Oops, I didn't give this a Title

As Vincent Vega said, 'It's the little differences'. I mean, they got the same stuff over here as anywhere, it's just--here its a little different. Example you say? At work there is a cafeteria on the first floor (which actually has impressed me, at least as far as quality of food for the money; we should really do a food review on it seeing as it is open to the public as a general eatery and I wanted this to be a food blog anyway) where I recently ordered a sub sandwich. It took four slices of pepper jack--in addition to the swiss we had already requested--before we achieved our goal of obtaining peperoncinis on said sandwich. You see, it seems nobody here would ask for "peperoncinis": they ask for "banana peppers" (INTERNET would argue that technically these are not the same thing, but we are unclear whether INTERNET has ever resided in Alabama). And to get pepper jack, we say "pepper cheese". Or "peppercheeze". Like "peperocinis". Go ahead, say them both out loud, right now. We won't judge.

But point taken, I am sure. In other news, not only Guiness but also Boddingtons (!) has been found on draft not but a mere 100 yards from our humble abode. I am speaking, of course, of the Mellow Mushroom, which is, in terms of decor, about as far as you could take the whole 'psychedelic mushroom' theme and still reasonably expect people to eat there. Pizza was excellent, though, and great beer selection. Another food review needed (with pictures; Courtney is the Official Photographer).

Finally, we should mention, as many people associate blues guitar with (roughly) this region of the country, we did come across an exciting prospect, who call themselves Classical Blues Cabaret. I heard these guys were going to be around this Friday, and looked them up, and was quite blown away by their videos on the site. http://philweaverguitar.com/cbc.html. Check out the "Trail of Tears" clip at the bottom of the page. He fiddles around until about 03:13 and then goes off. Rockin. Hopefully we will get a chance to check them out and report back with excellent reviews (and by "we" I mean "me" and yes we know we have been alternating grammatical persons, its my entry, I do what I want. and it is artistic).
