This time was different. No sooner than I had the question out of my mouth, she was rattling off a list of ingredients ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/36 In my defense, this was a rushed job. I was making a curry dish, but I didn't have a cool beer to match it with. I hit Whole Foods on my way home from work to find something. I was thinking IPA, as it would hold up well to all ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/34 Is it just me, or does Winter really suck the big one? I hate being cold. I hate being deprived of my precious daylight. I hate jackets. Dead leaves? Yeah, real uplifting. I've found that there are only a couple of lines of defense from the Winter Blues. Booze and ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/33 Armed with a bunch of sweet potatoes from the Johnson's Backyard Garden, a new Kitchenaid mixer and an undying desire to make gnocchi for the first time, I set out this weekend to make that dream a reality. Lydia would be so proud. She makes it look so easy! What's ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/32 Very exciting news in Austin last night. No, we weren't visited by little green men from outer space, but we did get a new swanky beer bar.

Hmm, I think I actually feel a little better now. Given that my sense of taste and smell is completely shot at the moment, ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/30 I must admit, the doppelbock is not a style that I've had much experience with. I've been a fan of some of the other members of the bock family though, so I was excited to learn more. I thought that rather than going over one particular beer with a fine ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/29 It's that time of year again. Time to make those lists of resolutions, clean house and get ready for what will hopefully be a great new year. For me, this time of year also means that it's time to make a big pot of black eyed peas to eat for ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/28 Coffee and beer. Two of my favorite beverages. Combine them, and I'm in heaven. That's exactly what those west coast hipsters over at Lagunitas did with their Cappuccino Stout. I was at The Whip In a few weeks ago getting stocked up on Doppelbocks for January's edition of The Session, ... http://www.kegsandkitchen.com/archives/27 Well, I thought I better pull myself out of the holiday stupor and update the blog. I started a new tradition this year which was a Christmas breakfast consisting of crepes and latkes. I've always really liked eating crepes, but hadn't tried making them before.
