How I spent my Sunday Afternoon
I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. We went to a show at the Lakeshore Theater watching a lineup of some comedy music trio whose name escapes me, Hannibal Burress, Daniel Kinno, and Dan Levy. The show was great, but there were a few assholes in the audience who seem to think stand-up comedy is an interactive, audience-participation gig.
It’s not. Trust me. Unless the comic asks you a question, keep your mouth shut and laugh at the funny stuff. It guarantees a good time for all.
But I digress. The comics were good, the show was good, but the end result is that we didn’t get home until 1:30 or so, which means I didn’t actually hit the pillow until 3. Yet, somehow, I still was up before 10 AM. Sigh.
So, instead of the traditional breakfast I tend to make for Tisha and I (a wicked egg & fake sausage scramble that rocks), we tried some Pancakes-In-A-Can.
It wasn’t bad. Certainly little clean-up, but it took awhile to get the hang of making pancakes the right size. I’ll probably try them in the little waffle-maker thingy my brother gave me for Christmas a couple of years back and see how it does in there.
Wow, okay, it’s taking me a long time to cut to the chase, so I guess I’ll just cut to the chase.
Instead of working in the back yard as planned, it was hot and I was tired, so I took a nap and decided to work on the bar area of the house this afternoon.
Yesterday, I picked up my kegs — Belhaven Scottish Ale for the nitrogen tap and Unibroue Maudite for my smaller fridge. This afternoon, I did the Tap-The-Keg dance, which means a lot of sanitation to make sure all the components are microbe-free, then hooking everything up. Took a while, but was totally worth it.
The Maudite’s still a bit foamy, but the Belhaven is glorious. Until I can get a keg of Kilkenny flowing (note the mirror above the taps), the Belhaven is a welcome addition to the bar.
And now, I’ll rest up a bit, enjoy a pint or two, and finish cleaning the bar area.
Adieu.
