You’re a creative guy. Very resourceful too. Good combo. 😊
Great minds on the gin and tonic. Don’t do light beer though! Hahaha
I like a full bodied beer. Preferably a darker beer although I like a lighter wheat beer in the summer months.
but yea , ive used some pretty questionable ingredients before and came out with phenomenal wine . cantaloupe , cranberry , pineapple , to name a few .
Favorite cocktail? Mine is gin and tonic.
Favorite tea? I like them all. Variety is the spice of life.
Favorite snack? Tough one. Same applies. Anything good! Dark chocolate has to be at the top of the list. A really good dip with veggies or crackers. Stuffed mushrooms.
Actually my daughters and I sometimes go to a restaurant and just get appetizers and dessert!
Did you ever make a beer where you thought that you messed up and it ended up being great? You know, like Bob Ross used to call his unintentional mishaps in his paintings that he ended up being pleased with. He referred to them as ‘happy accidents.’ It can happen.
Of course not all accidents are happy! Hahaha, I remember accidentally grabbing a can of bathroom foaming cleaner and spraying my hair instead of my hairspray. I was just about to leave for work.
I had to jump back into the shower, get dressed again, fix my hair and makeup again. Of course I was late for work. I couldn’t reach my boss to tell him I was going to be late, before cell phone days, switchboard operator kept putting me on hold. I drove to work. The boss was waiting at my desk for me and asked me why I was late? I was embarrassed but told him the truth and expected him to be mad. Instead he cracked up laughing. He said that is so crazy it has to be true. You couldn’t make up something like that. I started laughing too. He was a great boss. Tough but fair.
molasses doesnt come real highly recommended in beer recipes but i bought two cases of molasses marked down to 50 cents a bottle so it isnt surprising that some of it ' fell ' into the batch of beer .
probably fall into the next batch too .. he he
You’re my kind of guy. No nonsense! Real ingredients.
I do think labels are very much a part of marketing. It’s presenting an image. The flip side though is that I appreciate them as a work of art. Many wine and beer labels are really pretty.
Bottom line, it’s how the beverage tastes! That’s more important than packaging. Yeah, packaging isn’t cheap. Same with unnecessary ingredients. I like a specific ingredient if it adds a unique flavor.
I love tea but could never give up my beloved coffee. Do you drink coffee too or just tea?
I like all kinds of tea. But I am a purist with coffee and tea. No sugar!
ive made wine and moonshine for decades but beermakers always made their hobby sound so complicated -- until -- one day i looked online for ' simple beermaking ' . changed everything . it was written in my language .
" heat the malt up , pour it in the bucket , and STHU " ..
no iris moss , eye of newt , exotic yeast , etc . most beer recipes are a joke . you could end up at 2 bucks per bottle just by being silly .
if i ever felt the need to label my various batches it wouldnt be expensive . id just buy 1000 labels at a time -- all marked " swill " .
Every time I see sourdough bread I think of California. They have the best! Just like our French bread is good because of our origin. Louisiana history includes the French and Spanish. The French brought their yummy bread and of course wine. The Germans brought the beer!
The battle of New Orleans was an interesting battle. It didn’t even last an hour. Our battle had the French and Spanish against English. Hahaha, my ancestors are all of those. Have French, Spanish and English blood, plus German, Irish and Scottish. Supposedly, I look like my paternal grandmother that I never met. She died before I was born but daddy said I have her blue eyes and her auburn hair. Now my hair is mostly silver.
In my opinion, no one has bagels like New York. Well, New York has so many good things. So much variety!
It must be hard to be on a gluten free diet without bread. George Burns lived to be 100 eating a bowl of soup with a piece of bread everyday for lunch.
Let’s not forget that he also smoked cigars everyday too. Not expensive cigars either. Not advocating smoking but I am just saying how life truly can be a crap shoot!
I heard a scientist being interviewed once that said certainly not everyone who smokes will die of cancer. Some most definitely will. Others won’t. It’s Russian roulette.

I love the flavor of maple syrup in sweet potatoes. Adds flavor and a touch of sweetness but not overly sweet like the ‘candied sweet potato’ recipes that have so much brown sugar that you don’t even taste the sweet potatoes that are naturally sweet. The trick is to bake them long enough and that brings out their natural sweetness.
So are beer makers as snobby as wine connoisseurs? Interesting...
I like a fine wine and a good beer but not a snob about it.
Earlybird, I am an "old hippie" style mom, used to make my daughters baby food a lot. She loved pureed sweet potatoes. Have you tried them for Mom? add a bit of maple syrup.. sort of like mashed potatoes. I myself could not stomach pureed fish either.. what the heck!
id did what id hoped -- the molasses resolved the ' sour ' that ive been battling . i have bitter sweet instead . great .
up till now the fermentation restart ( in the bottles ) that creates carbonation has eaten up every speck of sugar , resulting in decent beers but a little sour .
im trying to find my own way without resorting to reading a lot . beer makers ( snobs ) online are just such a drag , taking something simple and trying to get scientific with it -- annoying as hell .
i like this beer . has a great ' dark style ' aftertaste .
Other areas call meal times by a different name.
"What are the 3 meals a day called?
Technically, the word “supper” refers to a light evening meal, and “dinner” is a more formal, hearty meal. In colonial days, farmers were too busy to eat three meals a day, so they only had breakfast and dinner. The wealthy had three meals a day: breakfast, dinner, and supper.
What meal are you having today?
I missed breakfast....
i dont want to finance chinese armaments .
I wanted everything daddy had as a child. I was a ‘daddy’s girl.’ Mom told me he was eating steak. I hated the texture of the liver and didn’t forgive her for a long time! It does smell good cooking with the onions though.
I actually cook all kinds of soups. So yummy!
Sweet potato fries, cheddar and bacon mashed potatoes, salad /w balsamic dressing.
On the go food, it was good but budget is b r o k e n ....
Can't wait or think straight if away from home and hunger strikes.
They had smoked ribs, potato salad, sourdough garlic/herb bread, ranch style beans, and caramel pecan cheesecake.
I had my usual.
I think it’s all about presentation. When I asked, “What’s for dinner?” I would hear, “Pancakes!” Hey, it worked for me.
We had eggs and toast. Easy dinner tonight!
