Beer and Pasties....

Good title, it gets your attention! 

Anyway, Greg and I  have been busy the last two days.  Yesterday and today altogether we made 20 pasties.  You know the meat pies that the Cornish miners would take to lunch back in the 1800's in the U P.  Yummy good pies.  Not good for those on low calorie diets as they weigh in at something like 1000 calories each, but they sure are good and convenient  when they are all in the freezer.  And they are also better then store convenience food.  Here is what the last four look like just before going to the freezer.





Then on to the beer.  Greg got beer making supplies for Christmas this year, so today he made up the "Goldfinger" honey wheat ingredients.  Right now they are sitting on our dinning room table "working"....

Tomorrow I will take a picture of it when it is all a foam and really working good!  Doesn't look too great right now, that sediment in the bottom is not real pretty either.  That would be the hops and some of the other ingredients settling out.

Winter is year is really, and I mean REALLY strange....NO snow!  We had a dump back in November, but that is all long gone and we  haven't seen much since.  Come on snow where are you?!

Been taking the dogs walking in the field the last four days.  Sure makes a difference in the evening.  Much less rough and tumble at TV time, more just chilling.  This is a good thing.

Christmas stuff is all put away and with this dumb weather I keep thinking I should bring out spring stuff, but our Winter has just started!  I need snow!

Until the next time....Onward and Upward.
