Today I decided to eat out, mainly because I had to go buy some Christmas things and it got late. Also because I had forgotten to take the meat out of the fridge, and it would be 'stressful' to get home and start cooking.

So I decided to go eat at a place I had been told about, not just for the taste, but also because the dishes are affordable: Arepera Cochinitos. By its name, you'll know that it's a place where the specialty is pork. There were not only arepas with pork but also cachapas, and we asked if they had beers, and of course they did, so we ordered two for the sweltering heat these days, which we drank quickly.

Since it is a family lunch spot, the menu was full of natural juices and there was only one type of beer, light, and although it is not one of my favorites, I ordered it because I was dying from the heat and thirsty. With those needs, I wasn't picky: I just wanted something cold. And indeed: the beers were cold. I had three: one before the meal, one with the meal, and another at the end of lunch.

On other occasions I have said that this beer, light, is from the Polar company, has the lowest alcohol content in the Venezuelan beer market, 4% by volume, and with low carbohydrate content: that is, it is very light.

In the end, forgetting to take down the meat turned into a perfect outing: delicious food, refreshing beers, and good company. I can't think of a better way to spend the day.
