Mole in the Mountains

A gastronomic adventure in Xalapa, Mexico.

I thought of Peroni is because it is an inoffensive beer. For myself, I’d choose other things, but do you think it may be a safer way to go than the Heineken/Spaten/Hofbrau type of beer?

We returned from Costa Rica a couple of hours and we have a new worst beer: Rock Lite Lemon.I got caught in a bait and switch. We were too tired to drive down the mountain side to get beer at the supermarket, so I popped into a...

Louisville, but nearby and WORTH THE DRIVE): Rich O’s Public House/The New Albanian Brewing Company in New Albany, IN. If they like pizza and beer, I would give it serious consideration.

dining nonetheless...highly recommend their smoked salmon appetizer, succulent seared scallops and bluefin tuna entrees, and don’t go anywhere without a classic chocolate souffle to finish...drive back on the Jersey side...

the PALCB involved except to deal with paperwork and a small tax as proposed. I think the petition plan is pretty sound. But it’ll get stomped on by unions and pols claiming that home delivery will be anarchy leading to...

When we were up north 10 miles around the lake with back roads and the closest was IGA, beer and a few canned things was it. But anywhere you drove up there took a while. Now in FL, 1 block is about all I drive, maybe 30 minutes...

Religion or politics would probably be safer topics than the best pizza in New England...

careful in this neighborhood, lunch is a safer time.)

, casual dining (breakfast/brunch, lunch and dinner) options near our hotel (Mission Bay/Pacific Beach). Not fancy and we like Thai, Mexican, Indian, a good burger place, Italian, pizza, good beers, etc. A great place for...

I have tried all of the Indian beers at Punjabi (Thunderbold, Taj Mahal etc). and they have all been old and skunky. not sure about that refrigeration unit in the front. Or maybe that stuff is just old and it’s safer to get...

. The beer selection is great—with many micro- and midibrews by the pint (including my favorite, Abita Turbo Dog) at $4.50-$5.00. The meal for two started modestly with a small app of fried green tomatoes ($4). Perfectly...
