Food and alcohol pairings

July 17th, 2008

Sitting here, waiting for laundry, packing for camping.  Discovered an amazing food/beer pairing this evening: Fordham’s Summer Forecast seasonal beer (”sunny, hazy, with a chance of raspberry”) and a pink snowball cupcake (discussion of the delights of pink snowball cupcakes here, though mine were Walmart knock-offs).  Grownup bed-time snack delight.

Confession: I had another pink snowball after the first one, so delicious when paired with the beer.  It didn’t taste as good on its own tonight, though I think that’s just a statement of how good that pairing was, as I’ve enjoyed the beer on its own before.

Second confession: I would love to go to the Great Grapes Festival in Annapolis next weekend.  Taste a little wine, check out a few food demonstrations, listen to some music.  I haven’t disclosed that confession to my husband, which means this is something of an unfair check to see whether he reads my blog.
