Canning, Canning, Canning
CJ and I took a few days off to get the house in order, so in addition to painting, I've done some more canning.
Today, I made some Beer Mustard.
Take a bottle of beer.
Add a package of brown mustard seeds.
Bring them to a boil and let sit for a couple hours.
Then you put them in the food processor. It is supposed to break up the mustard seeds. It didn't, and I don't have a mortar and pestle. I think this may be a problem.
Put it all back in the pot and add some seasoning, vinegar, and cook down for awhile.
Then, of course, jar.
Quite honestly, it tasted disgusting going into the jars. I'm afraid it is going to be just as bad coming out.
Oh, and the cranberry mustard I made, same problems, it will probably all be thrown away.
I did make some tasty cranberries a couple days ago.
And I mixed up some muffins today for dessert. Num.
Carrot pumpkin muffins.

I found the black toad ale to have an odd vegetal taste to it. That could be why you were less than excited by the flavor.

If a distant cousin decided to give you a bridal shower on a winter Saturday afternoon what food and berverages would you like to see offered? I appreciate your thoughts.

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I like Mexican for groups. Maybe a ceviche, make your own tacos and beans. Margaritas and rum and cokes for everyone!
Or, how about bloody mary bar with classic "bar food." You could do chicken wings, potato skins, and quesadillas.
I'm a big fan of keeping it easy and make ahead. Since you won't know what everyone will like, keep it simple and something that can cater to vegetarians too.
Or Mimosas, bread, cheeses, meats, and spreads. My family had this the other day for brunch and it is one of my favorites.

Great ideas! I love the ease of made ahead trays, and the Mimosas add elegance. Thanks! smiller
