Local Beer Scene

Having  recently  relocated to the Indianapolis  area, i was missing   some of the great local beers that i had access to in Evansville.  (Tin Man and Carsons) 

I recently discovered Sunking.  So far i like the Sunlight Cream Ale. 

I need to shop more often in organic markets.

Fresh!

Kale chips. Meh

Love fried kale.  Found these tonight at Trader Joes.

Imho...they need salt...and to be deep fried.  Found in the small print. ...cold air dried.  I will not buy these again.   12 carbs per serving.   Why?  Because they add sugar.   1☆

He lives!

I have not have the opportunity for a few years to update this blog. But I'm back and I'm eating, normal and weird stuff. So stay tuned gentle readers.

"The tase of human flesh is not for everyone"

Is there anything that bacon can not make taste better?

"In a post apocalyptic world, condiments will be key"

Thanks to Chef Kerry for this helpful mealtime hint!

Worst Written Restaurant Review...evar?

"The tables were well stocked with condiments, the silverware and napkins were substantial, and the uniformed waitress was pleasant and attentive."

While I have always been a fan of 'substantial silverware", I can not say that I have ever rated a restaurant experience on it's flatware.

In all fairness, I should mention that this snippet is from a reader review and is not the writing of a professional journalist or "foodie".

I should also mention that the review was of the snack bar at the Shrinner's Hall. (The Red Fez)

Haute Cuisine?

Old School Seltzer

Those who know me know that two of my favorite things in life are public broadcasting (Yes, I am an NPR Nerd), and Seltzer Water.

I even own a few Seltzer makers. My favorite is the Sodastream.

The PBS series POV (Point of View) will debut a new episode, Seltzer Works, on Tuesday, Aug. 24 at 9 p.m. (check local listings.)

From the publicity materials:

“In the early 1900s, thousands of seltzer deliverymen crisscrossed the nation, shlepping heavy glass bottles full of fizzy water to millions of thirsty customers. Today, with only a handful of deliverymen left in the country, the siphon machines at Gomberg Seltzer Works don’t turn like they used to. Most of the old customers have passed on (or moved to Florida). But there are still bubbles being made by third-generation seltzer filler Kenny Gomberg. In the short documentary Seltzer Works, the last bottler in Brooklyn fends off the supermarket seltzer take-over and honors this simple drink’s place in history. “

For being a true devotee to the fizzy lifestyle, Kenny Gomberg I salute you.
