I'm looking forward to breakfast because I'm looking forward to breakfast wine. Breakfast wine is just wine you have for breakfast. It's probably more of a sign that there's a problem, but I'm choosing to ignore that giant blinking neon sign. Mmmm. Breakfast wine.
I made sure to chill a bottle of white for breakfast. It seems to me that white makes a better breakfast wine. It goes better with breakfast items like eggs and waffles and cheerios. Also, someone once told me white wine was was thinking wine. It makes sense to kick off the day with a glass or three of thinking wine.
Another justification for breakfast wine is that it is a damn good deal. A bottle of Trader Joe's Chardonnay is only $3. Dollar per liter, that is just a damn fine deal. I pay more for coffee and orange juice combined. Breakfast wine is also the economical choice!

Things Robert Burns Gave Us
Robert Burns gave us two of my favorite things--the song Auld Lang Syne and the Bobby Burns cocktail. The first thing we was more directly responsible for, since he actually wrote it. The cocktail was just named after him. But still.
You know Auld Lang Syne, right? We sing it every year on New Year's Eve. It's a song of remembrance; that's why we sing it on New Year's Eve. It's also commonly sung at funerals. Not any funeral I've ever been to, but apparently it's done. So please, if you can remember, sing Auld Lang Syne at my funeral.
Also, remember to pour one out for me. If you have a choice, you should pour out a Bobby Burns. It's a scotch based cocktail and it's my favorite. I don't drink it all that often actually. Many times when I go into a bar and ask for one they look at me crooked. But it's real and real bars know how to make it. And it's delicious.
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? NO! We should remember them all the time! We'll take a cup-o-kindness yet, for auld lang syne. And in that cup-o-kindness, we should have scotch based cocktails. Huzzah!
And just so you're prepared:
