February 20, 2008

I just know these motherfuckers aren’t going to get any more red.  It’s been over 3 weeks and I have a feeling that a brine change is in order.

Homebrewing 101 - UPDATE

February 20, 2008

Everything turned out well.  My brother can’t stop drinking it and the guys over at The Garage Brewers Society (local homebrew club) said it was “drinkable”.  Not a bad review coming from some crazy beer aficionados.  I think it tastes pretty damn good for my first batch.

BBQ Pulled Pork Pancakes

Tonight Sarah and I decided to have homemade buttermilk pancakes for dinner.  She went the old school route topping her’s with maple syrup and butter.  I however chose a different path by topping two pancakes with delicious bbq pulled pork. (more…)

The Pizzaburger

February 19, 2008

I can’t take credit for this idea, as it was concocted and made real by my friends Josh and Dustin. A party was planned, and the food item that became its centerpiece is still talked about today. It was the pizzaburger: two Totino’s pizzas, a pack of cheese slices and a lot of ground beef. I feel lucky to have taken part in demolishing it, but after the jump are some pictures so you can live vicariously through our gastronomical dreams.

Pilsner Urkel

2005_0308_urkel.jpg

I brewed my second batch of home brew with my homie $50 Bill on Saturday.  It’s a Pilsner Urquell clone but I’m calling it Pilsner Urkel, which is basically the best name ever for a beer.  When I get stupid drunk and do something really dumb all I have to say is “Did I do thaaaaat?” and everyone laugh’s because I’m drunk and talking like Urkel.

I think one of you design peoples should hook up a Pilsner Urkel beer label for me.  Don’t worry about charging me because I won’t pay for it.

EDIT:

Here’s a photo of that shit lagering in my basement refrigerator next to some koolickles.  I should have this kegged in the next week or so.

Valentines Day ‘06

The heart-shaped meatloaf I hooked up for Sarah on Valentines Day a few years back didn’t turn out as romantic as I envisioned.

Looks kinda charred if you ask me.

Not Just for Guacamole

If you don’t have an ice cream maker may I suggest you to stop reading this boring post and take your ass to the store and purchase one. (more…)

The Koolickle Test

February 7, 2008

 

Next Tuesday I get to test out my Koolickles.   My sister-in-law’s boyfriend decided to make a batch after we bullshitted about these and they turned out ok (I think he may have fucked around with them too much).  So in order to set shit straight, I threw together a batch of red a few weeks ago.
