Ah, coffee ale. Perfect for a quarantine weekend. “It smells like dark chocolate and tastes like a strong coffee with a Bourbon finish a bit earthy all around.”
Consider getting @mondaynight’s new seltzer, Narwater! Narwater Seltzer comes in 3 flavors (Blueberry Raspberry, Mango Guava, Grapefruit Pineapple) & I personally enjoy all of them! A few things you should know about the drinks:
Made with all real fruit (no artificial colors or flavors)
Brewed with natural fermentation instead of like other brands which use artificial flavors with diluted high-proof ethanol
Watermelon + alcohol= all the fun you need.
1. Cut a circle hole at the top of the watermelon.
2. Put your favorite alcohol bottle in the hole. I’m using @titosvodka
3. Let it sit for a few hours so watermelon can absorb the liquor.
4. Cut watermelon & serve

For the fourth year in a row, the chain came in #1 for customer service, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index, an annual report.

What came first? The chicken… or the egg? In Georgia, the answer to that question is S. Truett Cathy.
Chick-Fil-A is part and parcel made of red Georgia clay. This is indisputable ever since Cathy opened a small eatery called the Dwarf Grille opened right under Atlanta’s nose in tiny Hapeville, Georgia back in 1946.
Since then millions have become loyal fans of the restaurant known for the bad-spelling cows singing how to “Eat More Chiken.”
Chick-Fil-A’s claim to fame is its chicken biscuit. The biscuit has 440 calories with the calorie breakdown being 48 grams of carbs, 16g of protein and 20g of fat, according to the eatery.
