what’s this?
Bottled Blind Pig!? Looks like it could happen soon! Check out the (subtle, no doubt) news on the Russian River Brewing Co. website!
homebrew pairings
So, I’ve been homebrewing for a solid five months now, and have a solid seven batches of homebrew to show for it. It’s pretty satisfying, I have to say. (The complete list should be here, but I’ve been a bit delinquent in updating the archive).
Anyway, I took a look at our fridge and our “cellar” [...]
My Cat, the Food Snob
I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous. I just caught Slidell with his tongue gobbling up the remainder of food on my plate! And this isn’t the first time! Over the past year, I dare say he’s become remarkably dog-like in his interest of our dinner scraps.
Yet there’s only certain things he declares interest in. And [...]

OLS Weeks 4 & 5
It’s OLS catch-up day! (I apologize for the brevity of this post, but I’ve got a batch of homebrew going and I keep leaping up from the computer to tend to it).
Week 4:
Week 4 found me with a dozen friends over for a backyard barbeque, and the pleasure of realizing I could feed them locally. [...]
One Local Summer Week # 3: Grouper!
Ah, me and OLS–there’s always a reason for me to get behind. While busy weekends have kept me from posting, they haven’t kept me from eating delicious local meals. Here’s my meal from OLS week 3 which was easily my favorite meal of the summer so far.
This week I stopped by the World Famous Smoked [...]
