    Speaking of favorite beverages, I’ve noticed over the years how one’s tastes change:

    AGE DRINK
    17 Beer (hot or cold, doesn’t matter)
    21 Wine Coolers
    25 White wine
    35 Red wine
    48 Dom Perignon
    66 Shot of Jack with Powerade chaser

    My tastes are pretty consistent with respect to time:

    AGE DRINK
    17 Beer – whichever is cheapest
    21 Beer – whichever is cheapest
    25 Beer – quality is beginning to be a factor
    35 Beer – life is way too short to drink cheap, lowest common denominator beer
    48 TBD, but I’m pretty sure it will still be good beer
    66 TBD, but I’m pretty sure it will be only excellent beer

    I’ve come to the conclusion that barley is the noblest of the grains. It is the fruit from which both beer and Scotch spring.

    I stopped drinking cheap beer a loooooooong time ago. I find it both funny and sad that most seem to think Shiner Bock is really out there as far as a unique taste experience goes. While it’s better than most of the mass-market beers, it’s only one small step away. I tend to gravitate toward St. Arnold these days, especially their Elissa, since I can usually get it at the grocery stores around here. If I’m near Spec’s, I’ll typically get some Red Hook or Rogue.

    I can’t remember the last time I actually bought a bottle of blended Scotch.

    Shiner does make some top-notch beers, but their bock isn’t one of them. Their hefeweizen is really good as American wheat beers go, but IMHO the best thing they brew is the schwarzbier (Shiner Black). The Black is very true to the style – unlike their bock.

    And yup, I agree that St. A is great stuff. My favorite is the Christmas Ale – it’s brewed in the style of an English old ale. I have a few cases at home to carry me into 2011! I think the next time I brew I’m going to do the St. Almost Brown Ale recipe from Defalco’s.

    I found it hard to believe that was published in any woman’s magazine as recently as 1955. So of course I hit snopes.com, which ruled it Undetermined that this article was ever published in a magazine or in a HomeEc textbook. Snpopes says the email itself was fabricated with the illustration from a known source.

    #10, 11: If you have a hankerin for the dark ales, (my favorite) try the New Belgium Brewery 1556 Trappist Ale. This particular beer is perhaps one of the finest examples of the Brewer’s Art in North America. You can get it at Spec’s for about $6-7/sixer.

    Bonemeister,

    Our humble host Hamous (nice alliteration, eh?) is into those “monk” beers. I try hard to like them because I know most beer geeks do, but to be honest, it’s just not my favorite style. Heresy, I know. It’s kinda like barley wines to me though. I know a lot of beer geeks go gaga over them but I just can’t make myself like them all that much. To each his own though.

    I remember when Bock -was- out there as a unique beer. It pretty much started the micro brew era and is a sentimental favorite for that reason. The St Arnolds guy was still home brewing in his Rice dorm room at the time. Rolling Rock was one of the few other choices and somebody should still hang for that crime.

    Shiner survived as a cheap beer for years. Ten bucks would buy a case and the bag of ice. College students kept that label afloat and now they don’t make the original anymore. I miss the old stubbie bottles.

    Oh, and Hamous’ blogmare ends in a few hours.

    Can’t attest to this personally (I was only ~10 yrs old at the time) but I understand that PBR malt extract was the main ingredient most homebrewers used when the hobby was still in its infancy in America. We’ve come a long way baby.

    I do partial mashes, because I don’t really have a proper setup to do a decent sparge. I intend to remedy that fairly soon though – they’ve got some really nice SS brew kettles out there with false bottoms, thermometer and valve built in. They’re expensive though, which is why I haven’t made the investment yet, especially given that I hadn’t really brewed for a few years – until late 2010 that is.

    The theory here holds at least as much water as “Sarah Palin did it.”

    And perhaps a bit more.

    Time had a good summary of the expert view in an article published in July 2010.

    Marie-Odile Krebs, professor of psychiatry at the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) laboratory in France, and her colleagues published a study in June that identified two broad groups of people with schizophrenia who used cannabis: those whose disease was profoundly affected by their drug use and those who were not.

    Within Krebs’s study population of 190 patients (121 of whom had used cannabis), researchers found a subgroup of 44 whose disease was powerfully affected by the drug. These patients either developed schizophrenia within a month of beginning to smoke pot or saw their existing psychosis severely exacerbated with each successive exposure to the drug. Schizophrenia appeared in these patients nearly three years earlier than in other marijuana-users with the disease.

    After the Tucson shooting, there may be renewed pressure to control the weapons that committed the crime. But what about the drugs that may have aggravated the killer’s mental disease? The trend these days seems toward a more casual attitude and easier access to those drugs. Among the things we should be discussing in the aftermath of this horror is the accumulating evidence of those drugs’ potential contribution to making some dangerous people even more dangerous than they might otherwise have been.

    Man, I ate too much last night. We barbecued, and I cooked the sweet potato dish that my assistant brought after Thanksgiving (she gave me the recipe from her aunt). Those are the best sweet taters I’ve ever wrapped my lips around – crunchy topping, not too sweet. The ribs were very tender and delicious. We left the brisket on the pit to finish cooking. I washed dishes after dinner, put the brisket in the oven to finish cooking since the pit was cooling down. Hubby fell asleep around 8:30, I removed the meat from the oven around 9:30. I let it cool for a while before cutting it up to put in the frig.

    What do you get when you cross cutting a brisket with hubby’s nap time?

    Pyro and Dude: Back in the day I was almost always did whole grain brews. To mash I used an ice chest (igloo or whatever as long as it had a drain plug in the end, not middle), a strainer with a handle and several 5 gallon buckets. I still have my 20 GALLON stainless steel stock pot but it has no valve. I could only manage about 15 gallons at a time as it was a dangerous beyotch to try to dump the wort thru a funnel into the 7 gallon glass carbouys. Heavy, dark, hoppy and high alcohol were usually the end result. Generally speaking they needed to mellow in the secondary for at least a month before bottling or kegging and then another month before they started to be fit to drink. I did an imperial stout once that took a year in the keg before it was good – oh but man was it good then.

    crazy aunt from last night –

    Yeppers, and I hear the Daily Kos (which I pronounce cha-os, not “cause” or “kose”), was scrubbing its site from some pretty aggressive comments.

    Seems “BoyBlue”, the author of the post you were referring to had an apology out yesterday morning. In it he claims that he was the one who erased the post because it is now in poor taste. He starts:

    Most of you know by now my diary bemoaning Rep. Giffords’ voting against Nancy Pelosi has been taken by the far right to preemptively protect themselves when it is inevitably found out that the perps against Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords are tied to the far right and even perhaps (not saying this definitively) to the Jesse Kelly campaign or simply some of his disgruntled sour grapes supporters.

    I guess he hadn’t read all the news reports, etc. saying pretty much the opposite of what he in saying that were available by mid-afternoon on Saturday. It also looks like he might be homeless soon:

    I would bet my house that it will come out that some disgruntled former Jesse Kelly rightwing supporters did this. Most of you have no idea just what kind of far rightwing nut Jesse Kelly is and just how crazed, not unlike Nazis, his supporters were.

    He still can’t seem to shake his habit of hate speech, even while apologizing to the Kos Kiddies for his previous post saying something fairly similar.

    After stating a three point apology, our correspondent adds:

    However, I HAVE to offer a heartfelt “[intimate sexual relations] you” to the right wing blogs AND the New York Times’ Matt Bai, for even mentioning my username here in ANY connection to that unspeakable and unthinkable horror. If my real name ever gets out there because of a simple diary posted here three days ago, I shall sue for defamation. Libel, to be specific.

    He’s upset that someone found what he said and took his words at face value. Not sure exactly what would be defamatory or libelous about reporting simple facts, but he is a true lefty.

    Some people will never get it.

    He still can’t seem to shake his habit of hate speech, even while apologizing to the Kos Kiddies for his previous post saying something fairly similar.
    After stating a three point apology, our correspondent adds:

    However, I HAVE to offer a heartfelt “[intimate sexual relations] you” to the right wing blogs AND the New York Times’ Matt Bai, for even mentioning my username here in ANY connection to that unspeakable and unthinkable horror. If my real name ever gets out there because of a simple diary posted here three days ago, I shall sue for defamation. Libel, to be specific.

    He’s upset that someone found what he said and took his words at face value. Not sure exactly what would be defamatory or libelous about reporting simple facts, but he is a true lefty.
    Some people will never get it.

    Hammy – your comment reminds me of a moment I had in high school….(wavy image coming into focus, dreamy music fades in and out)…

    I was sitting at the cafeteria table with three friends (yes, I had friends!) at lunch time. One of the guys had just sat down with his burger, on which he had ordered mustard, no mayo. I was in a good mood, I suppose, for when he opened his burger and asked out loud “Is that mayonnaise?” I answered “No, it’s not!”

    What they heard: “No, it’s not!”
    What I heard: “No, its snot!”

    And the comparison of mayonnaise and snot in conjunction with his hamburger simply sent me off the deep end. I laughed loudly, I laughed long. I could see the tip of my nose jump and twitch, which made me laugh more. I must have gone on for ten minutes while my friends looked at me as if I had lost my mind. I finally had to quit laughing when the pain in my cheeks and behind my ears overcame my hilarity.

    Ah, yes, my mayo moment of madness. Good times.

    Yep.

    There’s a lot of that “my guy is good because his opponents are crazy” stuff out there.

    And it will continue as long as one side lets thier own side get away with it.

    Once both sides start holding those on thier own side accountable for this kind of “despicable” characterization of the people with whom they disagree as being racist, crazy, or stupid, the it will stop and we’ll all be the better for it.

    An added benefit willbe that it will keep folks on the other side from being able to link to a website on our side as eveidence of “See, even folks who support them think they’re crazy.”

    Dem bill to outlaw threatening lawmakers.

    Questions:
    1) Do they mean that threatening lawmkers, aka Harry “Eat this bill” Reid, or Nancy “Peons aren’t real people” Pelosi will be out on their ears? OR
    2) Do they mean that menacing speech against lawmakers will result in punishment? Does this mean that Alec Baldwin would be imprisoned for suggesting that Henry Hyde and his family be stoned during the Clinton era? OR
    3) Is this just an excuse to remove our guns and words?

    Nutritionally, mayo has no redeeming qualities. In fact unless one has a medical need for a very high fat diet, it is wise to eliminate or minimize it from ones menu. There are far better, better tasting, and less slimy sources for fat.

    In all fairness, mayo does have its uses. Administer 5 ccs rectally, and you have a sure fire cure for constipation.

    That just goes to show you what is fundamentally wrong with this country. You mayonnaise haters are tearing down the institutions that made this country great. If they outlawed mayo then 99% of the delis in New York City and the United States would be reduced to the status of the Chicago speak easys during prohibition. Black market for Mayo would flourish and the cost would sour. Our courts would be packed with regular people turned into criminals all because of an innocent condiment. I hope you fail.

    Don’t get me wrong. I’m not suggesting mayonnaise be outlawed. If’n y’all wanna let that slimy stuff gum up yer tongue go for it. I am suggesting the death penalty for anyone that puts mayo on my hamburger after I clearly state “No mayonnaise!” Once the bun has been soiled you can’t scrape that scum off.

    Actually I’m not big on most condiments. I routinely have to throw out ketchup. I buy mayo for guests. ‘Bout all I use is picante, Louisiana hot sauce, Sport pepper sauce (can’t eat greens without it), and a myriad of other hot sauces. Hmmm. Looks like the common theme is hot.

    * All mayo is evil, regardless of where it’s made.
    * I cannot attest to the evils of Hollandaise sauce as I have never tasted it.
    * Ketchup goes on meat loaf. Mustard goes on a hot dog.

    1. Mayo is NOT evil (well, maybe the store bought stuff, a little). Some fresh egg yolks, good olive oil, a little lemon juice, salt and pepper – it doesn’t get any better. Add a little fresh garlic (or roasted garlic – even better) and you have aioli. Substitute butter for the olive oil and you have Hollandaise sauce; add some tarragon and a little white wine to hollandaise and you have Bernaise sauce – which goes perfectly on top of a New York strip.

    2. If you don’t want eggs Benedict (by the way the name probably comes from Benedictine monks who invented the dish in France in the middle ages) Hollandaise is wonderful on grilled Asparagus and almost any fish.

    3. I prefer barbecue sauce on top of meatloaf – but you are correct, only a Philistine, or a Yankee, would put ketchup on a hot dog. A good spicy mustard is the way to go.

    4. Chili with beans is an evil corruption that indicates just how far our society has declined. You might as well add a little cinnamon and pour it on top of spaghetti……

    I love the HEB Southwest sauce. I pick one up about every 2nd or 3rd visit, whether I need it or not. I can’t always find it – I guess it sells out. Great as a marinade, on eggs, etc. I find a little goes a long way, but it’s delicious.

    Chili with beans is an evil corruption that indicates just how far our society has declined.

    Chili, by definition, contains beans. The proper nomenclature for that stuff without beans is “hotdog sauce”.

    Good afternooon all. Brisk 39 at 6:30 this morning, overcast, dampish. Still overcast but temp made it to 45. Prediction for sun this afternoon begins to look less likely.

    As for the somewhat far-ranging discussion of food condiments, wow. Anyone besides me had the delight of using cranberry mustard? I get it from Wisconsin, from a winery near Madison. Friends love it and look forward to receiving a jar at Christmas. We buy it by the case. It is tangy but not strong and is great on ham, turkey, cheese, and eggs. At least that’s all we’ve tried it on.

    Now as to pommes and French fries: pommes is the French word for apples. Pommes de terre are potatoes. Pommes de terre frites are French fries. Surely the Belgians know enough French to get it right.

    When I was in college, a group of people went around writing “smegma” (and various smegma-related commentary) on campus sidewalks in chalk. It went on for a couple/few weeks, I guess until an administrator looked it up in a dictionary.

    Threats were issued against the eeeeeeeeeevil perpetrators of those heinous acts and they stopped.

    #101 Dude42:
    Au contraire my deluded friend:

    Chili con carne (often known simply as chili) is a spicy stew. The name “chili con carne” is taken from Spanish, and means “peppers with meat.” Traditional versions are made, minimally, from chili peppers, garlic, onions, and cumin, along with chopped or ground beef.

    Once you add beans, then you’ve stepped onto a slippery slope which leads to cinnamon, noodles, bell peppers and all manner of twisted yankee perversity. If you absolutely MUST have beans, cook them separately and serve them on the side with other condiments.
    BTW – your use of the term “hot dog sauce” indicates the unfortunate probability that you were raised north of Dallas. Not your fault, of course, but still – it’s something that you want to keep to yourself if possible. In Texas we put chili on hot dogs, in which case they become chili dogs.

    Continuing our delve into the taxonomy and history of the lowly mullet, and keeping in mind that a day is wasted if you don’t learn something new…

    Rhaphanidosis is the act of inserting a radish into the anus. It is reported to have been a punishment for adultery in ancient Athens of the 5th and 4th centuries BC. There is some doubt as to whether the punishment was ever enforced or whether the references to it in comic plays (such as the debate between Right and Wrong in The Clouds of Aristophanes) should be understood as signifying public humiliation in general.

    In order to be allowed to apply rhaphanidosis to an adulteror, one must catch the man in the act of adultery with one’s own wife, in one’s own house. Rhaphanidosis was not the only penalty available however; sodomy by mulletfish was common as well, or the man could simply be killed on the spot. Following this, the adulterous wife would have to be divorced.

    Every condiment has its place. Here lately I like mayo, ketchup, & mustard on a hamburger and mustard & onions on the hot dogs. You have to be careful with the burger though and not add too much otherwise the buns just slip & slide all over the place. Then you have to finish your burger with a fork.
    I have had to resort to eating my fries with either mayo or ketchup over here. The ketchup is just too sweet. The mustard has horseradish and I enjoy the kick. I throw in the mayo for variety.
    I did not figure out during our vacation to Belgium why there was an eatery selling pomme frites on every street corner. On the other hand, there was no need to ask why every eatery had a fully stocked bar and a gazillion beers on tap. How else could you order a beer with breakfast? I personally did not do this, but I witnessed several people do this though.

    The HEB grocery on I-10 at Bunker hill has USDA Prime New York Strips – cut about 1 1/2 inches thick. They’re about 20 oz each.

    Just picked up 2 for dinner plus a couple of baking potatoes. Gonna whip up a little Bernaise sauce with black and green peppercorns to go on top, a little caesar salad and a bottle of Stags Leap Cabernet (2003). Life is indeed good!

    1. I guess we know how Urban Meyer plans on making a living now.
    2. Is it just me or does the suit Desmond Howard is wearing tonight make him look like Harpo from The Color Purple?
    3. SEC will make it 7-0 in BCS National Championships.

    This is especially true of the third bullet point: “Be a little gay and interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.” She may take that totally the wrong way and punch me really hard.

    Working at Wendy’s during my high school years (yes, I still eat there and love the food) my favorite sandwich to prepare after work hours was a chicken sandwich and it had to have extra bacon and extra mayo. The mayonaise alone made me relish (no pun to hot dogs intended) the moment but the key was to make it fresh and hot. That way all that yummy greese would ooze down to my stomach. My taste buds became forever grateful for my intuition, including the mayo.

    Once I went on a road trip just to see the sights to Estes Park, and then back down through New Mexico in the mountains before heading back east to civilization. It was late fall, and cold up there, and I wanted chili and eggs for breakfast every morning, but at all of the places we stopped, the waitress would look at me funny and say “what?” We stayed in Santa Fe (NM) and the next morning I ordered my “chili and eggs, please.” The waitress simply responded “red” or “green,” and I knew right then they would have a hard time getting me to leave Santa Fe.

Anyhoo, kids were busy this weekend and it’s been cold and dreary soooo……..umm……I’ve been slumming at liberal websites this weekend. I’m the stick that stirred up the ant pile.
