I spent Sunday afternoon stirring barley malt and hops into a kettle of boiling water in the garage. Tell me that’s not living well. I’m shooting for a darker brew this time. I don’t know why. I just like dark beers, that’s all. So I started by stuffing a couple bags with a mix of… Read.

sidecar
Stepping out from the patio after dinner at Mickey’s Tavern last night, we spotted this amazing tandem bike with attached sidecar and had to stop to take a good, long look at it. It appeared to be largely home made, and the side car was equipped with an electric motor to give an added assist… Read.

After Monsieur Lazhar, My Darling B and I stopped in at The Icon to relax between shows with a couple glasses of wine and maybe a few tapas for snacks. Okay, this has been bugging me all night: What’s the correct plural for tapas, anybody? Or is that already a plural? Wait, I’ll check the… Read.

hey joe
CAFFEINE PANIC! My Darling B drank off the last of the pot o’ java I brewed this morning and went to make more at about nine-thirty. That’s what we do on mornings we have off from work: Drink too much coffee and lay around in our pajamas until ten or eleven o’clock. So when B… Read.

13th
We celebrated Friday the 13th with not just the usual one, but TWO special events, and they were so conveniently close to one another we walked across the street to get from the first to the second.

Oh hey, looky here. Beer. Lots of it. I managed to get 34 pints out of this batch, same as last time. It seems to be my lucky number. This is the second batch of the season, which I decided just tonight to call Packs A Wallop because it somehow ended up with a pleasantly… Read.

bottled!
Bottled! It’s 34 pints of red ale, the first batch of the year, and it tastes pretty good – there’s always enough left over in the bottom of the tub for a swig. It’s a little sweeter than I thought it would be, sweet enough that I was just a little bit worried that fermentation… Read.

I ate the tastiest meatball sandwich for dinner last night. We swung by the Alchemy Cafe because it was Thursday, and on Thursday nights I’m in charge of coming up with the dinner, so I usually come up with the suggestion to stop at Alchemy. We have yet to be disappointed by anything we’ve eaten… Read.

Beer again. Count yourself lucky. It’s either this, or space geekery. I don’t have the brainpower to come up with anything more original than this right now. A lot of nice details in this photo, as bad as it is, and it’s pretty bad. I couldn’t even be bothered to angle it so the overhead… Read.
