Discussion of the Day - sorry I'm late today! :)
I took a day off from work today, which means I kinda took a day off from The Online (TM by Cheeky's grandma 
)...
Today's discussion card reads: "What is your favorite drink combo meal?" (yeah, kinda lame today)
Mine -- Red wine and (puffy) Cheetos. Srsly. Best meal ever. Try it, esp after a bad day at work...
And... go!

Re: Discussion of the Day - sorry I'm late today! :)
During the last election DH was travelling with Obama and since I was alone for 2 weeks, I pretty much only ate popcorn and cranberry juice w vodka.
However, I am a HUGE fan of mexican food, so i'll never turn down a taco (or fajita, or burrito, etc) with a margarita.
Also, when it's freaking freezing in the winter, there is nothing more comforting than making homemade pasta for fettuccine alfredo, followed up with a bottle or two of shiraz. Mmmmmmm.
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
LOL - love that you are quoting my gram!
i also love a really good, ice cold beer (preferably something like sam summerale ) and hot, crispy fries.
I'm gonna be super unoriginal - and go with red wine and dark chocolate! yum, yum!
My current favorite (non-alcoholic) drink is a fizzy vitamin packet dissolved in water mixed with chia seeds. lol. that's where I got my SN.
I love eating a good steak and baked potato with an awesome hoppy beer. Actually, I pretty much like eating anything with an awesome hoppy beer.
My husband would be appalled, but there is something pretty satisfying about a huge-ass budweiser and a hot dog at the ballpark. Even if it is crappy beer.
Cold pizza and Diet Coke - although honestly I don't really drink much soda anymore).
Mac and cheese (homemade of course) and red wine, preferably a zin. Seghesio maybe.
Sometimes, a bowl of Lucky Charms (the milk combo is implied).

I couldn't decide on just one -
A savignon blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand (we like Oyster Bay) with the crab cakes at Silverados/Carlyle/Mike's American Grill. That meal must start with a Makers Mark Manhattan with the yummy bread.
The wurstplatte entree at Cafe Berlin with whatever awesome German beer they have on tap.
I (also) especially love hoppy beer - the hoppier the better.
this and Dr. Pepper is the only beverage to get at Taco Bell (granted i haven't eaten TB in a long time but they were out of DP once and the food tasted strange to me).
Oh man I have more than one. From this weekend:
Cherry Limade (3 olives cherry vodka, fresh lime juice, grenadine and sprite) and a burger made on the grill with all the fixings!
A nice beer and a burger, yum!

OH SNAP. That would be a very, very close second to steak and wine.
Planning Bio
Our go-to celebration dinner is baked potatoes, filet mignon, crabcakes, spinach and a super-awesome IPA of some sort (Pliny the Elder if we have it; my go-to is Bell's Two-Hearted).
I need to think of something to celebrate, and quickly!
I'm on a big Mojito kick lately, so I'll say a Mojito and just about anything.... anything at all.
Or nothing, just a bunch of Mojitos...
For an alcoholic drink, I'd say Mexican food with a Margarita (or even a Margarita-flavored Mike's).
For non-alcoholic, sometimes you can't beat a PB&J with a cold glass of milk.
I agree -- with both of you....dammit. the card didn't say I could have two, or three, or more -- fave meals!
"What is a week-end?"
KiahJ - I am being gifted a mess o' mint from a work colleague. I plan to smash it in the pestle thing that Zerf brought me from Puerto Rico (love Zerf!!!!) and try several mojito recipes, this weekend.
