Anyone like any of the 3 Floyds brands? They're local... so I should like them, but I have yet to try one that really gets me. Goose Island on the other hand. Yummers.

If you like Bud Light and want to "graduate" into the wide world of beer, start trying some wheat beers like Julius Echter, Franziskaner Weiss, or Hoegarrden. They have a bigger flavor, but not as abrupt as the darker range.

I'd say a bruise of that size, especially if swollen, would be a bit tender to the touch. Does it itch at all?

Second question With the proper use of those vents and the "coal cages" that come with the grill, allowing me to separate the coals to each side of the grill, can I effectively turn the grill into a smoker?

So for my birthday/christmas my wife got me a Weber Performance. I've been having fun grilling with direct heat, but I want to "graduate" to some suitably manly BBQ accomplishments. So help cure me of my rookyness. There is a vent on both the top and bottom of the grill that can each be...

Hey folks! I'm a late-comer to this thread, but I LOVE beer. Spent the first half of my life despising it, and I'll spend the rest of my life relishing it. My favorite brewery is Unibrou out of Canada. They have a great variety of exceptional beers across the whole spectrum. If you like a...

I know how you feel being both a Labatt and Molson fan. Both absolutely iconic Canadian beer companies. Now just iconic "a little Canadian" companies.

Thats Walmart for you. Destroying the art in everything in the name of mass distribution. Probably have imitation unicorn horn handles too.

She and the neighbors like it, but I'm always looking to improve. "Hey you know what would go well with that? _________" That kinda thing. :)

Please forgive my ignorance. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying. What does "pinching back" mean? Does bushy = "wide diameter" and leggy = "tall and narrow"? Sorry, I'm a bit more mathy in my approach to things. :S Well, we bought a big old bag of soft black soil to put them in. What...

What is Thor's hammer, Mjolner, but a dried sponge at the end of an old stick, when compared to the greatness of my pearing knife?

Blocked by wall. Back yard looks like this (pipes indicating walls, slashes indicates shade zone): |\/| (first half of the day, the house wall creates shade. Late afternoon its getting some sun, but its not as intense as that bright morning sun. There's a narrow walkway that gets a pretty...

I only have a few standards for the steel I use in the kitchen. That the iron be mined from an untouched vein of ore under the precise point of earth's magnetic north. Forged in the heat of flowing magma from the earth's core by the hand of Hatori Hanzo himself.... folded and beaten into...

Its all in the GUAC BEST BUD's GUACAMOLE - Two avocados - a quarter of a red onion chopped fine - a tomato chopped until its basically mush - one Serrano pepper chopped super super fine - a handful of fresh cilantro chopped super fine - one lime's worth of squeezed lime juice I like chopping...

Ok... STOOPIT rookie question: How much salt? Like 1/4 teaspoonish? A few good shakes of the shaker? As for brining, I guess thats where my inexperience comes in. I figured brining was to keep the meat juicy and tender where as marinade was to soak in flavor. I'm totally up for a quick...

The strangest thing we have is a smell that comes from the top shelf of one of our cupboards. We've never put anything there, nor on the one below it just to be safe.

Cool hobby! What would you say is your most satisfying find?

Thanks for the tip Uncle Bob. I considered doing this, but I wasn't sure if the flavor would permeate the chicken as much. I guess the sauce on the chicken would be just as strong as the chicken "marinating" in the sauce for a couple hours and then grilling?

Definitely, but that recipe is for me and my buddies. :) No need to apologize either. I'm here to learn, and have little enough training or experience in this whole cooking thing.

Actually this one is for me when we're grilling together, or when the boys come over for beers. I make the rosemary/garlic/apple-cider-vinegar recipe for my wife.

Chicago. I guess it would have been smart for me to remember what variety of tomatoe we got... so I'll have to ask my lovely wife tonight. I believe it was the "heartland" variety. The lady at the greenhouse told us basically the same. The lettuce is going to be "done" before the tomatoes...

Do you mean as a replacement to the apple cider vinegar or in addition to? I believe balsamic vinegar is on her "no-no" list. :( She's not strictly candida, but she's got to stay away from sugars, gluttens, and yiest.

Whatcha think #2: Honey-BBQ Grilled Chicken Couldn't find any BBQ sauce recipes that I could make with what I had available, so I raided the fridge and the pantry figuring the worst I could do is make something horrible that killed us with saminella. :rolleyes: STUFF: - A full chicken breast...

There was a time when I wouldn't be caught dead in a kitchen without a recipe, laboratory grade measurement gear, obsessive compulsive disorder, and a backup plan. But lately I've been doing a lot more "lets throw some of that in and see what happens". Lamentably, I didn't listen enough to mom...

Bacon makes everything better!
