Let the dog in!

[my Public Service Announcement]

I recently read about someone drinking a “black velvet,” which is half Guinness and half champagne. Naturally, I had to try this. We just happened to have both on hand, too. In case you are wondering, I read it in a book, not online, and it was a memoir, not fiction, although these days those lines blur…..to put it nicely, Mr. Frey.

Let me just save you the time, friends — Don’t Try This at Home!

In a word: blech.

And I am not anti-Guinness. Why, not that long ago I learned to make black and tan’s and had the photo to prove it. And those are yummmmmy.

And purdy, too, huh?

I have also been known to enjoy what a friend called a snake bite — half Guinness and half cider.

But, black velvet….keep it as a fabric in your life. Or maybe a song. Or maybe artwork. (stop me before I hurt myself!)

But not a drink.

And if you cannot resist making one, tell me what you think! Blech, right?
