    Fun Beer Crap!

    I just came across that Burger King has had a couple locations going in Florida that serve beer. Here's the yelp to at least one of them ... http://www.yelp.com/biz/whopper-bar-orlando Supposedly there are others, possibly Vegas? Anyone ever been to one of these BK's with beer? Wondering...

    Photos from your Youth

    There are very few pictures that exist of me from when I was a lot younger.

    Poured Resin Penny Bar Top question

    I'm not terribly concerned about the physics. The bumblebee should not be able to fly due to the ratio of it's body to wing surface ... yet it can fly and I do not ask why and yet I still sleep quite well. Anyhow ... to your request: As I was not present at the time my friend actually did the...

    Too Sweet Pinot Noir

    all ... Please excuse my bumping this very old post. Having just referred someone to that old post for reference ... I hesitate to do this but I feel I need to note a correction to that post - as this topic does come up occasionally and I am no longer able to add the correction to the...

    Cider fermentation is not moving, will this method work?

    Yea, you may want to take a taste to make sure the cider is still palatable. There are threads on HBT which discuss how to work with an attempted ferment that turned out to be sorbated for one reason or another. Considering you are doing 5 gallons and with cider that might have been a bit more...

    Poured Resin Penny Bar Top question

    It is done very specifically. I still keep one foot in the hospitality/restaurant industry and checked with a friend who just did his bar a little while ago. 1) Yes, you absolutely *do* have to glue the pennies down. You use *Elmer's* glue because it dries clear. You do a 1 square foot area...

    Restaurant Beer Dinner Experiences

    I've put on a large beer tasting event before, but never a wine or beer dinner. One thing that we had to deal with in our tasting with a lot of vendors and beer choices was that when a customer gets a beer sample that they don't care for you have to provide a way to dispose of it so they can...

    Selfie Stick?

    I believe the Selfie Stick is permanently destined for the garage/yard sale. Right next to the plastic banana slicer the Jane Fonda Workout video and the breast cushion ... Ok. Maybe not the breast cushion ... I'm certain there must be a legitimate use for that. But right next to the...

    Fighting winter sickness

    I've noticed that oddly, if I've had inflammation from an infection including things such as from a cut etc or something more systemic, if I get hammered, the infection is less the next day. Kinda like DIY chemo or something. Last year I thought I'd noticed the same effect with a cold I had...

    Fighting winter sickness

    Nope, not a nerve. :-) That's one of the downsides of written communication, it is hard to quite judge, or for that matter get across, the tenor that something was written in. I was just reinforcing my earlier suggestions. I find the topic more significant than say, lawn care or somesuch...

    What are you listening to (music!!!) right now? Embarrassing or not... share

    what a stressed-out antisocial mood ... some of the stuff I'm listening to ain't doin it. Not helpful. Good thing I got away from the habit of going to bars when I ought to be in a "keep head down and mouth shut" pattern ... Some kind of "age brings wisdom" thing. so ... this album is an...

    Got a deep fryer?

    I currently have a deep frier that looks like a large crock pot but with a basket and a degree'd temperature setting. I used to use, and wish I still had, a large cast iron griswold dutch oven. The heavy cast iron was great for keeping the oil at temperature. I want a nice large La Creuset...

    NYE Traditions & Such...

    When I was a kid we did have some New Years Eve and New Years Day traditions. On New Years Eve, sometimes my parents would have about 6 or 8 other couples over from a club they were members of, so a tradition for us kids was to get the leftovers (awesome). But otherwise for just my...

    Selfie Stick?

    The Other Half thought it hilarious that, when I get flipped off in traffic I often respond by holding up one hand, fingers extended, and the other hand with just two fingers extended ... which I explained was a whole week's worth of "the finger".

    Fighting winter sickness

    "Actually, and with all due respect" ... with regard to your suggestion that my post about early stage treatment was wrong ... you are *completely incorrect*. You may check your facts before posting by googling "rhinovirus" plus "reinfection" if you like. Regarding my previous statement ...

    Fighting winter sickness

    You have to hammer it and don't let up until it's gone. 1500mg vitamin C, 4x /day Cold-eeze style Zinc lozenges 8x /day Stay hydrated. Lots of water. Avoid dairy products ... they have the tendency to thicken mucus secretions. Re-contamination and re-infection is huge ... Make four complete...
