Well now I’ve done it… I finally decided to make a “Mexican pizza”. Which really isn’t Mexican at all, but is Tex-Mex. Not sure how it’s going to taste, but it looks and smells delicious. The timer just went off, so I’ll find out soon and if it’s any good and if it is, I’ll…
Read moreTea is the bomb
Since I’ve found Jasmine tea, it has become one of my staples. It along with Gunpowder, Japanese Cherry and Blue Lady. There are few things that just make life more bareable and this tea is one of them. When I’m out of sorts and need to refocus, tea always helps. I’m addicted I think. Its…
Read moreLansing City Market rocks
There is one staple in my life, The Lansing City Market. The people there are the ones that you can always count on to know what you need and are always willing to help you out. I’m a member of ELFCO (East Lansing Food Co-Op), but since they opened their stand at the City Market…
Read moreSpent Grain Bread
I got the start of this recipe from the Beer Advocate website. If you make beer in either Partial Mash or Full grain, I highly suggest this bread to use some of those delicious grains. Also, remember that depending on what you brewed the flavor of the bread is going to vary widely. A bread…
Read moreI love draft beer!
I used to think that it would be silly to have an in home draft beer system. Oh how wrong I was. No more bottles to rinse and restock along with the glasses. Don’t get me wrong, there will always be room for bottled beer in the other fridge, but kegging is a happy happy…
Read moreMijo’s
We went to a great diner for breakfast this morning. Usually at any new diner I’ll get corned beef hash, or steak & eggs, if they have it so I have a comparison. Mijo’s has both and they’re both phenominal! The hash was succulent. I can’t say that I’ve had better. It wasn’t burnt or…
Read moreSam’s kitchen in DeWitty
So, I’ve been meaning to write about Sam’s kitchen in DeWitt. I love breakfast there. I know it might seem a bit pricey for some, but it’s along the same price lines as say the Flap Jack Shack (another one of my favorites). Anyway I like it and there is a buffet for those who…
Read moreDry Hopping, Victory & North Coast Brewing
There has also been a demand for us to do a few batches with dry hopping. We’ll have to see what happens with that. I had some great brews from Victory Brewing, so I’m not at all opposed to the thought. I really enjoyed the Hop Wallop and Storm King. I’ll be trying to find…
Read morePorter gets good reviews, Raspberry Pale Ale on deck…
Well our porter has come of age and is getting some good reviews. I still think its too bitter, but it is mellowing with age. Probably if we would have remembered the honey in the brew it would be completely different too. We’re getting ready to transfer our Raspberry pale ale to secondary fermentation in…
Read moreHoney Kolsch is born and thoughts move to video
After visiting friends down by Detroit for the forth we came home and decided to brew up our Honey Kolsch. I think this one we actually did everything right. Amazing I know. Well almost everything. The gravity reading got forgotten before we pitched the yeast. I was thinking about putting together some videos for brewing,…
