I think I’ve finally found my favorite coffee. I tend to float around and drink whatever coffee is at hand. I’ve had really bad coffee and really good coffee, but there was never a coffee that stood out and said, ” Hey you, yeah you! You want to drink me!”. That is until I had [...]
So if you remember recently I made root beer.
And I just realized it’s still outside! Crap I hope it doesn’t make the bottles explode.
Anyway, the recipe for the brew called for 20 inches of pencil thick sarsaparilla root. Well I didn’t have whole root, but I did have shredded and sifted root, so we went [...]
I know it probably doesn’t sounds the greatest, but damn it’s pretty good!
I was going to have tomato soup for lunch today, but then thought ‘hey, I’ll throw in some cheese curds and it’ll be even better’. Then something unexpected happened. The Spinach I had had in the fridge thawing called out to me…
“Add me [...]
We cleaned out the deep fryer for the chimis we wanted to make and that led to all sorts of fatty goodness. I love my deep fryer and now I feel bad for ignoring it. I made beignet, those littel french doughnuts you get a Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, and smothered them in [...]
Flour tortillas from scratch are fairly easy to make and they rawk hardcore! I made a batch, without consulting my Mexica friend, which proved to be less than optimal. I cooked them on the griddle for too long and they came out a bit … hmmmm… shall we say crispy. We’re going to try again [...]
So I tried making root beer Friday. I’m still waiting for carbonation to finish in the bottles, then we’ll see if it’s any good. I’m hoping it is, but it seems a little heavy on the sarsaparilla. If I make it again, I think I’ll filter it through some cheese cloth. There seems to be [...]
So now that I managed to make a Ginger Beer and a Lemon Lime Soda, with limited self-injury. I think it’s time to move on to bigger and I hope yummier stuff. Not that my first two sodas weren’t great, but I really want a grape soda and a cherry-vanilla soda and a couple others. [...]
We made a breakfast stout this afternoon. It should have a fairly low alcohol content and a nice silky mouth feel from the oats. This was a non-organic recipe we decided to make. If we like it, then we’ll reproduce it using organic ingredients. Bryan is getting to really great at [...]
I made the first recipe for Pretzels again… I’m still having issues getting them to not stick to the parchent paper when they’re rising, but now that I think of it, I didn’t exactly grease/butter/oil the paper either. I guess I’ll have to try that next time. Other than that I think they turned out [...]
Ok, so a while ago I mentioned that we tried making a Mexican Pizza. It turned out phenominal! We used the spent grain pizza dough we’d made from the Hazelnut Brown Ale. I had already done the 500°F prep on it so that was a bonus. We had some Hot Italian Sausage (about .75 pounds) [...]
