Just a couple of things for a beautiful San Diego Saturday….
It seems that the recent hot weather really helped our peppers.
For some reason; like last year the peppers aren't as "hot". Don't get me wrong, the ghost peppers were still pretty darn hot….but it wasn't anything like our first years. I thing there's some cross pollination going on with our Padron Peppers.
Speaking of Padron Peppers. A couple of times a week we get a pretty good haul….
Like everyone else in SoCal, we've been reducing our water usage….so far so good…drip hoses and such….it seems the okra don't really mind…..
And it seem we have cut our water consumption by 30% or so…. Our front lawn is taking a beating though….
Some stuff from the beer vault:
I won't bore you on descriptions and such….but here's a few more beer photos.
I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks that Stone is kinda just resting on their laurels?
As Tony Montana said….."Say Hello to My Little Friend"…..
A few weeks back, I went into the back yard to check things out before heading off to bed. I noticed this hard working little fellow….building what seemed to be the world's most ambitious web. Since then, I'd check every night to see if the spider was out there spinning his web. If I saw a work in progress, I'd grab a beer from the fridge and just sit and watch…..
Sort of like the "fish tank effect" I guess….. Impressive work ethic…. I'll enjoy it for as long as he's around.
The Missus's favorite cheese:
I've never really posted on it before…it's been something we've kind of enjoyed inhouse. But we do love our cheese. We usually have a variety on hand, 5-6 for a light nice spring-summer-fall meal. Anyway, the current favorite of the Missus who enjoys a fairly ripe cheese is the Harbison by Jasper Hill Farm.
The flavor is pretty ripe. And it's quite unique in terms of cheeses we've had in that's it is wrapped in strips of spruce.
Bread is a must and it's quite good with a nice "sour"…….
I hope you're enjoying the weekend!
