As some of you know, my esteemed spouse<\/a> has become something of a fitness\/nutrition, er, expert (I was going to say “nut” but Heather has educated me that nuts contain a lot of fat, and she does not, so “expert” it is).<\/p>\n

Since she’s gotten into this “way of life” (insanity), we’ve started visiting the local Whole Foods Market, which sells wheat and fiber; wheat, tofu and fiber; wheat and soy; wheat, fiber and soy; wheat, fiber, tofu and soy; soy, fiber, tofu and soy; soy, wheat, soy, soy, fiber and soy; soy, tofu, soy, soy, soy, fiber, soy, tomato and soy; soy, soy, soy, wheat and soy; soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, soy, baked beans, soy, soy, soy and soy.<\/i><\/p>\n

When we hit the antique food aisle (you know, expensive, authentic<\/i> junk food), I found King Lager, a product of Australia, and certainly something of which our Australian friends<\/a> cannot be too proud. Of course, I did not know that then, so I bought a six pack of it. I figured, of course, since it was in a health food store, it must be good<\/i> for me.<\/p>\n

I should have known you cannot brew granola<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Now, I have been known to enjoy some darker, heavier beers (Guinness Draught, London Porter, and some others), but this King Lager is like drinking wheat soup.<\/p>\n

Sorry, guys, I have not slipped into the home brewing hell, so when the texture varies between sips, I have to wonder about the sanitary conditions of the brewery. Do the organic<\/font> and natural<\/font> designation cut-off point come before or after Louis Pasteur? Is that prime Australian hopps, or could it be wallaby<\/a> tail<\/i>?<\/p>\n

On the bright side, my bones are stonger and I have a nice, shiny coat on my head (what remains).<\/p>\n

Regardless, I am sticking to Guinness Draught. There are no snakes in Ireland!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
