They call me Rummy

“Why is the Rum gone.” -Jack Sparrow

Yeah, I feel like that sometimes often. Don't judge.

Before reading on... make sure this plays in the background Ah Gallon ah rum

Good thing RumFest is a mere day away.  Rum cocktails, rum on the rocks, rum neat, rum-from-the-bottle, rum shots (ok, perhaps not shots), but an adundance of rum in my glass whilst at a great locale on the waterfront?  I say run, run, run to drink rum.  

Rum what!?:  A magical beverage that turns one into a pirate 

Rum when!? May 19th

Rum where!?   Žluté lázně (translates to Yellow Spa.  Literally).

Yellow Spa

Rum how?! Buy your tickets here

Rum why?!  Because it is rum.  No further explanation necessary.

I am quite the fan of Mount Gay Extra Old, and recently I have discovered indulged over-indulged in a Hawaiian rum called Ko Hana (well, sugarcane was introduced to Hawaii in 1841... and they do make a mean Mai Tai) so it makes sense there would be a rum worth indulging over-indulging in.

And then there is Don Papa.  I like anything called Don Papa.  I just want to say Don Papa over and over and over again. Don Papa Don Papa Don Papa small batch rum from the Philippines.  "Now available in New York!"   Good to know cause I just schlepped my ass to Asia for this stuff.

Let me know if you drink either at RumFest....

"If you have no Honey in your Pot, have some in your Mouth." - Ben Franklin

A wise man once said, "If you have no Honey in your Pot, have some in your Mouth." 

Well, ok then...I shall do just as you advise, Mr. Franklin.  And my honey of choice is this one by KH Bees.  Simply put, it is DELICIOUS.  All of their honey products are, but this one made me dance a jig when I tasted it.

Did you know that honey is healthy?  Sweet, delicious AND good for me?  Bring it on, KH Bees, bring it on.

What are you waiting for?  Place your orders here and do as the wise man once said.

Pivo, YES!

I don't live in Mishawaka, IN, but if I did, it would always be Pivo Time!

Why of why can't the Evil Czech be in my hometown.   I found an article from when they first opened in the South Bend Tribune.  Proud of you George, and now branch out cause we need you in Hawaii.  This Czech gal needs some solid Czech brew flowing through her.

You Go, Girl!

I know I am a tad late with this, but what can I say... I was celebrating.  My heart is with both the US and CZ competitors, and I am thrilled for Ledecká . She killed it on that slope and her humble response to her win makes her, in my opinion, extremely likable.  So I say, "You Go, Girl!" Bring home some more gold (we won't frown at silver or bronze either, just sayin').
