On Tuesday night Susan had dinner with her old friend Jude at The Social, a hip restaurant in Milwaukee's trendy 3rd ward. (Although she had been to this restaurant, Susan had not been to this new location.) Susan had a tasty tilapia dish that had an excellent corn salsa with an unidentifiable spice that made the dish, along with oddball Social trademarks meant to connote comfort like hushpuppy potatoes (which were left uneaten.) Jude had a gourmet pizza which was also very good, along with a Fatty Boombalatty, a creamy amber beer brewed in Black River Falls Wisconsin.
Of course, there was much talk about the name of the beer, and when I got home I found it out it refers to, not surprisingly, a large person, or somewhat more surprisingly, a rather oversized spliff. Jude brought a six pack home the next night for me to try out. We sat out on the front porch like we used to after work when we lived down the block from each other. The Fatty tasted like an amber beer mixed with a belgian creamy beer like a Blue Moon. Very good and very unusual at the same time. Needless to say, it was also great to visit with Jude who graciously let me stay with her for the duration of my trip to Milwaukee.
