Turns out the local store is about to be remodeled - it'll close tomorrow for four months - so they haven't been restocking and they were out of soju!!!

So when I drove my sister to OT today, we left a little early and she gave me directions to another liquor store, where I was happy to find apple mango soju and bought two bottles. :-D I'm going to be meeting some friends for dinner, but once I get back here, it's DRINK-AND-WRITE time, yay!!!

I have no idea what mango soju is but it sounds worth googling - I just got some mango habanero hummus last night & *chef's kiss* - it's fabulous!

Oooh, mango habanero hummus sounds delish! (I've been doing a lot of spicy mango chutney lately.)

Soju is a Korean drink - kinda like sake, I guess - but it SNEAKS UP ON YOU. One minute you're perfectly coherent and the next minute it takes you three tries to type the word soju! At least, that's been my experience.

You see it a lot in K-dramas, where people always seem to be drinking it very quickly out of small glasses, like a shot. Possibly to avoid the taste, which I find ... iffy. You can buy it in flavors, though. Mango soju is my favorite. :-)

I do plan to do this, this weekend... But I can't tonight because 1) I'm exhausted & slept only about 4 hours last night, &
B. I have to drive up to R---'s place (up by Waukegan/Illinois Beach State Park) with the dog - we're spending the weekend until Monday, thanks to the holiday! \o/ We also both have plenty of legal gummies, yay!
