Indie Soda Pop Floats

Delicious Stress Relief from The Matt Brewing Company, Pugsley Brewing LLC, and Ritchey's ice cream

My brain in fried! Tonight is a night for treating myself. Don't get me wrong. Life is good. But I'm working on so many fulfilling, high-intensity projects that I am starting to feel stretched a bit thin.

Fortunately our local drug store, Kopp Drug, had a really cute "end-of-the isle" temptation display featuring just what the doctor ordered. That's right, a whole display of indie, old-school soda pops-or just "pop" as we call it in western Pa. I understand that the label migrates to "soda" as you head toward Philly. Are you a "pop" or a "soda"?

Tonight's relaxation recipe includes hamburgers (grilled up inside on the Foreman grill) followed by some ice cream floats. It is rebellion in its best form. Sure, winter reared its ugly head today, sending us an April blizzard after 70 degree days in March, but we are going to kick back and dream of relaxing summer days.

Indie Soda Pop Float Recipe:
Open bottle of something with a cool label. Pour it on vanilla ice cream.
