This is going to be a bit of a cheat review – simply because as you can see above, I broke the craft beer drinker’s cardinal rule of pouring into a glass. Frankly, when it is still 85 degrees at 8.30pm, I reserve the right every now and then to use a coozi; no glass. So there. Brent and I [...]

This was a dinner I threw together the other night, and promised to post the recipe…sorry for the slowness (Sara!). We picked up some organic white Quinoa at Costco a couple of weeks ago (I know – Costco has cool, healthy ingredients? Who knew?) and I’ve been trying to think of things to do with it that don’t involve me [...]

I’m very interested in growing my own edibles, thought you’d like a peek into the (slow) progress my garden is making! Cuban oregano – still researching exactly what I should do with this…It’s so pretty though! It’s kind of succulent-esque. I read somewhere it can be used as a substitute for sage, and tastes like a blend of thyme and [...]

  After brewing some interesting beers over the past months, Brent and I both decided it was time to brew some drinkable, sessionable and wide-appeal beers. I decided to do with an Oskar Blues "Dales Pale Ale” clone and Brent did a Dogfish Head “60 Minute IPA” clone. Of course, because a) We are not Brian Lutz or Sam Calagione [...]

But, you know what I can do about it? I can drink beer; it makes it hurt less. As you can see in this picture, I’m less than impressed by the heat, and am soooooo [...]

I’ve definitely been lacking on the potable side lately, and seeing those that almost drained the keg on the 4th July and Daily Beer Review’s Rob seemed to really like my most recent attempt, I thought I would post the recipe for posterity! Read Rob’s review here, and then follow his blog while you’re there! This was a recipe where [...]

I made these delicious looking morsels for dinner last night They were a great, relatively light dinner; I usually am not a fan of the turkey burger but after having a delectable one at Relish Burger Bar a couple of weeks ago, I decided to revisit them. I stepped outside of my normal burger-spice-realm with some Moroccan style spices and [...]

I love barbecue, and I love screwing with traditional recipes. This combines both! I think this recipe started a couple of 4th of Julys ago when I was looking for some “all American” food to whip up for an Independence Day celebration; I took a recipe from Bon Appétit and messed with it until I had a recipe based on [...]
