Name: Black Hawk Stout Brewer: Mendocino Brewing Link: http://www.mendobrew.com/brews/black_hawk.html Taste: Fairly bland. Don’t get me wrong, it was decent, but it was your generic stout. Colour: Dark. Stout-y. Likeability: If it’s what’s on offer, I’ll drink it. But I’m not going to go out of my way to look for it. Generic enough, I wouldn’t [...]
Name: Red Sky at Night Brewer: Clipper City Brewing Link: http://www.clippercitybeer.com/ Taste: Decent. A bit of bitter, and it definitely TASTED “red”. Interesting factoid: I hear, smell, taste things as colors sometimes! I had this beer a couple days ago, so the taste is vague in my memory. It was, I suppose, immemorable. Not a [...]
Name: Dead Guy Ale Brewer: Rogue Link: http://www.rogue.com Flavour: I want to call it a dark caramel. Funny thing about “tastes” in things like this — without a common point of reference, it’s meaningless I don’t even know what “Dark Caramel” would be! But the beer tasted somewhat caramelly, but with a bit of a [...]
This category is for drinks. Starting up with beer, since that’s what I drink mostly. But when we do mixed drinks or something, I’ll probably include them. B/c making “drunkdragons.net” would be excessive. It’d just be another blog I don’t use Basically, going to describe flavor, color, and how I liked them.
So, it’s been another 4 month hiatus OTOH, maybe i can claim “BABY!” as an excuse? Even if I can’t, I am, so … We haven’t been cooking much fancy of late, although I should review the vegetable sauce and the fish seasoning, those were pretty good … We’ve also been slacking off on making [...]
this week’s menu, as well as i recall it: Stuffed Salmon Pasta Casserole Leftover Casserole Tilapia (or other Fish Dish) Tacos Leftover Pizza Baked Potato We only had to buy potatoes, taco bits, and we’ll need to pick up fish for the tilapia night whenever we choose for it. Otherwise, most of this weeks’ grocery [...]
Looking back at last week: Stuffed Salmon This worked out well. Next step is obviously figuring out how to prep it ourselves instead of paying Whole Foods, but in the meantime this definitely works on the menu Stir Fry This should probably have it’s own wrap post, but nutshell: still good option, just need to [...]
Here’s the menu for this week. Not sure what day we’re starting menus, but last night’s dinner was part of it, so probably sunday-saturday. we also tend to grocery shop on sunday, so it works out Feta & Spinach Stuff Salmon Fish Stir-fry Pasta Casserole Tacos Corn Chowder Leftover Casserole Baked Potatoes The added beauty [...]
So, we’ve decided to work on our budget again. Because we’re broke, yaknow. Anyway, we’re taking out 200$/two-weeks for groceries, and basically that covers groceries. 100$/month for eating out (actually, i think we may have rolled that into the grocery budget for one big fat budget …) The idea is that when we run out [...]
we picked up some stirfry fish at Whole Foods last week. We liked stir fry, but since I can’t eat beef strips anymore, we havne’t done it. Never occurred to me to use fish, go figure i managed to stirfry WITHOUT burning myself with oil go me! was pretty decent. A little high on fish [...]
