On the coffee. Never remember if that’s on topic or off. Miss the app tbh

Where did everybody go?

Apparently victims of ‘the virus’

Oh I have missed this thread...but I couldn't remember what it was called so I couldn't zomibf...zimfiby...ressurtrick...bring it back. I need more beer before I go fire up the barbecue. I think that's a rule.

i gotta tell you woman, reading that was like a hiccup that you can't hic'up'! i was somewhere in between laughing and wondering what was going on...but started cracking up when i started thinking about my 'attempts' at humor that go to a cold room, which reminded of the scene in Bad Santa, "They all can't be winners kid!"

hope, i hope your BBq'ing some nice brussel sprouts, parmesan dusted romaine halves, with a nice skirt steak for fajitas with some grilled bell peppers in them!

at least for the Brussels sprouts. Have never willingly eaten one of those nasty sulfurous green balls o' yuck. 'Twas burgers with some tasty grilled onions on brioche buns.

i was going for a nutritionally complete meal plan, sprouts for vitamin k & c, romaine for vitamin a...got your Fruits and veggies covered, mostly, top up the vitamin c with the bell pepper in the fajita...oh well, double up on the bell pepper i guess and garnish with a good bit of parsley....

(and i love brussel sprouts! )

SA, fried in bacon fat they are pretty damn good. LOL (feel strange responding to an ancient thread) yeah right. LOL

Edit: Here is a recipe I found that sounds pretty good. Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts Are Perfectly Sweet and Salty

personally, i like them grilled....i have had them in bacon cream sauce that was scrumptious though!

 

[Zekk]

I could use a beverage right about now. Too bad I’m drinking coffee at work

 

[seatazzz]

Oh thank Ninkasi we have moved away from brussels sprouts. @bracconiere my dear, you know I platonically love you, but your food choices sometimes astound me.

*edit i've had a few homebrews since getting home from work, and the above sentence took WAY more backspacing than it should have.

Growing up with overly steamed Brussel sprouts does a bad justice on a wonderful vegetable. Once you learn the joys of carmelizing and searing them, your life has finally begun.

I demand a recipe!

 

[bracconiere]

@bracconiere my dear, you know I platonically love you

i was just meditating on the same....hope the vibe comes through the ether...after brewing once a week for 20 years ~ i'd love having some broad, that still thinks it makes her cool! i assure you i'd patronize you to no end! not only that, if i need to change the brakes on the car or something.....maybe we'd swap brewing duties....but to me we're all just rando's on the internet! at least were not all crack heads on the street!

 

[bracconiere]

i weighed 260lbs when i had that! i don't remember....now i just give them a message in oil, cut in half, and toss on the grill pan... people call them all kinds of deragatory terms, but but grilled...i'd say mellow, and robust, deep flavor!

I don't mean to be an ass, but I've got that part down to a science. You had me at bacon cream sauce, and the wife and I were hoping for some details!

weighing 260lbs? lol

if i remember, from vague memory...render the bacon cuttings in a pan, then sautee brussel sprouts cut in half in fat, till golden, then add the cream. finish cooking while the cream thickens? some pepper, basicly a K.I.S.S. recipe......

edit: i mean, if you really want to make vegetables junk food.. there you go! you can always say it's keto, i guess!

Lol no, I've been 165 for 20 years despite my efforts at the gym and at the keg

Thanks! That does sound simple enough. I wouldn't have thought to add cream to Brussel sprouts but I guess I know what I'm making this weekend!

Spent today brewing beer, cleaning the brewery, playing with new toys (brewery scale and BBQ injector), and reminiscing back to my teenage years when a day spent entirely on my bike, riding all over Renton, did not result in an extremely sore butt for days. We rode 44 miles yesterday on the new ebikes, ran both batteries down to almost nothing, could barely walk when done, but had a wonderful time. Have driven past the area east of Snoqualmie Pass many times over the years but it looks a lot different from the (hard as a rock) seat of a bike. Even saw that elusive wild animal, known as The Karen, who had some nasty comments on ebikes on the trail (they are allowed, we checked, and saw many others on our trek). We didn't hear the entire rant as we sped past at 15mph (safely, I might add).

did the sprouts happen?

Sadly, not yet. We're in the midst of packing for a move. So, we're trying to keep things pretty basic. I'll report from the new home in October, unless I can squeeze it in beforehand.

ahh, so you're looking at from the ashes of the old place, the sprouts of success will pop up!

Yes, and to take it literally-especially after the epic failure of my garden this year! (With the exception of my onions and garlic)

damn, i couldn't get my tobacco started this year either....but i have a plan for next year i think is fool proof!

 

[pvtpublic]

For chew or cigars? I miss that hobby...
What took out the crops?

well all though i do like the burn and flavor of chewing green leaves....really i'm hoping to ditch the cigs for dry snuff again, so i could possibly win my independence...

and nothing took them out, i didn't even get them past tiny sprouts, kept spacing watering them...but now i have those things you stick in the pot that just drip as it dries out...think that's going to be the ticket for next year! and i hope all the spent grain i've been dumping in the garden bed will be good fertilizer for them...

What this thread needs, is an enema.

No, really, just wanted to bump it because this is one of my favorite threads on HBT. Today I brewed up a batch of Strata IPA, made a batch of hard seltzer, and tried my hand at pulled candy after 30 years of not making it. House has a delightful aroma of boiling wort, boiling sugar water, and more spearmint oil than should be legal. Now I'm here waiting for someone to amuse me. So??????
