| Mike's Recipe, May 2012 - Burgers! | |
We had a pretty warm May here in upstate New York. Our deck isn't quite ready to go for the summer but we didn't let that stop us from grilling. Burgers are a point of some stress in our house. Heather is convinced that she can't make a good burger and I just don't understand it. A burger is my ultimate comfort food and I love eating them any time she makes them. Her hesitancy to do so always makes me sad. Sounds like a perfect candidate to add to my list of go-to meals.This wasn't the first time I've attempted to make burgers. I remember a time where I was cooking dinner for myself back in one of our first apartments. Heather wasn't home and I wanted to make two quick burgers.

| Second Trip - The Owl House | |
Back in November we went to The Owl House. We mentioned at the end of that post that we really wanted to bring my vegetarian sister back there over the holidays and we were able to do just that.Heather and I arrived early and got the opportunity to sit at the bar and get a drink. There is something so pleasant about sitting at a quaint bar like that while being served wonderful beer. We came straight from work so it was a nice quiet way to wind down from the day before dinner. I was able to get a Stone Vertical Epic 11.11.11. We have a bottle of both 10.10.10 and 11.11.11 in our basement aging but haven't tried either. Getting a chance to understand exactly what we were aging was a treat. It's a Belgian strong ale with a fruity finish, one of my absolute favorite styles of beer. Read more...
