Greeting Ladies, Gentlemen, and fellow free thinkers.

I’m sure most of you are aware classic tradition of pairing wines with different types dinner Entrees. However if your like me you don’t get to many practical opportunities try your hand at this art form. I present to you today another form of drink pairing that is so simple and easy a child could do it. This is the art of Soda Pop pairing.

Cold drink anyone?

Soda Pop pairing, like its classy cousin, centers around flavour matching. “What taste best with what , should I have a 7up or a Root beer with my cheese burger?

The general rule that I follow for any of my soda pairings is, “Dark meat, dark soda, light meat light soda.”

Dark meats are your Hambergers, Polish hot dogs/bratwurst, and pizza. Pizza is lumped in with the dark meats because it tends to have sausages and pepperoni on it and cheese tends to have a musky full body flavour when melted. The exception to pizza are Hawaiian and  speciality pizzas which, For these types of foods colas (Pepsi, Coke, etc.)Dr. Peper, and Root Beers. All these drinks have a dark full body flavour that seems to go well with the aforementioned  foods.

Light meats include such things as fried chicken, ball park franks/hot dogs, thin sliced deli meats (turkey, ham), and some fried fish like cod and halibut.  For these foods Sprite, 7up, Sierra Mist, and Mountain Dew are the drinks of choice. These drinks have a citrus taste which adds a nice zest to the light  flavour of those foods.

Who says you can’t make your mundane meal look fancy?

“A tip for deserts: cream sodas, Root beer, and fruity drinks like grape and orange work out well most of the time.”

That should hold'er

I learned this week that sitting down and planing the week out is all well and good.  However no amount of planning will do any good when unexpected situations arrive. No alarm will help get a person where they need to be if they are not in the position to hear the alarm.

Two things to help with this.  The first is having the grace to understand that some times things just don’t go as planned, and that some times things need to slide for a little bit.  The second is having the self discipline to not shrug off things just because the scheduled time is past. Just because something is a little late, doesn’t make it okay to let it be very late.
