Road Warrior

On tap at the Bosch in Hales Corners.

Excellent, but with so many good local beers, why do they get their beer all the way from California?

Apple & Onion Jam

http://www.spoon.com/savories/relishes-condiments/apple-onion-jam.html

Very flavorful.

I had it on boneless, skinless chicken breast and it was excellent.

Apricot Hot Sauce

http://www.spoon.com/savories/grilling-sauces/apricot-hot-sauce.html

Best hot sauce I ever ate, not the hottest, but the most flavorful.

This is not one of those "burn your mouth with no flavor" sauces that everyone and their brother has.

Features the rich flavors of apricot, ginger, and lime.

Bobby's BBQ Sauce

Sweet and smoky?

Bartolotta BBQ

We visited Miss Beverly's Deluxe Barbecue today.

High quality, modest portion sizes, and not cheap.

It is going to be interesting to see how they do.

Stone Creek Coffee

We went to the Tosa location this morning.

Excellent coffee and very good pastries.

Spicy Tomato and Dill Soup

http://www.opensourcefood.com/people/globebug/recipes/spicy-tomato-dill-soup

We bought some soup by that name at the Tosa farmers market, it was very good.

This recipe looks simple enough, maybe I should try to make my own.

Intestinal Gas

http://www.nanps.org/index.php/gardening/native-plants-to-know/124-camassia-quamash-blue-camas-6-1

When eaten raw or only partially cooked, the plants can produce substantial amounts of intestinal gas, as Captain Lewis eloquently noted: “…when in the Indian hut I was almost blown out by the strength of the wind.”

Excellent quote.
