Take a Sip of Beer Now take a deep breath. Ignore the fascists on the right who project Nationalism while slowly picking away a ta fund for the people (can you say socialism for the 1% disguised as Nationalism?). Take a sip of beer. Why is there no modern counter-culture? I feel like listening to…

Coco Jesus Chocolate Bites
More GSC Last week, we made chocolate bars, a no-bake recipe, using Thin Mints. This week, we shall try our hands at a similar recipe with another Girl Scout cookie favorite. This week is all about the Samoa or Caramel Delights! The Samoa, along with the Thin Mints, are like the king and the queen…
Yeti Thin Mint Chocolate Bites
GSC Over a year and a half ago, I made some mint chocolate bars featuring Girl Scout Thin Mints and Oreos. I was amazed by how similar it tasted like a Girl Scout cookie. Sure it was lacking the crunch your get from the green box, but the smooth and creamy texture didn’t take away…
Basic Red Ale Beer Bread
There is something special about making a simple beer bread. Besides the ease of baking, I believe the aroma that comes from the beer bread is what delights me the most. Extremely yeasty and malty, beer breads give off the smell of a mini brewery working its magic in your kitchen. For a basic beer…
B-Bomb Cran-Apple Butter
Ignorance is Butter Up until I was around 22, I was unaware that apple butter didn’t contain butter. It is so savory in flavor that I just assumed that it must contain butter. I was bewildered to find out that it was simply sugar, spices, and apples (and possibly preservatives). Where does the savory flavors…
pFriem Squash Pie
Lets Talk About Pumpkin I am not the biggest fan of pumpkin beers, but I do indulge in them every year. My main concern, which I have ranted about in the past is that pumpkin is flavorless. It is merely a catalyst for what you really like which is sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. These flavors…
Reuben’s Pilsner Stuffing Beer Bread
High Fructose Corn Syrup in Stuffing Mixes I was in my local grocery store this past weekend gathering goods for Thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite holidays as it is an excuse for cooking, one of greatest activities in existence. I typically try to make everything from scratch if I can, but I recognize…
Hop Highway Andouille Corn Dog
Lets Steal It! Belching Beaver has been the craft beer big brother in my life. It hasn’t been around all too long but it feels like it has been around all my life. There stouts are the forefront of my desire towards the beaver with their hoppy IPAs and Me So Honey taking a back…
Smash Tempura Beer Batter
Beer Batter and Beer This week has been quite a busy one and haven’t been able to get a recipe out on my usual Tuesday schedule. Keeping on schedule is for well adjusted people anyways. The weekend, the time when internet usage drops off, is clearly the best time to post a new recipe. It…
Smoked Chipotle Beer Dip
More Smoke After making the w00tstout cupcakes last week, I realized that I needed more smoke in my life. Put smoke in all the things. Since I still had a little bit of w00tstout left in my life, why put it in my belly and turn it into pee when I can use the remaining…
