  1. I'm sorry but I would agree with kate. Peanut butter and diet beer don't go toghether. This late at night I would go with "real" beer and persian pistachio.

  5. Hmmm... deep thoughts from Megan Ward lol.

    Pretzels and peanut butter? Not sure about that. Diet beer IS a step up from icky diet coke, I'll give ya that ;) And because it's cute, here's a Skidaddle quote from just now *ahem*:

    "for reals first she goes and says she loves the sound of music and now the pretzel love. makes me happy :biggrin2:"

    Isn't she cuuuuuute? You'll meet her in Chicago, at the event you're not planning yet haha. OK well I should go hide now.

    Thanks [=

  6. Hahahaha!! Hunger pains, and yet you're watching Top Chef? Silly Megan... that's like going grocery shopping when you haven't eaten all day.

    *Although, a diet beer does't sound too bad right now. Got an extra one for me?*

    Thanks for the blog!! ;)

  14. Umm, diet beer with pretzels and peanut butter. I like the pretzels with the peanut butter, but you are on you own with the diet beer. I like my beer full flavored or I have none at all. If this combination of food and drink makes you happy, I say go for it. We all need our times to indulge.

  15. LOL not sure about the pretzels & PB... definitelly get the lite beer:)

  16. Hot damm I'm not anonymous anymore!

  17. The only part that disappoints me is the diet beer. *shakes head*

    Next time, call me and I'll come over and make you a peppermintini instead.

  18. :coming out of lurkdom just for this:

    what does pretzels with pb and a beer chaser say about you? It says that you are just about the coolest person EVER! (Not that we didn't know that already)

    Rock it out.

    ReplyDelete
  19. See, I told you you were normal in an abnormal kind of way! LOL Well, this actually sounds like a decent snack. Pretzels and PB sound great to me. I would make one little change--ditch the diet beer (yuck) and replace it with a good Pinot Noir. Now Kate would certainly approve of that!

    Umm, my favorite snack--apple slices with peanut butter. It tastes a lot better than it sounds and much healthier!

    love, peace, happiness and peanut butter,

    gail

  20. Like Bailey, I'm a minor so I don't do the beer thanggg. But I loveee peanut butter and pretzels too, just not together. :P

    Thanks for blogging! =)

  21. well i see nothing wrong with that :-)

    what i'm wondering is what does this blog say about your fans?...you wrote a couple of sentences about pretzels, pb and beer and you already have over 20 comments? lol

    ReplyDelete
  22. The mix of salty and sweet - with the pretzels and PB - I can dig it. Have to agree with Gail that a good red wine would be my preference rather than a lite beer. I have to admit, I've had weirder late night snacks - LOL. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, Kate would definitely drink a diet beer - just not in public or in front of anyone!

  24. Is there really such a thing as Diet Beer???

    ReplyDelete
  25. Diet beer, is that a west coast version of light beer?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I really have to find a way to get the leinenkugel sunset wheat and summer shandy to you. Seriously, out of this world beer. Btw, the Cubs are in LA for 4 days. Since we can't be there, I think you should throw on your wrigleyville tshirt, and your oh so fab Cub hat and go push them back into first place. Seriously, go light a fire under their bad pitching asses please???? I need them in postseason for my livelihood! :P Love your face!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Sounds like my idea of a snack....ENJOY! Kate needs to loosen up!

    Mayonnaise and Beer
    by Anonymous

    When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours
    in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the beer.

    A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in
    front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very
    large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

    He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it
    was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them
    into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the
    open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if
    the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a
    box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up
    everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students
    responded with an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two
    cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into
    the
    jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students
    laughed.

    "Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to
    recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the
    important things--your family, your children, your health, your
    friends, your favorite passions--things that if everything else was
    lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles
    are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.
    The sand is everything else--the small stuff. If you put the sand into
    the jar
    first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf
    balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on
    the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are
    important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your
    happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups.
    Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be
    time to clean the house, and fix the disposal. "Take care of the golf
    balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The
    rest is just sand."

    One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer
    represented.

    The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you
    that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a
    couple of beers."
