Little things to be thankful for...

In addition to getting to spend time with my way cool in-laws AND eating lots of New Mexico chile AND learning to shell/ eat pinon this Thanksgiving, one additional perk was getting to enjoy me some Fat Tire. See, we can't get Fat Tire in Michigan, and it is hands down one of my favorite beers. And it was on sale! BONUS!

Another happy happening was reading the Frontier Airlines' inflight rag, Wild Blue Yonder, while we were stuck in jet traffic at the Denver airport. (Thanksgiving weekend + snow= de-icing a shitload of planes) During my two hour (!) visit to the tarmac, I glanced through the mag during commercials (yes, commericals) and found this nice little article on pairing beers with traditional Thanksgiving food. But the best part of that little two hour vacation: Frontier offers DirecTV on their flights for $5.99 per flight. However, while you're on the ground, you get a 'free preview'. Two hours from pushback until take off meant that I got to watch the entire first half of the Colts game for free! Sweet!
