indeed amaze amaze amaze

They did a great adaptation of the book

That’s two for two from Andy Weir

I should finally have some time to brew over the Easter Break - four days off in NZ. Should brew my rice lager (or rice Kölsch as that is the yeast I’ll use) but the love of my life is calling and I’ll brew the Pilsner Urquell clone and a Polotmavý. A triple and a double decoction but so worth it.

Vacuum packs of hops in a stainless steel bowl

1.4kg wet Perle hops becomes 351g dried. Vacuum packed and going into the freezer. Destined for Helles, a Dortmunder Export and maybe a Scwharzbier and/or a Rauchbier.

When the rest of the world can’t get any oil or natural gas, when rationing begins - do you thing they will blame Iran or the 🍊💩?

So there won’t be an other Iran hostage crisis because Iran can just execute any US military they capture?

Gorgeous!

I’m finishing my evening here in NZ with a small pour of Śljivovica from Bosnia-Herzegovina

Nice!!!

Finnish roulette

Not to mention those regions are conflict-prone often/largely because of oil

That purple hue was the same creepy feeling as the green/yellow diffuse sky that meant “tornado!” where I grew up.

We had a very funky purple sky for a while.

Pig farms and tanneries probably the worst I’ve ever driven past

Hey mom, look at our big feet

Jarrett, Mclaughlin, Shorter, Corea, Zawinul, Hancock were gone pursuing other projects; Miles' crazy "Free Radical" period, where the albums were often live ones, is overlooked. Here are a pair of concert snatches from that period to act as your Tuesday Brekkie Tunes

Koenji? noooooo

I lived on the Sōbu line and I reveled in the scruffiness

Remnants of Shōwa continue to be erased.

But then again I first lived near ChitoseFunabashi station on the Okdakyu line and it was one of the last to give up the manual ticket clipping. Ah the old days.

Makes as much sense as a kid asking to be grounded.

even insurance or liability reasons wouldn’t pass muster of JetBlue are requesting the grounding

This will be interesting to find out what’s going on

Lots of weather in one day

When did Yurakucho become so tidy? (Been more than a few years since I’ve had a chance to wander there)

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

I love the calls of loons. And I guess I haven’t watched enough movies with spooky scenes to associate the sound with spookiness. To me it is simple peacefulness and tranquility. Makes me want to re-reread Sigurd Olson’s books all of a sudden.

Odd. Not sure why Google Translate link doesn’t actually work. Anyways, all I did was give the original URL to translate.google.com

Mono cultures are never good. Replanting entire mountains with one kind of vicious tree is a crime.

If this translation is anywhere close it is an article that completely speaks truth and says so much that all of us are thinking yet most press are not willing to publish.

Absolutely delectable. Mouth watering as I type.

I remember seeing a YouTube video of some aunty make arepas. Wish I had the bookmark. She definitely had this technique moving the pad of dough between her hands before putting on a very large iron pan/comal.

Didn’t know they would like hops. Goats I wouldn’t even trust around aluminum cans, but I thought sheep might be a bit more picky.

Well I wonder what sheep meat tastes like if they are living on hops. Spanish pigs taste pretty nice from the acorns.

20L bucket nearly full of hops

1.4kg of Perle hops. The EKG dried enough in the dehydrator but I don’t even have enough racks to dry this many hops at one time. On a board for now and will rotate onto racks. Need to build frames with screen.

Or do they not go from fluffy to dino and then finally bird?
