Cheeseburgers!

I wish I taken pictures of last night’s dinner; these burgers were bee-yoo-ti-full!! It was my first batch with the new brand of organic, grass-fed beef we found at Winn-Dixie, Prairie Organic. The meat was fantastically flavourful, and only required a light seasoning of salt and fresh ground black pepper; that’s it! I was amazed and delighted! With a coupon [...]

Because apparently, women need their beer dumbed down.

MolsonCoors is set to launch (again) a clear beer in August; apparently to woo women drinkers to imbibe their, ahem, delicious products. Or more likely to try and capture some of the market share that the big three brewing corps lost in 2009… They have launched a business unit called “Bittersweet Partnership” which in charge of the push to land [...]

No Reservations: techniques

Cooking is not hard. I’ve said it before; many times in fact, and yet no-one ever believes me. Can you follow instructions? Can you put an Ikea table together? Of course you can, or you wouldn’t be upright – therefore, you can cook! I have staple, go-to recipes in my repertoire that I know how to make with my eyes [...]

The bigwigs over at MillerCoors are clearly trying to get in on the boom in craft beer sales; according to the Brewers Association, a sales dollar increase of 10.3% in 2009. Only being marketed in Colorado (for now at least), using almost all local Colorado ingredients and using the [...]

But their songs get stuck in my head ALL THE TIME; just the merest mention of one of ther lyrics sends me into a tailspin of robotic “si se puede”s [...]

This is genius. “Slap-myself-in-the-forehead-wish-i-had-thought-of-it” type genius! 33 Beers is a fill-in-the-blanks type beer journal for people like me who lose track of why they loved or loathed something, after the 10th tasting glass Brilliant, and not to mention environmentally friendly; *swoon*!! 33 Beers is made with 100% recycled papers sourced in the Pacific Northwest. Interior pages are 100% post-consumer recycled [...]

Jesus vs. Elijah….it’s ON!

Those of you who know me, know my culture clash story; Protestant-ly raised Aussie girl meets Jewish-ly raised boy…hilarity and marriage ensue. My first experience of Brent’s family was at a holiday dinner…about 2 months into our relationship! It was Rosh Hashanah 2005 and I had the pleasure of meeting the majority of the family, minus his parents, over a [...]
