I'm thinking fish tacos, but we just had blackened mahi sandies two nights ago and I usually like rum with those.
Such a dilemma...

Last week I went to a beer tasting event here in Twin Falls, ID. None of the beers were ones I would call rare or anything, but being from the Midwest there were some from the west I hadn't had before. Today I went back and picked up some individual bottles some of which I had the chance to try and some I hadn't. Twin Falls is kind of isolated so my choices are only OK. I got:
St Augustine from Selkirk Abbey (out of Idaho) a rye saison
Great white from lost coast
KCCO black lager
Frenet Aged Porter from Leopold Bros./Odell
Hopside down from Widmer
Trout hop from Grand Teton
Hop notion from crooked fence
The rye saison and the Frenet porter I remember being quite good actually.

I feel bad as it appears I won't get to margaritas today. Been messing around with rum and we're having a decidedly non-mexi dinner.
Had a couple rounds of BBC's which was a drink we were introduced to in St. Thomas.
Rum, Banana Liq., Bailey's, a banana and coconut water blended frozen.
Probably gonna switch to white wine or rum and coke with our tuna with cilantro lime butter dinner.
Fire going and the Badger game on...
It's a good day.

Had an O'Hara's Stout today with lunch, and dunno what I'll have at dinner. TK's doesn't exactly have a great beer selection, so might roll with the old and have a VT or two. Have some New Belgium Snapshot waiting for later. It's pretty good.

Picked up a couple bombers of Lift Bridge's Silhouette tonight; one to have sooner than later, and the other to have later than sooner. Tried the barrel-aged version at the tap room a month or so ago, and it was tasty. Quite tasty.

I broke down and bought a second bottle of the Orkney Dark Island Reserve ($40). The one I had is from a 3641-bottle batch, bottled in Nov '12, and the one I bought today is from a 3831-bottle batch, bottled in Apr '12.
I'm definitely saving one for NYE next year, don't know about the other one. Of course, I'll have the oldest one first.
Yes, I've had this beer before and it's worth every penny.
Edit: This also means there are now only three bottles of it at the store near me, for anyone who wishes to splurge.

Just about through a bottle of Gnarly Head Cabernet.
Doing a little work and watching the Hawks game.
Quite nice.
Other than the score in the game...

Had full pint pours of Pliny the Younger last night at my favorite hipster dive bar in San Diego. Most places pour 8 or 10oz glasses and sell them for 15 bucks or so (though most of those places also donate all profits to local charities, so I can't really bemoan them), these were 10 bucks for a full pint. So worth it at that price point.

I'd like to give mad props to Bulleit Rye. Tasty stuff, both on its own, and in a Sazerac.

Couple of new ones (for me) tonight.
Old Port Rum
This is a rum that is distilled in India which was intriguing to me. This is along the lines of a spiced rum. Was good.
Tullamore Dew
Irish blended whiskey. Very smooth and somewhat sweet along the lines of Pendleton. Enjoying this and yes bbdl, I'm mixing it with coke like a candyass.

If its blended, you may as well mix it with coke. No use drinking it straight.

I keep anything that is blended hidden away in the cupboard. The single malts, and other high end liquors grace my bartop. Only corked liquors allowed on my bartop, as well.
