room before me. he was pleading with me in all kinds of calm and rational ways to stop telling people, to go back and tell the family that i was crazy and lied. then, at the bbq next door, his friends were rolling their eyes at me. like, "yeah we know, but look how he dances slow and off beat. he really loves cheeses".

anyways. i thought the hardest part of not drinking.. would be the not drinking part. but as it turns out, that seems to be the easiest. it's all these feelings that is the hard part. mmm excpet for this very moment where i just gave myself a wetty thinking about bourbon sliding down the back of my throat. IT'S ALL THESE CHER DAMN FEELINGS! it's looking at myself for real, and being disappointed. looking at my behaviors and being disgusted.

i know that at some point, i'll get to look at myself and be proud and in love once again. but rn, it's hard.

Wisconsin, Wisconsin

There is much more to Wisconsin than cows and the Packers. In fact, we have a few beverages and dishes that you really can’t find outside of the state. Tonight, I’m going to introduce a few of any true Wisconsinite’s favorite things. Don’t get me wrong the packers and cows are still among the most important “Wisconsin” things you can find but a large aspect to our culture lies in what we eat and drink.

I’m going to walk you through an average order in Wisconsin. After the table is sat, be sure to walk up with a large smile and introduce yourself. People love being able to call you by your actual name. Once the greeting and “specials” spiel is over you need to get drink orders.

             What can I get you to drink?

1.       Korbel Old Fashion Sweet

An Old Fashion is such a native drink to Wisconsin that outside of the borders you are lucky if someone knows what you are asking for. Brandy is a huge deal in Wisconsin, especially Korbel. There are many ways you can order an Old Fashion but an Old Fashion “sweet” is the most common. “Sweet” means sierra mist, 7up, or another sweet light soda. Another major component to a true Wisconsin Old Fashion is that it is hand muddled, meaning that you squish and grind a cherry, some white sugar, a splash of sweet, and a few splashes of bitters together. Some bars also muddle with a slice of orange for extra flavor. Once it is ground together, fill the cup with ice then add a shot and a half of the liquor of choice. Then top it all off with another splash of sweet and garnish with an orange and a cherry.

2.       Whiskey Manhattan

Manhattans are also commonly made with brandy. A regular Manhattan is 3 shots of the liquor of choice, over a full glass of ice, and a very light splash of sweet Vermouth. Many Wisconsinites also order Manhattan Perfect’s. A Perfect Manhattan is again the 3 shots of the liquor of choice and then a light splash of both sweet AND dry Vermouth. Many customers will tell you their preferred garnish. Commonly the garnish is either cherries, olives, or mushrooms.

3.       Bloody Mary with a Chaser

Typically, customers will order Bloodies in the morning as a hangover cure. Don’t let anyone fool you though-- a Bloody is good any time of day for any occasion. All establishments make their Bloodies completely different. It’s a HUGE deal if the public dubs your Bloody as “The Best in the Area”. A notable example is the famous Milwaukee bar and grill called Sobelmans which is gaining fame for their crazy huge Bloodies, they are an art! Although every place is different, the basics to a Bloody remain mostly the same. You start with a large glass of ice, pour a shot and a half of vodka, add a decent amount of Bloody mix (sooo different depending on the bar/restaurant!) which is tomato based with varying seasonings, then a few shakes of celery salt, worcestershire, and maybe some pickle juice. Now garnishing…. This is a million times more diverse than the Bloody itself and is usually what makes a restaurants Bloody Mary famous compared to the actual taste of the drink. Most commonly you place a pickle spear, olives, mushrooms, and a celery stalk in the drink. Another common occurrence with Bloody Mary’s is ordering a beer chase on the side. A typical chaser would be tap Spotted Cow or baby Miller Lite. Of course, this is by personal preference and a customer can order any beer as a chase, however, Spotted Cow and Miller is very common and very Wisconsin.

** All of the drinks above vary in size as well as the glass its served in. Be aware that these liquor amounts also vary and the amounts above can be considered on the “light” side. **

               Can I grab you an appetizer?

After ordering or mixing up drinks, it’s time to ask if the table would like an appetizer to start off. The majority of the time smaller groups of customers will pass but anywhere from four + people will order an appetizer. Any Wisconsin establishment will have a variety of fried favorites to choose from, but there is one in particular that no Wisconsinite can pass up.

1.       Beer Batter Cheese Curds

A fresh cheese curd made from a local creamery will squeak when you bite into it. Don’t believe me, find a local grocer that gets fresh cheese curds and squeak away! With a fresh brew of cheese curds, you then dunk the curds into a mixture of beer and dry batter to coat the naked curd. Then simply drop the coated curds into a fryer. Once they float and turn a golden brown, they are done. Then, there it is right in front of you, the fried delicacy of Wisconsin.

               Are we ready to order some dinner?

Once the appetizer has been dropped off, you can ask your table or bar patrons if they are ready to order dinner. Be sure to ask for all the sides and how they would like things to be cooked. If not, the cooks will happily chew your ass until you go ask. Wisconsin restaurant culture is either Family restaurant, Bar & Grill, or Supper Club. Yes, we have specialty places, but we are talking about your typical Wisconsin eateries. Anyways, the places mentioned above will have #1 every single Friday and probably serve #2 in some shape or form throughout the summer months.

1.       Fish Fry

An authentic Wisconsin Friday includes heading down to your favorite eatery and getting the Friday Fish Fry. This is similar to the Old Fashion in that many people outside of Wisconsin don’t know what you are talking about when you say Fish Fry. The Fish Fry consists of a white fish, generally Cod, that is deep fried and served with creamy coleslaw, a dinner role, tartar sauce, and some form of potato. Most eateries give the option of all you can eat fish or smaller options of either 2 or 3 pieces.

2.       Brats

I have yet to be to another state (minus right across the border Minnesota, Illinois, or Iowa) and been able to order a Brat. It’s not a thing anywhere other than Wisconsin. Our MLB team, the Brewers, have sausage races in between innings as tribute to our German heritage and the brat. It’s basically a form of sausage with different seasonings that you boil in beer and onions, then grill for more flavor. You then serve a brat in a bun with sauerkraut and whatever else on the side. It is less common in restaurants but is still a number one for family cookouts on the weekends.

I hope you have enjoyed this week’s blog and will be daring enough to try out some of Wisconsin’s favorite beverages and cuisines!! Stay tuned for next week!

Why have I only just discovered that 7Up is the waaaaay less sugary version of Sprite? I was looking for a sugar rush and that familiar tingling at the back of my ears that comes with the first gulp of a Sprite but, instead, I got the taste of slightly sweetened carbonated water. Now, don’t get me wrong, sometimes that’s a good choice but on this day I was battling a hangover and my body desperately needed the aforementioned rush of carbonated sugary goodness. Oh well 🤷🏾‍♀️ #food #abuja #foodanddrink #photography #nigeria #instagrammers #restaurants #review #restaurantreview #igers #instagood #photooftheday #foodporn #picoftheday #instalike #instadaily #instafood #foodie #delicious #yummy #instacool #foodstagram #dinner #foodblogger #beautiful #photographer #7up #drink #softdrink (at Abuja, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqipyu7Bf-7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fdg9nhsn7zvx
