Sunday Morning

[unionrdr]

Got my ESB bottled up & started cleaning up to try & brew today.

Another cold Sunday morning here in western New York state, with yet another 6" of snow that fell overnight. The wind is blowing pretty steady and the thermometer is reading -6*F right at the moment.

We had the kids and the baby down for dinner last night, and talked them into staying, instead of trying to drive the 50 miles home, in what was near white out conditions.

I'm sure that omelettes, home fries, bacon, sausage, toast and coffee will be in order at some point this morning. Then the driveway will need to be cleared before the kids can get out. No small task as the tractor broke down on Friday. I'll have to beg a favor form one of the neighbors. Good thing they are all so great.

Then maybe I'll watch a western or two this afternoon and a hockey game tonight before falling asleep in my recliner.

Just another Sunday! I hope everyone enjoys what ever their Sunday brings to them!

Another wonderful morning with -7* here. Planning on working on my snowblower today, replacing the gas line and working on the carburetor (I really wish I could drag the thing inside where it would be above 0*), going to my son's hockey game, then hopefully getting in a long overdue brew session.

It's already dropped 6 degrees in the last hour. It's now 3 degrees with a windchill of -18. I have lost track of how much snow has fallen in the last 3-4 days. They predict an inch or two and we got a consistent 6-8 inches each day. The paths I have been shoveling for the dogs now tower over their heads. My son says I look like a confused robot out there shoveling. As soon as I finish one pass, I have to start over again. I know this is VT and we take it in stride, but this seems never ending.

At least the wood is stacked on the porch, there is plenty of coffee and NPR News is on the radio.

 

[JohnSand]

Well, it went the other way here (sort of). They were forecasting 8" of snow and 12*. But it looks more like 4", 20*. Right now it's a balmy 17, but with winds 30-40mph, it feels right around 0. So I think we may go to church. But I'm still making chili for dinner. And beer, I'll be drinking beer.

 

[unionrdr]

-5F here with -23 wind chill. Heater losing ground & wife's sick. I think she got it from our youngest. Dang car is out. Got nugget nectar last night, so it's good there.

A typical Sunday morning for me. Coffee and some easy tunes. Johnny Cash this week.

Had a few inches of thunder snow last night, followed by ridiculous winds that caused whiteout conditions. Wind is crazy this morning, turning our temp of 5 degrees into a wind chill of -24. But, it is winter, so it is what it is.

I've got some beers I'd like to bottle today, but with all the other stuff I want to get done today, I expect that I'll never get to them before I start my workweek tonight.

 

[Beernik]

I have 400 miles of driving to look forward to today. I was hoping to be on the road in two hours. But I slept late and haven't packed yet.

 

[vNmd]

We are sitting at about 5 degrees & windy (-11 wind chill). For MD that is fairly cold. Doing the work thing again. Of course to make things worse the cafeteria cook called out so nothing decent for breakfast. Thinking of doing a pilsner this week on my extra day off.

There's a country song in here somewhere . Cheers!

Err, I should probably call these "long" ribs...

On my second cup of coffee, listening to the Sinatra album du jour, (In the Wee Small Hours, 1955), and soon heading to the kitchen to make chicken and waffles. Today will be a good day.

 

[Kirkwooder]

Ooooo, chicken and waffles.......

Today is the first day in a month that it has been even close to the freezing point. Right now the thermometer reads 33*F and I feel that I need to go outside and do something! :rockin: Maybe I'll brew!

I hope everyone enjoys this day, and every other, like it was your last, cause you never know!

 

[imasickboy]

Ooooo, chicken and waffles.......

Just to be clear, I'm making the PA Dutch version, not the soul food version.

Not my preference, but I'm from the south, whereas my family was all born and raised here in Lancaster County.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Cleaning up the house while enjoying some coffee. Gonna run some errands in a bit, then try to brew up a batch of white ipa and keg a DIPA. Might invite some of the kids' friends over too if the house is all clean.

Good morning, HBT! Here in the Ozarks, the coffee is flowing, the eggs are cooking, and we're settling in for a lazy morning. Maybe some light shopping later, and a visit to my parents. Happy Sunday, guys.

I didn't know there was more than one "chicken and waffles". But how can chicken and waffles be bad?

 

[BBQB]

Well I woke up Sunday morning with no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert

PA Dutch is roasted or stewed chicken, with gravy. The other version uses fried chicken, and maple syrup.

Both sound good to me! :rockin: Chicken and waffles are two of my favorite things!

I don't know how you could go wrong putting the two together. Kinda like chocolate and peanut butter!

I was up rather later late last night howling at the moon in the home bar. I started a thread on said bar but it never gained any traction so I attached some pictures cause I think its neat to see. Anywho, woke up around 1130 and got the coffee going after some much needed water. SWMBO was up and about cleaning and what not. The dogs chose to stay in bed with me. After that, I got up and got going to check in with HBT and then worked on some homework for the Master's program. Ate some left over chicken soup for dinned and settled in with a Merlot for a night cap. Yeah, it was a good Sunday.

 

[KnuckleEye]

Started my Sunday morning finishing a graveyard shift. Luckily it was slow. After a short nap while the family went to church woke up just in time to greet them home. After a quick bite sat to watch E.T with my kids. Their first time watching it. Man that made me feel old.

 

[Fedora]

Good morning HBT.

 

[jschein]

It's freakin snowing here, again. Just staying in with a fire and some delicious brunch stout

 

[Kirkwooder]

Breakfast has been made and served, the dishes are done and put away. We are now ready to face the day ahead, which promises to be a full one.

A neighbor had a friend get stuck about half way up his 1/2 mile long driveway and has asked for some help recovering her car. The weatherman is calling for another 6-12 inches of fresh snow on top of the 30+ inches that are already on the ground.

My wife has decided that she would like me to roast a chicken for dinner. I'm sure I'll be making mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy to go along with it. There's cheese cake left from dinner Friday night with the kids. A few Rye Pale Ales to top it all off and the day will be complete.

I hope everyone enjoys whatever the day bring their way!

 

[cannman]

Pliny the elder clone brew day! 50% chance snow... We are so brewing!
