For the last time I’m back to continue the month-long series on homebrewing in honor of National Homebrew Day which was May 7th.  In previous posts we performed the actual brewing, and then after allowing the beer to complete its primary fermentation we transferred to to a secondary fermentation vessel to clean up after itself [...]

Starting the week on a non food related post (cue gasps of horror) I saw this piece in the Times about how Austin made the writer love America. Some more lawsuits this week. Austin’s own Hey Cupcake had a disagreement with an Indiana bakery, and Hershey’s think a pan sold by Williams-Sonoma is too much [...]

Last week in Time For Tea I mentioned making lemon sugar cookies to garnish the cupcakes with. I’ve made various lemon cookies before, but I was looking for something a little different this time.

And I’m back, continuing the month-long series on homebrewing in honor of National Homebrew Day which was May 7th.  This is also American Craft Beer Week, so get out there and support the small and independent craft brewers that are bringing tradition, quality and passion back to an industry that got hijacked by gargantuan-batch manufacturers [...]

We found a new news site this week, we’ll be following Nation’s Restaurant News now in a bid to stay up to date. We have an article from them already, on the lettuce recall over E.Coli fears. SlashFood also had a piece on the recall. CNN had a piece on the USDA setting new standards [...]

Lived a ma-a-an, Who sailed to sea And he told us of his life, In the la-a-and of submarines We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine…. I’ll save you the rest of the song, I’m sure we all know how it goes. I remember being taught it in primary school… It [...]
