What the fuck? I believe this is an adequate statement to start a recipe after months of silence. It seems a lot is happening in California that made craft beer take a back seat. Marxists, fascists, and fires are but a few reasons, but the most important reason of all is that bakers are struggling…

Stone Xocoveza Xoco Bites
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…

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…

Kamakura Daibutsu Kushikatsu Beer Batter
The Small Town in Kanagawa As I neared the last of my savings, I though to myself that I should play life loose. Rather than take that money and use it for an extra month of rent, I decided to use the money to go to the greatest place on Earth. Traveling to Japan is…
