I like this time at night on HBT

Snaps! Congrats to you and your family. Dang man, we only live 15 miles away. Hope to meet up with you and have a brew day before I move.

Move? Where you moving to?

 

[Stauffbier]

The world could use a lot more people like you Lead!

Today is brew day so time for a happy brew day dance!



But, it's also clean up the yard day to prepare for some trees coming down. In the last 2 years 3 limbs have come straight through the old roof and into the house. The first one in my craft room and that was devastating, ruined a whole table of artwork I had been working on. Not looking forward to the chore, our yard looks a little bit like a junk yard. If we had neighbors, we would definitely be the neighbors from hell.

The whiskey last night(was hubby's idea) isn't helping my motivation. Hubby has realized that building the house right in the middle of the woods, with trees to shade us in the summer wasn't such a good idea afterall. When he finally wakes up I think he'll also question his judgement about the whiskey.

Okay, motivation... oregano beer. I wonder what hops would go good with oregano, or just use the oregano in place of all the hops. Hmmm.

Hubby and I switched to a diesel truck years ago, probably 8-10 years ago, and we make our own diesel. Hubby has a machine that does it and even the local college, FAMU, has come to our farm to listen to hubby's demonstrations and see his work. I think he really is the smartest guy in the world, at least out of the ones I have met in person.

Love to see pictures of that operation!

They sell tickets for hubby's seminars and so I can't just show his work online, he'd kill me. The local college arranges for them about every 3-4 years and we're due for one soon. People travel from all over to go, the college makes all the arrangements and just use our land, kind of like renting it but giving hubby a percentage of profits. And he has spoken at each one so far, and if he gets too ill to keep speaking at them, he has taught enough people to take over for him. You can maybe search bio-diesel conference FAMU for more info. Ask when the next one will be. I really have no idea, the college just contacts us when needed.

Taxes are done!

A bittersweet moment. Glad they are done, but not happy about the outcome. I'm pretty sure the neighbors that were outside heard me yelling a couple times. Why else would they all stop working in their gardens and look at the house like that? It is definitely time for a HB.

Hey ladies and germs, it's Saturday night!

I just now realized that today is Saturday. Then I remembered posting this last night. That's how you know you need to get a life, when you don't know what day of the week it is. Holy cow.

One of my wife's Bromiliads bloomed and it looks pretty cool. I didn't know air plants flowered.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I didnt know there was such a thing as an air plant. My thumbs are decidedly not green.

I had enough beers that I didn't even notice that! haha..

Luckily you're an urban apartment dweller, and millions of children aren't depending on your gardening skills. You'd do ok with these though. They just kind of dangle there and look plant-like, and need to care or attention whatsoever. And occasionally one of them puts off a really cool looking flower!

It went over my head too, then found out it's still Saturday and not Sunday, wooo hoooo!

The world could use a lot more people like you Lead!

Thanks. Sorry I got so soppy on everybody last night. I was more drunk then I realized.

I seem to remember agreeing with you....

Did some cooking tonight, I've finally perfected my Zigeunerschnitzel. Been working on it for a while.

My favorite German restaurant went out of business a year ago. I found the german owner on LinkedIn, contacted him, and bought him lunch Friday. He gave me his recipe for that schnitzel and also for Jagerschnitzel. Not only did I finally nail the sauce, but he taught me the secret to making the perfect schnitzel, and it worked! I'm stoked.

No worries. We all go there. Hell, I might go there before the night is through. It is early after all.

As a matter of fact... I'm feeling a bit deep tonight. I'm going to go on a musical journey with my favorite girl Alison!

Won't you join me?!

 

[bottlebomber]

The wife is on a vegan kick this week so I made her this, it was pretty good.

 

[Stauffbier]

Robert Plant did a great job with Alison on this album.

Where is the nearest fortune teller, I wonder??

Nice! I cook Jagerschnitzel quite often. It's my daughter's favorite, as well as mine. I also make spatzle with my grandmother's old spatzles-scwhob (a German noodle press) to go with it. I recently discovered a shop where I can buy veal schnitzel's that come already breaded. All you have to do is fry them up. I think you've inspired me to cook some this week!

[Stauffbier]

Still on my journey...

 

[Leadgolem]

Ooooh, what exactly is this now.

 

[Stauffbier]

There's good folks here.....

 

[Stauffbier]

Time for some chicken scratch!

 

[bottlebomber]

Ooooh, what exactly is this now.

This is... Black beans with peppers and onion, quinoa with braised chipotle tofu, avocado and mango salad with lime and smoked paprika. Oh wait, there was a little sour cream, so not totally vegan.

The dust storms in El Paso this year are horrible...

I'm like the total opposite of vegan, but I'd eat the hell out of that!

How's everyone's night going? I'm drinking a beer, waiting for a pizza, and planning tomorrow's brew day.

 

[Stauffbier]

Doing well Beast!

I just dry hopped an amber and cleaned and sanitized a few kegs. Tomorrow I'm kegging a hard apple cider.

Enjoy your brew day tomorrow!
