Pumpkin Beer Power Shower

Remember that one time I was all, I love Whole Foods, it’s so awesome, I’m going to buy really expensive pumpkin beer because it’s pumpkin and beer and it’s from Whole Foods and that means it’s healthy and awesome? Well I finally tried one last night (what’s wrong with me? I had beer in my fridge for like 2 weeks without touching it? – I blame law school? IDK). Anyway, here’s what I have to say about it: I think this beer failed in the pumpkin department. I’m a little disappointed. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as pumpkin-y delicious as I had hoped.

But what this beer lacked in pumpkin amazingness, I made up for in classiness. Remember that one time when I failed at power showering before dinner with my boss? (I didn’t say I make good life decisions). Well I re-attempted the power shower last night post-class, before hanging with Dustin. And since he chose our activity of the night: chips & salsa (ok I chose that part) and a beer (he chose that part) at the Yard (a bar just up the street from his place), I figured a little pre-funk was totally necessary. Especially after that #viadoom commute home from school.

So I did it. I pre-funked hanging out with Dustin. I prefunked with a power-shower and a less-than-pumpkin-y beer. And it was just alright.

Whole Foods Love Affair

I don’t know if I’ve ever told you this before, but I love Whole Foods. I love walking in and smelling that Whole Foods smell. I love the way the produce is arranged. I love their bakery. I love the wine and cheese sections right next to each other. I love that you can buy so many different kinds of kombucha there. I love all the gluten free food. And I love that they sell the most delicious wine for only $2.99.

I also love these Fish-y Friendz I found while I was there today:

I know most of the time Whole Foods is crazy expensive, but there is something so comforting about it. Also, I’ve fallen victim to the idea that everything that comes from Whole Foods has to be healthy, right? Right. So that totally makes it worth the ridiculous price, right? Right.

Today I went there for salad (case in point: salad is totes healthy). Just salad. And maybe a few bottles of that $3 wine. And some brussel sprouts (only like 8). But that was it. Right, like that was ever going to happen. I came out with $50 worth of things. Ohhh Whole Foods, you get me every time.

I got some delicious salad (with candied walnuts and dried cranberries and bleu cheese) for lunch:

And also, I got this 4-pack of beer. Which I totally justified buying due to the fact that I’ve been wanting to try it for about 3 weeks now. AND I also justified buying it because, well, it’s Pumpkin Beer!

Pumpkin Beer is so so delicious. And also Dogfish Head makes delicious beer just in general (it better be considering this 4-pack was like $14). So it must be a winning combo, right? I’m really excited to try it out. Maybe it’ll calm my raging week-long headache (or are you not supposed to drink when you have concussion related headaches? I guess we’ll see).

Also side note: I just saw that Dogfish Head recently brewed a small batch in celebration of Pearl Jam’s 20th Anniversary (in case you didn’t already know, I love Pearl Jam). Definitely want to try that one too. Add it to the list.

So yes, now you know, I want to shout it from the rooftops, I LOVE WHOLE FOODS!

But I suppose my blog will suffice. I’ll shout it from my blog instead: I LOVE WHOLE FOODS!

OK, I’ll stop shouting at you through the internet. Besides, it’s probably time to go drink my newly acquired immune booster Yogi Tea (thanks Whole Foods) out of my Pendleton mug (thanks Professor Eberhard) and get ready for my Intellectual Property class.
