We had a delicious lunch at Sharp\u2019s Roast House and Microbrewery that we agreed could include some adult beverages. (Microsoft word wants me to change \u201cadult beverages\u201d to \u201calcohol,\u201d but I\u2019m not doing it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rube experience #1: The waiter brought us a drink menu in the form of a QR code (Wikipedia explains that QR stands for \u201cQuick Response\u201d). We were instructed to enable our camera phones, hold the phones level with the code, and \u201cclick the link on your phone.\u201d I didn\u2019t see a link, because I don\u2019t have the app. The waiter kindly brought us a paper menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rube experience #2: For my adult beverage, I considered a tried-and-true choice of a margarita, but settled on the \u201cSkinny Bitch,\u201d a mix of vodka, some sweet stuff, and a battery-powered imitation ice cube that changed colors. I bought the drink for its name, and it was tasty, but the best part was the light show. At the end of the meal I asked the waiter if I was \u201callowed\u201d to keep the ice cube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rightasrainonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cocktail-1-1-614x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100\" width=\"226\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rightasrainonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cocktail-1-1-614x1024.jpg 614w, https:\/\/rightasrainonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cocktail-1-1-180x300.jpg 180w, https:\/\/rightasrainonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cocktail-1-1-768x1280.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rightasrainonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cocktail-1-1-922x1536.jpg 922w, https:\/\/rightasrainonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cocktail-1-1-rotated.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 100vw, 226px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nice, huh?
