More beer!
Found four more beer pics in my camera roll from April and May.
3. Drink 27 kinds of beer | Progress: 21/27.
Goal 3 Update: April & May
Tons of progress on my 27 beers list (my favorite goal). This is also one of the goals that I constantly forget to take pictures of, so while I've proably already accomplished 27 different beers, I've only managed to document 17.
A visit to the Brooklyn Brewery helped me cross off nine beers in one day! I had one of everything except the Blast. The Weisse and the Ama Bionda were delicious, and the Oishi was my least favorite.
The office happy hour is always a good source for random beers that I wouldn't otherwise try, like this giant can of Sapporo and this Flying Dog IPA. I don't really go for IPAs but this Belgian style wasn't too bad.

A Memorial Day tradition: Labatt! We spend every Memorial Day weekend in my Mom's hometown of Lewiston, NY with all of our extendended family. It's right across the river from Canada, near Niagara Falls, so my family tends to drink a lot of Canadian beers.
On Sunday nights, you can usually find us having pizza at Dozzino. Great food and BYOB! Colin snagged this liter beer from the specialty beer store in Jersey City, and it was DELICIOUS!
3. Drink 27 kinds of beer | Progress: 17/27. Brooklyn Beer x9, Sapporo, Raging Bitch, Indian River Shoal Draft, Labatt, White Gold
April 2 - 8
Crossed a lot of veggies off my list this week!
Also snacked on a few bananas.
And finished my first book of goal 2! I enjoyed The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta because it was very character based, though it did take a hard left turn in the last thirty pages or so. 4 stars.
1. Read 27 books | Progress: 1/27.
Scenes from the weekend
Between Sean & Laura's housewarming party, going out with Phil, and then meeting up with Phil (again) & Alison, I manged to knock another four beers off of goal 3.
Not to mention knocking off a few fruits with the fruit salad at my future step-nephew-in-law's 2nd birthday party.
5. Eat 27 fruits | Progress: 7/27. Honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, blueberries, blackberries.
Goal 3
I think this might be one of the easiest goals to complete. Kevin suggested 27 bottles of wine, but to be honest, I'm not much of a wine drinker: I'm a beer girl.
Rainbow lunch.
My office has a salad bar every Friday for lunch. I have a feeling this will go a long way to goal 4.
Also, I find it more fun to eat a salad crudités style. Bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and jicama! Love love love jicama.

Excerpts from Birthday Dinner
(Antipasto plate with grilled artichokes)
3. Drink 27 beers. | Progress: 2/27. Corona & Singha.
4. Eat 27 vegetables | Progress: 5/27. Artichokes.
Goal 5: Fruit
Same rules as Goal 4. Varieties don't count, unless it's a super-weird and/or rare variety. Braeburn apples vs. golden delicious? They're both apples. But an English cucumber vs. an African cucumber? That's a whole different ballgame.
4. Eat 27 fruits | Progress: 1/27. Watermelon.
Goal 4: Veggies
Some ground rules for this goal: for the vegetable to count, I need to eat at least half a serving size, OR, if it's a really gross vegetable, I have to have at least two bites (I'm looking at you, brussel sprouts). I think the first 15 or so veggies will add up quite quickly, but I feel I'll need to get creative in order to cross this goal off my list.
4. Eat 27 vegetables | Progress: 4/27. Carrots, beets, arugula, spinach.
