brew day
Live-Blogging Brew Day! The Queen has commanded that the next beer I brew be a vanilla porter, so that’s what’s on the agenda today. I looked up recipes for vanilla porters on teh intarwebs because I assumed there must be something special about them, but there’s not. They’re all just recipes for porters with a… Read.

abby someone
Spaghetti for guy night, otherwise known as, “I don’t know,” the answer I gave B when she asked what I was going to make for dinner. I’d given it about ten minutes of thought all day long, so when I got in the car at the end of the day I figured I’d just hope… Read.

conditioned
How often has this happened to you: You get out of the shower, dry yourself off, then stand in front of the mirror for a solid minute before you realize that the reason your hair looks so funny is that you forgot to rinse the conditioner out of it. B says it’s never happened to… Read.

morning walk #1
The phone rang at four o’clock this morning. I’ve never seen B run so fast to answer the phone as she did when she sprang out of bed and hustled into the living room. She doesn’t move that fast to answer the phone when she’s sitting right next to it. It turned out to be… Read.

Up All Night
Your devoted drivelmeister was out way past his bed time last night, boys and girls, and he brings back reports of a rich chocolate treat that is the talk of the town. A brownie, I believe. Or it may have been a goulash. I know a rich chocolate goulash sounds a bit unconventional, so maybe… Read.

Batch #6 bottled!
Batch #6 is bottled! I wasn’t sure I’d have enough time to bottle tonight, but I knew I’d have enough time to wash three dozen bottles, so I filled up the sink with warm, soapy water, got the brush down from its hook and got wet. There’s no way to wash that many bottles without… Read.

gashed
The end of my thumb is bloody gash after Bonkers slashed it open the other night, so I have to type very gingerly right now. Just FYI, in case I suddenly run out of the room to apply a bandage or something. The old boy is crazy about a cat treat called Pounce. He’s already… Read.
