Craft beer and Jesus

http://www.jsonline.com/entertainment/beer/bible-and-a-brew-groups-get-together-to-talk-faith-over-a-pint-b99711177z1-377294401.html

Reminds me of the lyrics to a Paul Simon song that went something like, "Drinking craft beer and reading from the Bible...."

OK, maybe it was singing songs, but it is the same idea.

Everything goes better with craft beer.

Red Chair NWPA

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/63/55564/

I agree with the 96 world class rating.

I had it at the local Starbucks Evenings and it was excellent.

Brewer as Shaman

https://munchies.vice.com/en/articles/how-to-drink-hallucinogenic-beer-like-a-viking-shaman

I am inclined to skip the ergot, henbane, etc, and just go for the delicious craft beer.

Fatal Attraction

Fatal Attraction by Tyranena

Imperial Black IPA

Love the taste, but the 8.5% is too much alcohol.

Chainbreaker

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/63/68942/

Chainbreaker White IPA by Deschutes in Oregon.

Very good, I would compare it to a farmhouse ale.

Starbuck Evenings

Tonight, we attended opening night at Starbuck Evenings in Muskego.

I had the chicken sausage and mushroom flatbread, and the Deschutes Chainbreaker White IPA.

Both were excellent.

Makes we want to go again.

Pan Fried Pork Chops

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/pan-fried-pork-chops-recipe.html

I find pan fried pork chops technically demanding.

No one wants an over done pork chop, tough and dried out.

But I am paranoid about under done pork.

And with bone in chops, they tend to cook unevenly.

Very hard to get them just right.

Cellar Door

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22150/58523/

Cellar Door by Stillwater.

Farmhouse ale.

On tap at The Brass Tap in Greenfield, WI.

Excellent but a wee bit pricey at $8 for less than a pint.

Lite

Lite beer from Miller.

Spelled wrong because it is brewed wrong.

Carrot Cake for Two

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/carrot-cake-for-two.html

I could eat an entire carrot cake by myself, so I am not sure about the motivation to skimp on the amount of cake.

Sunny Spain

https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/sunny-spain-seasoning/c-24/p-281/pd-s

Instantly transmogrifies any chicken or fish into the lemon pepper equivalent.

Particularly good on chicken confit.

One of my favorites, and I use a lot of it.

Science Babe versus Food Babe, Part 2

http://www.scibabe.com/

The controversy continues.

Science Babe versus Food Babe, Part 1

http://gawker.com/the-food-babe-blogger-is-full-of-shit-1694902226

Since I am a huge fan of both food and science, it was inevitable that I would eventually encounter this.


Super Buttered Noodles

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/chicken-in-mustard-recipe.html

Want to try those super buttered noodles, even if I don't make the chicken.

Craft beer and burgers at Chipotle?

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2016/03/30/chipotle-open-better-burger-chain/82440378/

If Chipotle actually went to gourmet burgers and craft beer, then I would give them a try.

If not, I never have to eat at a Chipotle again.

Evenings at Starbucks

Evenings starts at the Muskego Starbucks April 12.

Craft beer and small plates.

Mark your calendar.

Siri, remind me....
