A Mexican food 'Brew Day Buffet'.

A Mexican food 'Brew day Buffet'

Gentlemen,

Since I brew in my kitchen,
and brewing ale and cooking food are basically incompatable,
'they get in each other way',
I can do one, but not both,
{at the same time and in the same place,}
and do them well.
I either brew ale or cook food.
Hmmm...
That means on 'Brew day' I miss meals.
{and get too drunk and pass out.}

Ya'll, I like to brew in the morning or during the day.
To start fresh and before I get too drunk.

Last time I brewed I woke up before daylight
as I heard Sandymay barking at something out back,
so I let her out and started organizing my brewery,
washing and cleaning the kitchen,
and made a mess of 'Mexican food' laid out buffet style
on the table in the den.
It was spectacular.

Everything,
hard Chalupa {flat taco} shells warmed in the oven,
soft tortillas cooked in a little oil.
A bowl of pinto beans 'I cooked in the 'crock pot'
the other day and 'mashed'.
A bowl of lettuce,
a bowl of Velvetta and diced tomatoes
finely chopped and mixed, ie. 'Cheese sauce'.
'Taco meat' made with an 'envelope' of seasonings.
Small bowls of sour cream, mozzerella cheese,
chopped onions, hot sauce, green sause,
fresh jalapenos, the salt.
All laid out on the table in the den with plates,
silverware, the works.

And 'the Buffet' was {out} of the kitchen.
The kitchen was for brewing and the den was for eating.
All day the 'Brew day Buffet' was ready to eat!
The microwave was right beside my chair
and I didn't even have to get up,
just 'nuke' the beans and taco meat.
Nuke the 'Cheese sauce' and make a taco,
a chalupa, an enchalada,
or just a bowl of beans with mozz, and sour cream on top.

I always start with store bought 'Chalupa shells',
hard and warmed in the oven.
Velveta and finely chopped diced tomotoes,
and a little salt, 'Cheese sauce'.
poured on the flat shells
{which are cheaper than taco shells.}
Then hot sauce, and sour cream,
onions and jalapenos on the side...

Then... a soft tortilla, rolled up with taco meat,
a sauce or sour cream and with a big mess of beans
'on the side' too.
'Para Costilla'
Maybe with mozzerela and onions on top.
'Onions and jalepenos on the side'
It is a 'painters pallet' of 'culinary colors'.
{How about that one?}

Boys I am learning some good ways to brew ale
as well as cook food.
I sure like both and would highly recommend
the Mexican food 'Brew day Buffet'.

Next week the BBQ 'Brew day Buffet'.

Thank you

Sounds like a great day. We've got a smoker out back that frequently sees a couple of pork butts or a brisket on brewday. I brew outdoors, so cooking is still a possibility, but barbecue is the preferred method. The way my last few sparges have gone, the beer is done at the same time as the meat, this works out well.

That's smart brewing...I brew in my kitchen, and on brewing days forget to eat as well, Though I don't tend to drink til late in the brew day, by the end my bood sugar's pretty tanked by the end of the day.
