Founders Curmudgeon
Tried something a Founders Curmudgeon at Grumpy’s NE the other day. Founders is a small brewery from Grand Rapids, MI.
I liked it, it was very good, not as boozy as one would expect from a 9.8 ABV beer. Probably move on to something else next time.
CSA Week One
Just received our first shipment of our CSA. Green onions, broccoli rabe, turnips, red leaf lettuce, arugula, and a big ole’ head of bok choy.
It has been fun to cook with! We mixed the lettuce and arugula together for salad greens. Made some pasta our of sauteed bacon and Broccolini rabe. Tomorrow, bok choy with mushrooms and orange over rice. Or something. Fun!
Lessons Learned Today
El Chivo and La Cabra are two ways of saying goat, like bull and cow. So, the legendary Chupacabra prefers to suck the blood of female goats. Otherwise it would be Chupachivo.
I asked a Thai person I work with if they have chupcabra in in Thailand, she says she doesn’t think so.
Surly Schadenfreude
Our good friends at Surly have decided to do a Dunkel style lager. Had a pint of it at Victory 44 the other day, and thought it was good. Kinda reminds me of the Bells 1554. Would be great with a reuben sandwich or something like that. Very smooth.
