From the Kitchen and Bar – corned beef, veggies and wine (and a quickie bit of art)

Time for a food and drink post.  (if you are new, be aware that if you follow me, you'll get more than food and drink.  You'll also get my unvarnished thoughts about politics and religion). This week we corned a beef. My spouse and I were craving a Rueben sandwich and since we hadn’t done … Continue reading From the Kitchen and Bar – corned beef, veggies and wine (and a quickie bit of art)

What the Boss Likes and from the Bar – alcohol in crafts and some beers

I’ve been looking for a new craft to try. I’m not much of an artistic type; generating artsy things isn’t my best ability, though I can copy pretty well. I first came upon pour painting when you make paintings from various techniques of pouring, tilting and smearing paint. That’s pretty neat but It takes some … Continue reading What the Boss Likes and from the Bar – alcohol in crafts and some beers
