My ancestors were Belgian. On St. Patrick’s Day, when everyone else wore green, my mother would have us kids wear blue. Apparently “blue” is for Belgium. At least that is what she told us!

Tremendous shots, and mm-mm, Belgian beer. Especially the Trappist variety. You’ve made my mouth water, and it’s still only breakfast-time. But then I seem to remember the last time I was in Belgium, some locals did drink beer in the morning.
