Two slices and a beer

ALRATIBA — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:48:10 GMT

Nothing exciting ... just a bit of trivia.

I've been out for hours up to docs on "Madison Ave.", and traffic is just awful. UN is in session and everything on the East Side slows to a crawl.... so I just got home. Stopped at the deli and picked up two slices and a beer for a late lunch.

Hot dogs and beans/cole slaw for supper! Devils food cake for dessert!

I'll take 2 slices and a beer anytime. That would be me in session.

Yummm to your lunch and dinner. After all that traffic another beer with supper would be warranted. Maybe save dessert for later and enjoy with sips of Franjelico.

Two slices and a shot of Jack Daniels for me. Not a beer drinker but I can do whisky without even the pizzas, much less water or soda.

Sounds good, make mine 2 slices and a gingerale.

Add some chili to that dog and I'm down for dinner too.

@ALRATIBAI can't even imagine! Won't go near the City while the UN is in session, especially when a President is there, too. That's always been a time for traffic nightmares.

I was in the City Saturday just to go from Penn Station to the theater - "walls" of people and cars. No UN traffic involved!

I live on the East Side - not far from the UN ... traffic is unreal when it's in session!

I should have mentioned ... I tried a new beer.

It's called Shock Top ...Belgian White.

It says on the can: Belgian-style wheat ale brewed with citrus peels and coriander. Quite good ...

I spent a lot of time in Manhattan during my career, so I get it. One time when my husband had gone to NY with me, I was working in the company condo and my husband was watching a movie. I ran out and around the corner to the little grocery store and grabbed a bag of popcorn to share and the two bottles of beer my husband wanted. I was standing in line to pay when the guy in front of me turned around, saw my meager purchases, and said drily, “Big night, eh?” I am still chuckling about that.

Two slices, no beer, just fizzy water.

I’ll have the cake for dinner, with a glass of milk.

Hope you enjoy! 😉

@ALRATIBA A team of wild horses couldn’t drag me into Manhattan when the UN is in session. Best of luck! Enjoy the Pizza.

I worked across the street from the UN (809 UN Plaza) in the mid 80's the world was a little saner but the UN was still nuts this time of year. I was actually frozen in the deli next door to my office building while the President Regan's Motorcade moved about
