Domestic Sunday: Return to the Womb Edition

Back when I was choosing which university to go to, my two criteria were 1. it couldn't be on the West Coast, but 2. had to be far enough away that my Mom couldn't just casually drop in to see me. Don't worry I do love that woman (as my last minute purchase of grocery store flowers this Mother's Day proves!) but I really needed my space back then. And yet,  I now actually enjoy the occasional weekend in Guelph. Maybe it's my Mom's garden:

Or maybe... THESE MUST BE MY HEINEKEN YEARS. Actually, these years I drink far better beer than Heineken:

This Sunday was brought to you by one of the last bottles from the Niagara College trip. My Dad and I went there a few weeks ago, so I could write a blog post about their brewmaster program for the Toronto Beer Week. To learn more about the program, you can read my finished post here. Or you can drink the results, as I did this afternoon. As expected for a strong ale, this one was very malty, to the point where it tasted of chocolate. Don't expect anything too bitter, and watch out for that 7.5% ABV. It will hit you eventually.
