    Kebabs for dinner last night, very tasty. My Darling B marinated pork in some tangy sauce, then cubed it and skewered it on bamboo slivers with bits of onion, peppers, little tomatoes the size of grapes, and … and … peppers. Yeah. Two kinds of peppers. I had the task of cooking the kebabs on… Read.

    The bus pulled into the Dutch Mills parking lot right on time at 9:45, and Sean was the first one off. It was still so hot that we sat in the car to wait for him, getting out only to welcome him with a big hug before scampering back into the car. His first natural… Read.

    I took My Darling B to dinner at Alchemy because it’s Thursday, which means it’s Guy Night and I’m responsible for serving dinner, but it’s way too hot to cook on the grill, the only way I can cook an edible dinner, so I took her to Alchemy, same as I always do. They were… Read.

    We slept like babies last night, probably because we’re not used to moving heavy appliances. For months, we’ve been talking about getting a small, second-hand refrigerator to keep at the bottom of the stairs in the basement for beer, soda pop, fresh fruit and various other sundries that fill up the big fridge in the… Read.

    I’ve just eaten my last solid meal until tomorrow afternoon, a single egg, scrambled, plain. I’m already feeling hungry. Cleaning up afterwards, I had to wonder for the millionth time: What the hell is it about eggs that makes them stickier than rubber cement? Just like every time before this, I had to do a… Read.

    Bottling Day! Allow me to introduce you to My Darling Brew, a beer formulated especially for My Darling B, who likes a beer that is not too bitter and not too heavy. I brewed this batch with extra light malt extract and the mildest bittering hops I could get my hands on, then added a… Read.

    Not sure there was anything going on today worth talking about. Work was the same as always. Biked to work, so that was good. Biked home, too. That was a little buggy. And the Banzo cart was parked in the lot at the East Side Club, so we brought home a couple orders of falafels… Read.

    The spam robots have found my weakness. Every day, they post gibberish comments to my blog posts (spam robots are my most loyal readers) that are strings of random words, or sometimes they look like phrases and sentences pulled from internet search results. And then, yesterday, I got six or seven comments to different posts,… Read.

    Burgers. Brew. Life is good. I mean, really, what more could a guy want on a fine summer’s day? Well, the pretty girl makes it just that much better, of course. So here we have the epitome of a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon. I’ve told you before what Burgers and Brew is all about, so… Read.

    It’s brewing day! And to make it extra-special, I’m going to live blog it, or as much of it as I can without interrupting the process, because when it comes down a choice between to satisfying you, my faithful reader (you are still out there, aren’t you?), or successfully brewing a batch of beer, you’re… Read.
