Crisis and a Good Stiff Drink

I was watching the news today, which usually causes me to freak the 'f' out. The crisis in Syria, scandals with greedy-bastard CEOs, Danes murdering Pilot Whales, etc...but what really has me concerned is the announcement regarding the recent shortage of Velveeta. The Broncos (and some other team) are going to the Super Bowl in a short week and the country may run out of this processed "cheese." It's not like you can melt real cheese and add Rotel! That sh*t clumps for Pete's sake! Anyway, I got hungry and subsequently distracted from my fear. It's freezing outside and so I started rummaging through my Zombie-contingency stash of canned food. You don't have one? Zombies will happen so best be prepared! I have a machete too so don't even think you can come for my food!

I digress...I had mayo, eggs and bread in addition to the cans, ergo, egg salad it was. No use breaking into the stash. You never know when the outbreak will occur. Now, wine works as a pairing but what's better? Rum and diet coke. My mixologist friends are screaming right now, "use rose bitters and mollify some strawberries with that sh*t!" I love the rebirth of cool cocktails into our lives but not at breakfast. Simple and fast was what I needed. Being that I just started to represent Busted Barrel from New Jersey I felt I should go that route. The problem is I had no diet coke but I did have one ginger beer, which aids in digestion and is amazeballs with rum. A plan was coming together and my day was off to a good start. I was listening to the Outfield's "Your Love" and dancing in the kitchen when I realized something. I've planned for Zombies but not the Velveeta shortage. Now what? I started calling my local and closest stores and guess what? They all had Velveeta. I smell marketing wizadry at work, nevertheless, I will go out tomorrow and get some. I just hope it's not too late. 

Well, I know you're all pulling for me so stay tuned. Next post will either be "Crisis Averted" or "Pairing Chips and Nothing for the Super Bowl." Oh yeah, and I hope the escalating tensions in Syria are resolved too.
