I forgot my lunch today and so I went to the Rice Kitchen, which is one of my more favored Chinese restaurants. I got my normal Lunch special, but I thought I would try something new. So I got the Hot and Sour Soup… ummm wow. I think my lips may burst [...]
So I finally broke down and got some goat chops at the City Market. Now my chore is to figure out how to best dress them. And no I’m not talking in a frilly dress either.
Seriously though… I’ve got nothing on this one, so it’ll be an adventure.
As you may or may not remember, I made a lemon cordial at the same time as I made the lime and cherry cordial. I’m very pleased with the Lime and meh about the Cherry. The Lemon has a LOT of potential, but I think it’s going to need to age a bit before it [...]
So I managed to pull it off… I made a double batch of the Lime cordial and I’ll be a monkey’s aunt if it didn’t turn out better than the last batch! I’m really excited about it! I tried some straight and with the Lemon Codial and then finally with some Sierra Mist…. I wasn’t [...]
I’m trying my hand at some more cordials. I’m thinking this batch should turn out pretty good, though I’m concerned that I may have added the simple syrup too early and it may cause the flavor to not be what I want. Apparently adding it too hot can cause some degradation in the flavor overall. [...]
Bryan and I have found a new breakfast spot that we absolutely love, Portable Feast & Friends. The restaurant is on Turner Street in Old Town. We’ve gone there the last 3 Saturdays and every time the quality of the food is superb and the staff keeps my coffee cup topped off. That is one [...]
As you may have read, Bryan and I broke the stout recipe into 5 separate 1 gallon carboys to test that addition of various things in the secondary fermentation. We bottled the Dry Hopped one and the Control on Tuesday and we bottled the remaining 3 last night with the help of our Igor. [...]
So I decided to try sea urchin in sushi form the other day. I would not suggest trying it to any one else unless they had a strong stomach. Not that it tasted bad, it was the texture that so COMPLETELY grossed me out. I can say that I’ve had it and [...]
We’ve brewed a new Stout, but this one (Dark Horse 4) is going to have a little twist going into the secondary… or should I say secondaries. We are going to split the batch into 5 separate 1 gallon batches and see what happens when we do a few different things to it. We will [...]
I’ve made the foray into the realms of happy little cordials. It seems a rather straight forward process, so I’m hopeful that it will work out a bit better than my first attempts at sodas. I’ve started out with some rather simple ones:
Banana
Lime
Hazelnut
The Hazelnut one was kind of a cop out. It’s was a “Quick [...]
