Book Excerpt for the Day

   The lack of funds meant that it was a large glass of tap water to wash down the donner kebab.  I must say, the kebab meat isn’t quite as palatable with H2O.  You can feel the fat solidifying on your tongue and on the roof of your mouth as you drink.  I’m no chemist but my guess is that the alcohol in the beer helps dissolve the saturated fat in the mouth and makes for a much more pleasant dining experience.
