We're Obsessed with Beer & Bunnies
I've been cheating. Making quiche is easy and we've been eating plenty of it lately. I'm sure our cholesterol is through the roof and any day now we could collapse. It's all vegetarian at least, and even last weekend I really don't think I had any meat. I'm really not bothered, either. Despite feeling cold (which I do all the time anyway), I think my body likes being vegetarian.
I don't have any photos of my food, either - mainly because it's just quiche and I've been working incredibly long hours, so I've not been in the mood. At least my paychecks are looking a bit fatter. If I start cooking something different, I'll try to remember to take a photo.
So about 2 weeks ago, we brewed our first batch of beer - a nut brown ale. We're pretty proud of ourselves, even though it was mostly thanks to the brilliant woman who told us what to do and when. She graciously taught us everything and told us some hilarious horror stories that put the hubby at ease about his fears that we'd brew a bad batch. Which is understandable and being that we're new brewers - we're bound to have a crappy beer sooner or later. Even the best brewers can have Something Tragic Happen. The man would just like to have his first batch not suck, which is also understandable.
The batch should be ready to bottle on March 28th (Saturday). We are super excited and our friends (who's garage we used for storage) sent us videos of the beer bubbling. Very cool! If you click on the spoon, it will show you 4 more photos (if it asks for a password, you'll want to use browncoat) of the crew.
Tomorrow night (Friday), if you're in town - come to Roots and say "hi!" I plan to be there some time after 4pm and the man should meet us around 7:30p or so. They have great beer and a decent Happy Hour (and free wifi!), and we're not going anywhere. Although, we have a beer demo to attend at Steinbart's on Saturday morning, so we're not going to be there all night. (hubby will be outside cooking sausages and I think I'm going to try and learn something inside)
Oh - and anyone interested in getting together for a game of Killer Bunnies? Waiting on our shipment of our missing decks, but after that, we should be rocking. Crazy game - and it needs lots of table space (unless you like sitting on the floor - I don't).
