Then a fresh red pepper pasta with a pesto cream sauce. Main was quail with spring vegetables - radish, morels, fiddleheads, peas, pea shoots.
Free coloring sheet, yay! That was a much better use of my time than doomscrolling
Anybody in Toronto want some free (fake) rocks?
Cheese course included very fresh sheep cheese topped with balsam fir jelly. Assorted pastries and apple & wild blueberry cobbler for dessert.

My primary motivation for drinking is because I like the taste, and especially like exploring new tastes. It's often annoying to me that drinks contain alcohol, because I have to limit my consumption. So I appreciate and consume no/lo drinks because they allow me to still have that element. 2/3
Gotta be the "Finland doesn't exist" post.
This an interesting study, but to me it's missing one big factor - flavor! It identified four reasons for drinking alcohol (and for who) and mapped those to no/lo drinks:
-for the “buzz” (enhancement)
-to fit in (conformity)
-to facilitate social occasions (social)
-as a coping strategy
1/3
I'm not uninfluenced by the social and conformity aspects - if everyone else is drinking, then I'm likely to as well, but I'm fortunately not usually in environments where there's any stigma associated with not, and for people who are, I love that no/lo is a tool for avoiding that stigma. 3/3
