MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 

 

YES, I HAVE DONE WHAT THEY SAID COULDN'T BE DONE. NO, I DID NOT FIND A CURE FOR CANCER, BRING PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST, NOR DID I GET A SELFIE WITH BIGFOOT. ANY MERE MORTAL CAN DO THESE.  AFTER DECADES OF RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THE PERFECT ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE TO GO WITH THE HOSTESS TWINKIE. YES THE TWINKIE HAS BEEN SHUNNED BY THE OTHER SNACK FOODS FOR OVER 50 YEARS BECAUSE OF ITS LACK OF POTABILITY WITH ALCOHOL. YOU KNOW THAT A TWINKIE AND BEER IS JUST NOT RIGHT AND MAY BE ILLEGAL IN SEVERAL STATES. WINE WHETHER WHITE, RED OR ANY OTHER COLOR, MAKES THE TWINKIE TASTE CHEAP. RUM, WHISKEY, TEQUILIA, VODKA, ETC ALL OVERWHELM OUR BELOVED CREAM FILLED SPONGE CAKE.

SO WHAT, YOU ASK, IS THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE THAT COMPLEMENTS THE TWINKIE'S PURITY? IT IS SOJU, THE NATIONAL BEVERAGE OF SOUTH KOREA. BUT NOT JUST ANY SOJU. STAY AWAY FROM THE FRUITY MIXTURES. THE CHARM OR JINRO SOJU HAVE SUCH A SUBTLE TASTE THAT THEY JUST LIFT THE TWINKIE UP AND SAY HERE IS YOUR TWINKIE!

NOW WE ALL HAVE HEARD STORIES ABOUT THE TWINKIE'S UNHEARLDED SHELF LIFE. SOME SAY INFINITY, BUT THAT CAN NEVER BE PROVEN. I HAVE HEARD THAT IN THE TWINKIE MUSEUM THERE IS ONE THAT WAS IN THE BOAT WHEN WASHINGTON CROSSED THE DELAWARE RIVER. OKAY, I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING. IF I WERE A BIG BLOGGER FROM NEW YORK CITY, MY PICTURE WOULD BE ON THE COVER OF BON APPETIT AND CUISINE MAGAZINES, PLUS 5,000 SHARES OF HOSTESS STOCK IN MY POTFOLIO. BUT SINCE I'M JUST A SMALL BLOGGER IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE THIS IS NOT MY FATE. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE WILL READ MY BLOG AND TAKE CREDIT FOR MY RESEARCH AND GET THE FAME AND RICHES THAT GO WITH IT. BUT REMEMBER YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. SO GRAB YOURSELF A TWINKIE AND A GLASS OF SOJU AND ENJOY THE FINER SIDE OF LIFE.

STAY SAFE AND SANE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME ......THE BEGGAR'S APPRENTICE
