The perfect table

A lot of my afternoons in Mexico looked like this - cold beer (usually Dos Equis or Pacifico), a plate of limes, some peanuts, and a little pile of salt. I oftened wondered about the reason for the salt. With tequila it made sense: dip a lime, shove it in your mouth, bite down and have a shot. But with beer? I experimented with dipping peanuts, limes, and just my fingers before having a swig of ice-cold cerveza.

The verdict: yeah, it all works. I just won't mention it to my doc when he takes my blood pressure.

Oh, and that is my travelling partner's Sol - I never liked it as much as the Dos Equis - but it went good with the salt.
