What the Boss Likes – kitties, beer and pie (and therapy too)

During this quarantine stuff, my husband and the cats and I are doing well. Us being both introverts, anxiety-prone, and somewhat misanthropic, we are pretty happy with this. I had a beer kit left to make so that got done. It is the Koa Coconut porter from Northern Brewer, where we get a lot of … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – kitties, beer and pie (and therapy too) →

What the Boss Likes – Getting back in the blogging saddle

Here I am again, trying to catch up on some blogging.  I’m going to try to post much more often though we’ll see how that works out. Let’s see, what’s been going on at the Club:   The kittens have grown quite a bit.  They don’t often meow, but they trill at us and each … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Getting back in the blogging saddle →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation– a festive blend of opinions on food, politics, religion….

Here’s a post about random things. Opinions about food, religion, politics etc are freely mixed. I’ve a new follower “God’s Geological and Math Signs”. Oh my, this person’s website is utterly hilarious. For a religion that is supposedly followed by faith and no evidence needed (as told to me repeatedly by various Christians), this individual … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation– a festive blend of opinions on food, politics, religion…. →

From the Bar: a couple of new things to drink, vindaloo, and a movie

This weekend we made a chicken vindaloo.    This was from the Saveur magazine recipe and it just wasn’t quite what I had grown used to in most indian restaurants.  What the recipe produced was a chicken and potato curry stew but not much of the vinegar tang that I like in vindaloo.  So I ended … Continue reading From the Bar: a couple of new things to drink, vindaloo, and a movie →

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 →

What the Boss Likes (kinda) and From the Bar – the great kitchen remodel continues and some beers

We are a week into the Great Kitchen Remodel of 2017. The kitchen (and the small bathroom just off it) has been gutted to the studs. One of the guys doing the work (and they are really talented) said plaintively  “Why did you use so MANY nails mr. guy from the early 20th century!) This … Continue reading What the Boss Likes (kinda) and From the Bar – the great kitchen remodel continues and some beers →

From the Bar and the Back Room: nostalgia on my part – Blennd and a new beer

Like most regions, humans come up with foods that are beloved locally but pretty much unknown outside of a day’s travel. I grew up in western PA which has this stuff called Reymer’s Blennd. This is a orange and lemon fruit based syrup that you mix with water to your taste. It’s been around for … Continue reading From the Bar and the Back Room: nostalgia on my part – Blennd and a new beer →
