Photography: Red Stripe

© Stephen Bess 2006

I just have a taste for some Red Stripe. This is a picture of the now recycled bottle that I had last Saturday. My wife calls her my Jamaican girlfriend. I love this beer, but I only drink it once in a while. Don't worry, If I do have one there will be a designated driver. I don't drink and drive....anymore (can't lie).
Have a great weekend! Peace~

I will be drinking lots of beers this weekend myself! It is my B-day on Sunday,(34 yikes!) and tonight people are taking me out and Sat night we are going out and the on Sun, my girls and I are having lunch! So, enjoy your Red Stripe. I have never tried it, maybe I will this weekend! I am usually too cheap to drink beer from bottles at the bar, so I drink tap beer. (I am a poor working house owning college student remember) But I will have to splurge one time this weekend and try a red stripe. Ok, have a safe one, and do not worry, I am not driving any more when drinking either. I think we all did that when we were young and STUPID! Some good things come with age! :) Be safe and have fun, and have a great weekend!

I'm not a abeer drinker. I mean no disrepect, but surely red strip was strained through someones smelly sock! It has the most amazing after taste...Now I'm being sarcastic!

When he lived in the UK, my bro-in-law used to drink a beer with green stripes (I think) which his daughter called Green Lolly.

Enjoy the weekend

Yeah, it is expensive in most places. It's only about $6 here though. Maybe there are more people that drink it here.

I hope that your beloved will have another sooner than we know. :)

The bar we went to did not have Red Stripe, so I was unable to try it. :( But I will some time soon! And will let you know what I think when I do! I hope you had a great time this weekend. My Birthday weekend was great! Talk to you soon!

DC Legend: Chicken Wings & Mumbo Sauce

-
Image
Mumbo Jumbo Noun. 1. Confusing or incomprehensible language or activity. 2. An obscure ritual or incantation. [Mandingo origin.] American Heritage Dictionary Of the English Language Mumbo sauce? Anyone who has ever traveled east of the Anacostia River has heard the term, Mumbo Sauce. What do I mean by east of the river? I mean if you have ventured anywhere near Benning Road, Wheeler Road, Southern Avenue, or Minnesota Avenue in North/Southeast Washington, D.C. There is no way that you can go into any Korean owned and operated “Kerry-Out” [ trans. Carry-Out food ] in DC and not hear someone order french fries with chicken wings and Mumbo Sauce. Impossible! Some like it on the chicken and others (like me) like it on the side. I’ve always thought of Mumbo Sauce as a DC thang, but where did it really come from?  Actually, Mumbo Sauce originated on Chicago's Southside in the early 1950s by a man named Argia B. Collins, who was known for his famous ribs and barbeque Mumbo Sauce. N...

Remembering Linda Pollin

Image
I grew up in the  Linda Pollin Memorial Housing Projects.   First of all, I did not know that it was built in memory of Abe Pollin's daughter.  In fact, I didn't even know the name, Abe Pollin.  I was a child, so I thought it was just a name given to the apartments.  At the time, my siblings and I had no idea that we lived in a housing project.  Well, the complex had a swimming pool, and the grounds were well kept. Also, it didn't resemble the well known surrounding projects like  Valley Green , Condon Terrace , or Wahler Place . The manager was Ms. Royster who was sort of a no-nonsense type of landlord based on the conversations I heard from grownups.  However, she seemed nice; plus, we all played with and knew her son, John. Well, although Mr. Pollin passed away back in 2009, I would still like to thank him for building the "LP" as we used to call it.  When I became old enough to learn that it was built by Mr. Pollin to honor his ...

Frederick Douglass and his Winning Smile

-
Image
Who knew that Frederick Douglass had a great smile?  Whenever I think of Slaves or Freedman, I think of individuals who have been mistreated and worn.  However, this is not true.  Read this description of Frederick Douglass around the time of this death: His appearance on the platform was imposing. His height was over 6 feet and his weight was fully 200 pounds. His complexion was swarthy rather than black. His head was covered with a great shock of white hair. A large head, low forehead, high cheekbones, and large mouth, with gleaming white teeth , were some of the noticeable characteristics of his appearance. As a speaker he was characterized by his earnestness. He made but few gestures and used simple language. My thoughts and imagination: As I look at his face, I imagine him in a happy moment smiling or laughing.  Looking at his eyes, I can imagine that is eyes are barely visible depending on how wide his smile.  I imagine him at his most joyful time...
