A couple'a things to write home about

Good beer.  Good breakfast.  What else is there in life?  OHHHHH-------- Mondays.

Well, I take that back.  Today was techinically Tuesday, but since yesterday was Labor Day it was really that Oh-So-annoying- How I Hate you - Monday.  

Anyway. 

I had this great beer on Friday:  Saison Dupont.

I had gotten Dad a 6-pack of a Belgian and German beer variety, and this was one of the last 3 that he had yet to open.  We shared it on the deck before going to dinner at the always amazing Roy Ann Diner in Sellersville =)

Here's all the important stuff:

Straight from the Saisoniers themselves:  The Saison Dupont is a top fermentation beer with refermentation in the bottle.
Since 1844, this beer has been brewed in our farm-brewery, during the winter time.  Then this beer became a second refermentation in the barrel.  During the next summer, this very thirst-quenching beer was served to the “saisoniers” which were working on the fields.  Surely therefore, our Saison Dupont is considered as “the classic” among the Belgian season beers!  Coppery blond, the finest aromas and a strong bitterness transform this beer into a thirst-quenchener with no equal, just the way it was created.
Our selection of yeasts is the perfect base for these typical aromas and ditto taste.  A real refermentation in the bottle, which will continue for a long time in your cellar, result into this complex and particular aromatic beer.

Ok, so on to BREAKFAST.  I've been dying (yes- dying!) to try overnight oats.  I've been following Jenna's blog (www.eatliverun.com) for a while, and her overnight oats recipes have really been tempting me.  Since I'm sick of my peanut butter tortillas, and pop tarts are probably not the healthiest choice after my crappy weekend diet at the shore, I thought tomorrow would be a good time to try this healthy, protein-packed breakfast for the first time.  I chose to combine 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of vanilla almond milk, 2 tbsp raisins, 1 tbsp cinnamon (I know, it's a lot- I LOVE cinnamon), and 1 tbsp sunflower seeds.  I threw the combo together in a tupperware and can't wait to have it for breakfast tomorrow at work.  I'm such an early breakfast-eater, it will be hard to skip my normal tortilla-on-the-go and wait until 8!  But I'll keep you posted!
