My Mom and Dad came up to visit on Saturday, so I made lunch/dinner (linner? lupper?). Beer (our just-bottled Hefeweisen) and onion-braised brisket, smashed potatoes, green beans, and some defrosted multigrain bread.
Dessert was lemon-yogurt cake with berry sauce and whipped cream and chocolate-covered strawberries that my mom and I made. I’ve made that cake before and thought it was great, but it turned out a little tough this time. Not sure why, so I’ll probably give the recipe another try before I throw it out.
And it was delicious!
Good luck today
Where’s the beer?
Not quite ready yet. We noticed with the Honey Brown that it really needed to condition for 2-3 weeks in the bottle for optimal flavor, but Brooke cracked a few open for food-making purposes early. We’ll be at 2 weeks this coming weekend and will probably open a few then for drinking.
That said, I think they tasted surprisingly good! They had some good carbonation and reasonable flavor, despite the fact that I diluted them a touch too far early in the process…
I’ll also have to tell my Dad that even Rich reads our blog, so maybe he should, too!
Not likely to happen. But I read it to him 🙂
