Recently, some friends and I were discussing bacon. As a kid, I didn’t eat the stuff, and had a vague aversion to it, for some unknown reason. I had NO IDEA what I was missing!
Now, of course, I consider bacon to be an important food group all its own. The conversion from [...]
The latest research seems to indicate that a few cups of coffee per day keeps cirrhosis away. Seems to be the perfect way to balance out the 17 beers a day needed to prevent prostate cancer.
Smart beer drinkers will have already noted that the hop content in the tested beers was most likely miniscule, [...]
The past few months, I’ve been all a-twitter over the new Mission of Burma album’s arrival. Aiding and abetting is the album’s own site, which has been adding songs to the live feed week-by-week. I am not enough of a record nerd to have participated in the every-song-gets-a-45 pre-release thing they ran, although I [...]
Granny vs. the Beer Bong
Granny wins. Yowza.
So on Friday, November 25, 2005, I ended the 6-year Homebrewing Hiatus. One batch of Colum^h^h^h^h Centennial IPA in the tank, fermenting strongly at 60F (woopsie, a touch cold there).

So we’ve been back for a few days now, and have yet to catch up on the sleep sacrificed on the trip home. That pales in comparison to the news that the very day we left (hot, sunny), June 9, the area was brutalized by hardcore downpours to the tune of $1.7 million in [...]
We’re off for 10 days of not thinking about renovation, painting, shower surrounds, leaky shutoff valves, woodchucks, budgets, libraries, project scheduling and the like. This shall be accomplished by attending a wedding, eating with friends, spending some serious time amongst the coastal redwoods, and generally loafing.
Y’all behave, now.

Love.
Barbecue.
