dino. posted:I looked at the calendar, and it's only eight more months until Christmas! I can't wait to make this one a testament to how much I love Puppy. He's been an especially good boy this year, and Santa has lots of lovely things planned. Money's a little tight this year, so I figure if I start saving now, I can buy him some cool stuff that he's been eyeing, and make a few things too. That way, he doesn't have to just rely on my lame hand-made gifts, and can have some things that he deserves. God drat, how did I get so fortunate to have such an amazing man? y'all are seriously the happiest married couple I know

The hardware store sells spent whisky barrel halves for planters. That's wicked awesome, so I got one and transplanted half the herbs that survived the winter into it.

I see that there. posted:Man I made biscuits today using my sourdough starter and some lard cut into the flour. Did you add baking powder / soda? I had great success using greek yogurt as my acidic enrichment last time I made biscuits. Sourdough starter is plenty slack, but you might want to augment the tartness with that.

Just threw a bbq party for at least 30 people last night. Woke up drunk and full, so I think that went well and there's reasonably little mess remaining in the kitchen and the bar. Also made BBQ sauce from scratch for the first time. I like the results. I will call it Whiskey Tangy Foxsauce

I had the guests cover the sides, so I could work as little as possible  Someone made pimiento cheese grits which was a great idea.Despite trying to kill my guests with pounds of memphis style bbq, I still have a fridge full of pulled pork. That poo poo feeds an army!

My party this weekend devolved into drunks eating miracle berry tabs and then devouring all the sour stuff in the house. Yeah, lemons and limes are great, yeah tamarind paste is awesome, but I got full off of slices of green tomato, mmmm.

All 50 states will be legal to brew in. And best of all since HB-9 is effective immediately, we'll still be in before Mississippi. Suck it, Mississippi.

GrAviTy84 posted:I feel like this is a golden business opportunity if you live in a big enough city. See, here is the bizarre part. We have several here. They just randomly get raided by the ABC board and their wares seized. Even though it has been a felony, it's been enforced in such a ticky-tack nonconsistent way that if you didn't know it was a felony you could easily assume it was fine to do so. I did let my brew shop know about the governor's signing like 2 hours after it happened, which was a funny moment lol.

mindphlux posted:I am not sure I understand what the One True Falafel is supposed to be like. I was talking about this to a friend the other day - I've had lots of falafel, and I have liked most of it - but I don't think I've ever had any falafel that just makes me go like 'woah, that's a loving good falafel, I could eat that 7x a week!' Best falafel I ever had was from this syrian expat guy years ago who ran a shop near my work. He'd comp me free tea and bullshit about Alabama football, and he served falafel that had the look (and mouthfeel) of southern skillet sausage. Crispy on the outside but meaty and supple within. The round ones are okay, but whatever he did to make his falafel, I have no idea what it was, but it owned.

My second cheddar was passed around to rave reviews around work. Creamier consistency, a little milder, but a lot better in almost every respect. The lower caving temperature helped a shitload. Now that I have an external thermostat, I should be able to park every cheese I make at a sweet spot.

I don't know the last bread that I made that didn't have depleted brewing grains mixed into the dough. It's been my favorite "waste not, want not" thing for the past few months at least. I probably need to start actually cooking again, rather than cooking lazy.

the42ndtourist posted:Really? Don't the grain husks bother you? When I tried that I couldn't get past the husks. Or do you grind your grain fine enough that the husks aren't so noticeable? Fiber, yo I mean I occasionally pick some husk from my teeth on a rare occasion but it's not much of a nuisance. I just try and knead flour only into a very firm dough before adding the grain so some gluten strands develop first. Very flavorful bread

Mr. Wiggles posted:Just had such a great southern dinner. Greens slow cooked all day, home made mac and cheese, liver and onions, iced tea. There is something deeply satisfying about eating that sort of food with the family around the table, the doors of the house all open, bluegrass on the radio, and light fading over the western mountains. Country life is the best life. I went to a barbecue cook off at one of our breweries last week and someone had collards going in a cauldron with some conecuh sausage as a side offering to their pulled pork. Their barbecue was completely forgettable but those greens were drat near some of the best I've ever tasted. Seasoned perfectly, cooked as al dente as I've ever had. I wish I skipped their BBQ entirely and got a second helping of collards oh man

Croatoan posted:The best part of greens that have been cooking all day is the pot likker. When I make my kale I prefer that over the actual greens, so good. I keep wanting to remember to reserve some the next time I do greens to add to a Bloody Mary mix. I bet it would be crazy good
