To go with the meat pies and cheesy goo from another post, here is our recipe for mead, the honey wine that is all through history and fantasy. Here's your warning: MAKE THIS EXACTLY BEFORE YOU TRY TO SCREW AROUND WITH IT. We've had far too many people rave about our mead, then whine when … Continue reading From the Back Room – Mead
From the Bar – Las Parcelas Carmenere
No picture of the bottle since last night the garbage had to go out and I forgot to rescue the bottle. This is one more in a long line of reds, since that's what I prefer and I really am getting into these South American ones. This Las Parcelas Carmenere is new to the PLCB … Continue reading From the Bar – Las Parcelas Carmenere
What the Boss Likes – the cats, part 2
Finally got two more pictures of our cats. Muffin, the cranky one: and Mordred, my scrawny little thing:
From the Bar – Ta Henket, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Having a thing for cats pretty much guarantees at some point you'll become fascinated with Ancient Egypt. And thus started my interest in history and religious myths. When I read in the Smithsonian Magazine that some brewers were making ancient alcoholic beverages, I set out to find some of them. Our local Wegmans suprised me … Continue reading From the Bar – Ta Henket, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Episode 3 Still more religious pandering
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives is yet again wasting time and taxpayer dollars with more religious nonsense. Oh we don’t need job bills, or a transportation plan or anything that would actually helpPennsylvania. We just need more pandering to the narrow minds of a few. Here’s the HR 609 Recognizing May 3, 2012, as the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Episode 3 Still more religious pandering
What the Boss Likes – John Carter
Finally got to see John Carter last night. I LOVE it. Screw the "critics", it's an excellent entertaining movie that you can enjoy and not worry about. A modern viewer may not see it as original but it was the first of its kind and everyone has borrowed from it. And face it, no story is original anymore. It depends on execution, … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – John Carter
From the Back Room : Bavarian Hefeweizen
A couple of weeks ago we bottled the hefeweizen that we made from the Northern Brewer kit. At that point the signature banana aroma was pretty strong. After a couple weeks in the bottle, it's even stronger, but much more blended with the other aromas in the beer. If you get this kit, get it with the Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephen yeast. … Continue reading From the Back Room : Bavarian Hefeweizen
What the Boss Likes – Demotivational poster
To whomever created this, THANK YOU! For all those of us who feel like feral children raised by idiots
What the Boss Likes – the cats part 1
In the interest of keeping the tubes full of cats, here are 2 of mine and my husbands. The others will be coming, it's rather hard to photograph black cats and one cranky one. We also have a ferret, Loki, which is even *harder* to photograph. We have 5 total: Grendel, Luna, Mystra (all siblings), Mordred and Muffin. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – the cats part 1
From the Kitchen – Meat Pies
Once upon a time I was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It's a loosely (often very loosely) historical recreation group that had its genesis in the 1960s. I was a member on and off for 20+ years. Finally the politics were too much and I ended it. I still love historical stuff … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Meat Pies
