You can get anything besides mountains here. Dense forest, big cities, large bodies of water, all of the seasons. That I can drive for 8 hours and still be in the state of Michigan.

Unfortunately, the hatred of winter, nearly undriveable roads are pushing me more and more to look for jobs outside of the region. If I don't start my own business by 2020 it's hard to envision myself here unless my role at work expands into such a position that it's incredibly hard to leave monetarily and creatively.

 

I have an event to work from 7-9 so hopefully y'all leave me the best questions ever for when I return.

 

Do you like Ellie Goulding? favorite song?

What’s your favorite nationally sold beer?

What should I make for dinner?

 

Never listened to Ellie Goulding

Two Hearted. I can get it fresh in Michigan so many places and I have a lot of memories drinking it in my early 20s

Make pesto with your choice of noodles and some chicken breast.

 

She’s the best.

Honestly never heard of it.

Chicken stuffed pesto ended up happening so I like how close this was

 

That meal sounds amazing. Two Hearted is made by Bells Brewing in Michigan and distributed throughout most of the country.

 

This thread is making me wish I knew more about beer. I always felt inadequate living in pdx and not knowing anything about it. Prospective dates would wanna go out for a beer and it's like i guess, if u pick something out for me to try! But it never happened.

 

Yeah I used to be like "Oh I know enough about beer to get by" and then I joined Chorus.fm and now I feel like a clueless idiot all the time

 

For me its an ideal world of a date was like “pick out a beer for me” that’s when I’m excited. I enjoy doing that.

Yeah, I wish the beer community was more open to new drinks but — at least around Michigan — it seems to just be a lot of people saying “drink this don’t drink that” and that’s not productive. I want to get people into beer, not scare them away by talking about flavor notes they’re won’t pick up on and being super nerdy. I used to be a bit obnoxious about it but learned to really not be that type of beer snob anymore just offering unsolicited opinions about things.

 

@bigmike are you Mike Judge?

 

I wish!

 

I don't drink a lot or often in general so i always ask people what i should try and nobody will recommend me anything! My friend was even a bartender, and nothing

 

Buncha bums!

 

favorite fruit/vegetable

 

Tie between grapes, melons and strawberries. Nothing better than grilled asparagus in the summertime.

 

@bigmike what's the last good deed you did for a total stranger?

 

I gave a homeless man a $20 after chatting for like 15 minutes while I was waiting for my friend.

 

You’ve had that avatar for like a decade now, yeah?

 

@bigmike favorite ice cream flavor?

 

@bigmike what are your thoughts on reality tv? Include thoughts on cooking, dating, survivor, and talent shows

 

@bigmike what is your favorite cooking show?

thanks for the inspiration @Mary V

 

:) I love cooking shows

 

@bigmike what's something the general populous tends to care about that you can't seem to wrap your head around?

Additionally, what is something popular on Chorus that is popular that you don't give a fuck about?

 

Since 2005

Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream

Hate almost all reality television but love certain cooking shows. If I watch any reality tv, which I basically don't because I don't have cable (or even a tv at the moment), it'd be cooking-bases. Or, travel based, I suppose. I enjoy Anthony Bourdain a lot.

Early chopped was good. Iron Chef, both the original and the reboot are enjoyable. If Diners, Drive-In's and Dives counts, I very much enjoy that. But the GOAT for me is Good Eats.

Movies. People around me these days seem way more into movies than at any point in my life and I'm just giving a blank stare. Also, celebrities, I just don't care about anything that has to do with celebrities (except big news like Kevin Spacey being a complete scumbag).

As far as this site, it'd probably be movies followed closely by Fall Out Boy. I think FOB's reboot after their hiatus has been largely garbage and people keep heaping praise on it and it baffles me. Also have a hard time separating Pete Wentz from the bands music.

 

Also, that wasn't meant to shame anyone who likes movies. Pretty much all of my hobbies are things people aren't interested in. Not many people really care what a proper carbonation level for a particular belgian beer should be.
