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) →

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 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 →

From the Kitchen and from the bar – new beers, new food and a tattoo!

Well, we never made it to the March for Science.   I did watch it on CSPAN, and they had pretty good coverage of it.   Some of the signs were priceless. I did like the one that read something like “we knew it was going to rain because of science”. I find it terribly weird that … Continue reading From the Kitchen and from the bar – new beers, new food and a tattoo! →

From the Bar – wine and beers from our day trip in York and Lancaster Counties, PA

We had a bit of a staycation last weekend. South-central PA has a bunch of wineries, breweries and good restaurants so we picked a direction, York and east to Lancaster, and headed out.  Sorry, no photos.  I'm not much of a photographer anyhow. 🙂 Just a note, these places did charge for sampling as most … Continue reading From the Bar – wine and beers from our day trip in York and Lancaster Counties, PA →

From the Bar and Kitchen – grilled chicken, shrimp, beer, and random kibitzing

Hello! Finally getting a chance to catch up on posts about food, alcohol and other things. I do get wrapped up in commenting on other blogs and sadly neglect my own. Current blog commenting is with a Catholic, Joe, which has been interesting, especially when I have asked him if he would obey a Christian … Continue reading From the Bar and Kitchen – grilled chicken, shrimp, beer, and random kibitzing →

From the Back Room: Finally, back to brewing – Northern Brewer’s Assaazin

After a long hiatus in brewing thanks to having a crazy retail work schedule, we are back brewing again. This batch is Northern Brewer’s kit, Assaazin Belgian Pale Ale. It was a limited run kit with Saaz hops from a Michigan hop yard. And honestly, it may have been wasted on me because I can’t … Continue reading From the Back Room: Finally, back to brewing – Northern Brewer’s Assaazin →
