Thanks! The beans are black eyed peas, supposed to bring luck in the coming year… Not a big fan of baked beans, myself… too much sugar. We use the leftover ham from Christmas to use in the beans. Works out great.
The IPA is a local brewery (Redmond, WA). It’s available in all the Kroger’s around here… not sure about outside the PNW.
And yea… those ribs did not last long…
The first Internet thing I remember actually doing is my friend helping me sign up for my first email account, on Hotmail… In high school computer lab, so it must have been 96 or 97.
I do remember reading about the Internet and trying to find a way to connect from home on our Packard Bell… But we were remote… It would have been some extreme long distance bills…
