Roasted coffee (columbian) in my Whirley Popper. Smells great. Can't wait to grind and drink this weekend!

Nice! How did you like the whirley popper? I use an air popper right now, but I'm thinking of switching so I can do a larger batch size. I'm concerned I won't get as much consistency though.

It's my first time, so I can't compare it to any other method. But I have to say I'm very happy how well it went. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

I posted a few more pics in the coffee thread, here.

I made speghetti with jalapeno cheddar sausage and a matcha green tea pound cake.

What you got?

 

[one-L]

A little of this, a little of that...

 

[Hello]

What you got?

Well I was going to call you a wuss and tell you to stick to bread and beer. But I caved when I saw the whirly pop thing. I'm a sucker.

I'd say it's near impossible to roast coffee beans AND take pics at the same time. They go from brown to charcoal in about 30 seconds. But let's see your post-roasted beans.

BTW, advice on the webz is to let the beans offgas, unsealed, for 2 days. Apparently they give off a bunch of CO2. Mine smell so freaking good right now.

A philly cheese steak skillet using the recipe on the back of the stroganoff pasta sides. Seasoned the steak with some mrs. Dash southwest chipotle and salt and pepper. Maybe add mushrooms next time.

I made Beef Burgandy for dinner tonight red wine, beef stick, cognac, mushrokms, fresh herbs etc. I made it with beef short ribs instead of the chuck I would usually use. I always take pictures of my food but i didn't this time. At any rate it was great.

Czech pork roast . Absolutely the best pork roast ever . So glad I came across this recipe .
Well I used a Belgian IPA for the beer instead of the traditional beer. The beer sure gave the carrots and potatoes a nice flavor . the first time I made this I used a Muntons English Bitter . It was also good .

the smell of freshly roasted beans is so delightful . If they could only capture it in an air freshner

I made coffee with my beans today. I was expecting disappointment. Man, what a cup. It was so full of nutty flavor. There was zero of that acrid bitter burnt taste you get from a lot of cups of coffee. Smooth and nutty. I'm hooked.

I worry now that I won't be able to reproduce this in my next roasting.

You may not get that exact roast again, but you will get a tasty, nuanced cup that you'll enjoy. With more experience, you'll have more consistency.

We had a bit of a get together at the place last night. I grilled up about 4 lbs of burgers and some hot dogs, while the roomates made up Buffalo Chicken dip and Artichoke dip and Sangria. Then there was also a backyard campfire with S'mores and a severe dent was put into my kegs. I hope I have enough beer leftover to keep me while I rebuild my pipeline again.

BACON!
Made a quick panini with aged gouda, why's my arm numb?

Jarred up some kraut today. Then grilled some brats and made bacon & sausage wrapped jalapenos stuffed with asadero cheese.

Surf and turf. Yeah I ate it all. Don't judge.
