QOTD: What's your favorite steakhouse side dish?
/QUOTE]


Late reply.... More steak. Also just about any kind of potatoes. And any good Mac'n cheese. Had some truffle Mac'n cheese yesterday that was pretty awesome. Lobster Mac n cheese last week, and Kraft Mac n cheese about once a week with the 3 yr old. [emoji16]. I don't discriminate.

 

[BrewinBromanite]

Solid indeed. My money was firmly on poutine.



Here is some curling.

This was good! I've got a bunch of family in PEI. Being from TX we give each other a hell of a time with accents, stereotypes, etc. Will be sharing his one. Thanks, Gav!

QOTD - If I am making it myself, more steak and or grilled sweet onions. Otherwise taters or some other starch to help break up the mass of meat and fat in your gullet







Kale. Kale is no better for you than any other dark leafy green. It just has a better marketing department.

MIL makes some pizza with spinach, kale, and a bunch of other fibers stuff. Calls it power-poop pizza...

Oh oops. Hi.

Cleared up nicely. Really chilly this morning. Had to swap flip flops for trainers.

1 hour of blissful quiet ahead.

No worries man. It's a gem. Laughed like a mad person when I first saw this. Giggling like a schoolgirl now seeing it again. I love watching curling in all seriousness. Don't get the chance too often. Was in BC a few weeks ago and watched it when the kids were napping whenever it was on (seems like it was always on)

@m00ps Beer

Pianoman sad. Last of m00ps 6pk. Finished dipa/hana lite. With only mash, efficiency way lower then expected. No worries. More concerned with end product. Hana appears sweeter then expected and could have gotten more in the tun! What a fracking hobby! Summer Love taste awesome in the sun and after standing next to an electric stove all day.

Working on Terapin Hopsecutioner number three and watching Forged In Fire; best Georgia beer I've had so far. It easily passes Sweetwater Hop Hash as my new favorite.

I'm also in the process of joining a local homebrew club and looking forward to getting back to it.

In the mean time, I've taken up woodworking and might start learning to make knives... I like hobbies.
Cheers gents, here's what I made today. First ever woodworking project, so be gentle! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1462058261.817435.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1462058275.819662.jpg

@TheMadKing That's a Bad A** spoon and you christened it with blood too.
Welcome to GA. Hopsacutioner is a solid IPA, look for Creature Comforts Tropicalia too. Which club? I'll be at Operation Homebrew next Saturday May7th National Homebrew Day brewing. Swing by if ya can.

 

[cyanmonkey]

Trying to convince my wife that a beer a night is normal. Any suggestions? (Unfortunately, new wife is not going to work as she'll take me for 75%)

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

First, that's pretty cool wood project. 2nd who are you new guys?

Awesome beer! Rye, bourbon RIS from PintHousePizza North Austin.

I'm joining CCAR (Chicken City Ale Raisers) up here in Gainesville. Any tips on where to find those? The selection at Kroger and Publix is very limited.

I'll be there! What kind of events do they have going on, and who should I look for?

Hi I'm Mat, I'm not super new, but prefer to identify as newish (i use the newish restrooms too). I enjoy hobbies and being anti-sober and I'm learning to love the South since I just moved here from the Pacific northwest

Hell yeah it's fun, I have all the power tools, but something about doing it by hand is more fun. Newbie tip: watch a lot of YouTube videos on sharpening your tools, and buy a decent set of tools. I recommend Narex as the best for the money.

Showed my wife this earlier. A few years ago we had some family from PEI come down for a visit, and curling came up (well, b/c, Canadians...), and she told me she made a comment about it "not even being a sport," followed by some of the sweetest old ladies I know attacking her on the spot. Haha. I like watching it, too, but mainly because I find it amusing with all the seriousness and sweeping.

How's the age on that? Found my first 6'er of the season a week or two ago, and the bottom of the cans had "best by March" date on it. Last 6 pack at total wine that day, too. Still hoppy, but not pungent like I've had previously. Had my last one this afternoon also. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1462066312.066092.jpg

Pungent is a good descriptor. I thought it was a bit phenolic but I am rubbish at describing beers so I don't know how reliable that is. It was very cloudy, lots of suspended hop matter in the beer. A tasty beer for sure. Not sure on the date of packaging. I got it off the shelf too, not fridge (dumbflockery).

Certainly an unexpected aroma from an APA.

See if you can find a good bottle shop around the Buford/Gainesville area. I'll see what I can do on my end for next Saturday.

I'll be there! What kind of events do they have going on, and who should I look for?

Some of us from The New London Brew Club will be brewing. There will be a peoples choice Homebrew contest along with food. Look for the weird guy with ink on his leg brewing a RIS BIAB.
