Rogue Brewery Review


With the break in my half marathon training, I'm adding some other topics. I've recently returned from Portland Oregon and I'll be writing about the places I've visited. I'd also like to do some posts on my little neighborhood in Oklahoma City. Finally, I'm hoping to start brewing beer for fun and I think that could be some good blog material. 


Rogue is our favorite brewery in Oregon. They grow their own hops and pumpkins for their beers. They have grown a lot over the years and now have distilleries, pubs, farm and the brewery. We were planning to spend the night at their bed and beer but we changed our mind at the last second. They were understanding and didn't charge us any fees for canceling. 


We are Rogue nation citizens and got our proper ID cards when we went to lunch. Then we bought beer, vodka, and tshirts. Lunch was delicious! 

When you sit down at a table the server immediately brings you a sample of beer. It's such a nice touch and I've not seen another brewery do that. We had to go back for a second lunch before leaving Oregon. I'll finish off with those photos. I would highly recommend you try the following beers: Voodoo Maple Bacon, Moms Hefeweizen, Beard Beer and the Honey Kolsch. 




These are all my opinions and my only compensation was not being charged the full room rate when we canceled the morning of our planned stay.

Thankful Thursday

Dear friends,
Welcome to thankful Thursday. This post means a lot to me because I need to be mindful of the blessings I have. This is your reminder to. :)

Today, I'm thankful for little things that easily get forgotten: a good cup of tea, a happy purring and meowing cat, free lunch at work (although I still need to be cautious with the portions I serve myself.).

On a separate note for weight loss Wednesday, I gained 2 pounds. I know why. Those catered lunches were more than I could handle. Today is another catered lunch and I have my plan. I know it's Olive Garden and I will not eat a bread stick, I will choose one pasta dish and put just about a cup on my plate, most of my plate will be the salad. This should be good for me.

Ok, back to thankful Thursday. It's your turn, what are you thankful for? Please stay tuned for high five for Friday.

Musings

I am not one of those people who eats perfectly healthy 100 % of the time. I am sure there are people who do crazy stuff like that. There is a possibility that I eat healthy 75% of the time.  The diet is thrown out the window Friday night and Saturday night most every weekend.  Then there's the baby cheats.

Baby cheats? you ask.

For example today at lunch I ordered a side salad from Chick-Fil-A. There was a little bit of cheese and I ate it even though I said I was swearing off dairy for now. Earlier in the day, there was a bag of fun size peanut MMs. I ate that too. In the scheme of a day, I would not say the diet was ruined because that was baby cheats.  Baby cheats happen nearly every day. That's where the 75% comes in.

I pondered this while taking Sally Hansen's Salon Effects off my nails. The packaging said regular nail polish but that took an obscene amount of time to remove. I would definitely use it again but next time pay full price and get a color I actually like.

These are my random thoughts for today and nothing was sponsored. Have a good night and day.

Wonderful Wednesday


Today’s rating is Positive.


Not only is the week half over, nachos for lunch tomorrow, and friends coming over on Friday but my counselor said that I am making healthy choices. I am a success and it feels good. I know that I will find a good job and be successful there too. I have successfully lost weight and maintained it with the help of www.myfitnesspal.com. Its important to stop and celebrate the successes in life and that’s what I’m doing today.
