And One Duvel - Belgian Golden Ale Bottle (8.5%)
Duvel Belgian Golden Ale Review
Belgian ales come in many varieties, but Duvel, or the "Devil" as the locals call it, ranks highly among the best. This hazy gold liquid poured smoothly with the most beautiful creamy white head, reminding me of a whipped meringue topping. The sweet candy sugar smell deceivingly masks the potent 8.5% alcohol waiting to warm the belly.
Belgian trappist breweries are known for high alcohol content elixers, especially the well-known trippels. Golden Ales are similar to Belgian trippels but usually are a little more crisp and usually drier.
Duvel presents a floral and fruit aroma with a hint of spice. The characteristic yeasty nose seems to be a bit subdued compared to some trippels I have tried, but the Czech Saaz hops are noticable.
The medium body and crisp bitter flavors are nicely balanced by the sweetness. This is a wonderful beer on the palate and the warming body lingers long after the initial sip. The flavors become more malty and complex as the glass warms up. I would recommend serving this lightly chilled and take your time through the finish. I spent a good half hour savoring the first glass...although the second went down much more quickly!
Duvel Belgian Golden Ale is extremely popular in Belgium and around the world. This beer should not be passed up if you get the chance to try it. Serve it up with a warm French artisinal bread and some soft cheeses and you will be sure to keep coming back for more.
I Remember when i was a Kid I would go out and pick wild Asperigrass Behind My Mom's And Dads House in N.J.
I Love The Stuf.

I Made A Italian Hoagie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoagie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoagie)
Sam's Has A Good Hoagie Roll, I Have Never Found Them At Wal-Mart (It Must Be Chewy To Taste Like A Real New Jersey\Philly Hoagie)
A Sub Or Grinder Is Not The Same, And You Can't Make Me Believe It No Matter How Hard You Try.
I Was Driving Down From NJ A Few Years Ago And Normally Get A Hoagie Before Leaving New Jersey But I Stopped Into A www.wawa.com (http://www.wawa.com) Store In Virgina, (WaWa Is Like A 7\11) To get A Hoagie, They Put Mustard On It!, What Were They Thinking?
Wawa Has 570 Stores In 5 States.
I Remember When I Was About 18 Me And My Friend Went Over To The Local Bakery (Our Friends Parents Owned It), And Stayed Up All Night Helping Them Make Rolls (We Did Not Have A Ride Home). We Got Home About 6am When They Delivered Them To Wawa In Marmora, N.J. Where I Lived At The Time.

In that case, I would open a tin of smoked oysters.
Or a jar of saurkraut, with a couple of Hebrew National weiners.
Sliced onions, sauteed in butter would also be an excellent choice.
Just remember not to roll over and breathe in her face.
-
I thought about fish, But I Am Making Buffalo wings.
I have not eaten oysters since I was about 5 or 6 years old
I have noticed as I get older I Have been Exploring food a bit more out of my normal diet.
I however am not going back to roadkill dinner surprise like i had when i was a kid.
Edit: Tomorrow is Salsa Chicken (Chicken In A Crock-pot With Salsa)
I Am Not sure if I Invented it but it is good

My wife and our friend had grilled lobster (one softshell and one hardshell, they split them) with cilantro-lime drawn butter. I did not, as I don't eat bugs when I can help it, and had barbecue ribs instead. We all had ears of corn and salads made from our garden. Très Bien.

When I Was A Kid In Michigan We Would Eat A "Pasty"
Here Is A Bit Of History Surrounding The "Pasty"
Note: It is said that a good pasty should be strong enough to endure being dropped down a mine shaft.

You could tell her that some people in the world are eating road kill.
We're having devilled eggs and Salade Nicoise.

Salade Niçoise
By Julia Child.
Of all main-course salads, the Niçoise is my all-time favorite, with its fresh butter-lettuce foundation; its carefully cooked, beautifully green green beans; its colorful contrast of halved hard-boiled eggs, ripe red tomatoes, and black olives; all fortified by chunks of tunafish and freshly opened anchovies. It's a perfect luncheon dish, to my mind, winter, summer, spring, and fall — an inspired combination that pleases everyone.
Ingredients:
1 large head Boston-lettuce leaves, washed and dried
1 pound green beans, cooked and refreshed
1-1/2 tablespoons minced shallots
1/2 to 2/3 cup basic vinaigrette
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 or 4 ripe red tomatoes, cut into wedges (or 10 to 12 cherry tomatoes, halved)
3 or 4 "boiling" potatoes, peeled, sliced, and cooked
Two 3-ounce cans chunk tuna, preferably oil-packed
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
1 freshly opened can of flat anchovy fillets
1/3 cup small black Niçoise-type olives
2 to 3 tablespoons capers
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
-
Julia's right, but you can vary it. For example, tonight:
1 large head Boston-lettuce leaves, washed and dried
1 pound green beans, cooked and refreshed
1-1/2 tablespoons minced shallots[/s]
1/2 to 2/3 cup basic vinaigrette
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 or 4 ripe red tomatoes, cut into wedges (or 10 to 12 cherry tomatoes, halved)
I forgot.
3 or 4 "boiling" potatoes, peeled, sliced, and cooked
Two 3-ounce cans chunk tuna, preferably oil-packed
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
One of these was deviled, and I don't mind an egg cut into quarters now and then.
1 freshly opened can of flat anchovy fillets
I wish. None around.
1/3 cup small black Niçoise-type olives
Sliced "salad" olives with pimento
2 to 3 tablespoons capers
Out
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Didn't think of it, but I'll try it next time.
-
Regarding a "Pasty": A Pasty (or two of them) is what keeps the Liquor Control Board from shutting down your strip club.
-
I Used Pillsbury Pie Crust For The Pasty
I Tried Cooking It Two Ways
1. Deep Fried
2. Baked
Deep Fried Did Not Work Too Good.
The Baked Version Did However, It Was Light And Flaky
Sue Said It Was "OK"
-
Ugh... Had to opt for Subway tonight, since I'm working very late. Now I don't feel that great...
-
I Prefer Quiznos Classic Italian
We May Take A Trip To Ruby Tuesday In Lumberton, NC Soon For Rib Eye.

I Prefer Quiznos Classic Italian
We May Take A Trip To Ruby Tuesday In Lumberton, NC Soon For Rib Eye.
No Quiznos in Bar Harbor, Maine. My closest Quiznos is 1 1/4 hour drive from my office. In fact, Subway is the only chain restaurant of any kind on the whole island.
We have plenty of other restaurants, of course, but most of them are four and five star sit-down type affairs. The others are cheaper and greasier, but nothing is quick (and I needed fast food).
BTW... Mileage/driving time to nearest (from my office):
McDonalds: 20.2 miles, approx 45min - 1hour (summer) 30 min (winter)
Wendy's: 20.6 miles, same driving time as above
Quiznos: 45.2 miles, approx 1.25 hrs (+30 minutes in summer)
Red Lobster: 54.3 miles, approx 1.4 hours winter
Arby's: 54.5 miles, approx 1.5 hours winter
Starbucks (until they close those stores): 54.4 miles, 1.5 hours winter
Starbucks (after they close those stores): 102 miles, 2.25 hours winter
Maine, especially coastal Maine, is different from most places. We don't have many chain restaurants, nothing is open 24 hours, we don't have big-box stores, and for the most part... We don't care.
Sigh... But tonight is another long one, and I think I'll end up with Subway or something similar again. Maybe I'll give myself some extra time and get some Rosalie's Pizza (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bar-Harbor-ME/Rosalies-Pizza/8713832908) though. Mmmmmm...
-
I Drove To Lumberton, NC With Sue At 4:30 So I Could Get A Rib Eye, We Have A Ruby Tuesday About 7 Miles From Me But We Always Go To Lumberton (About 45 Miles) They Season It Better.
Tonight I Found Out When You Order A Stake The Salad Bar Is Free (They Did Increase The Price $2.00 For The Rib Eye However) I Think It Was $43.00 Or So For Dinner) I Tip 20% So It Was Total About $52.00.
I Closed My Eyes When I Was Chewing, It Was So Good.
As Far As Population, I Checked Out Where I Lived In The 60's Copper Harbor In Mich, And Currently The Whole County Has Under 200 People In It.
It Is Nice Up There On The Lake.
-
I'm jealous. I ended up having nothing (didn't have enough time). Now I'm starving!!
-
I Always Keep Campbells Soup, Or Chef Boyardee On The Shelf For A Backup
Sue Just Told Me Dinner For Tomorrow Is New York Strip And Ceasar Salad.
-
I Always Keep Campbells Soup, Or Chef Boyardee On The Shelf For A Backup
Unfortunately, I'm at my "second job" and there's no personal storage space available really (and no microwave in any case). I should have at least had a candy bar or something but it didn't work out.
Oh well... I think I have enough blubber to sustain me tonight for another hour or so until I can get home! ;D
-
I Think We Are Going To Pizza Hut Tomorrow After Sues Physical Therapy.
I Like The Pan Pizza Combo
-
Homemade Red Beans and Rice. Mmmm mmm mmm! (And spicy!)
-
Cajun or mexican? I could never get into Cajun beans and rice. And as for Cajun cuisine in general, we would wash it down with plenty of Jalapeno Vodka, and that made you think the food had some sort of flavor to it.
TexMex for me, or in a pinch genuine Mex. Burritos Carnitas from a streetcorner vendor . . .
-
Homemade, so kinda my style more than anything, but leaned more towards TexMex than anything. Very good. Smokey. Had a lot of good garden veggies in it too.
Mmmmmmmm

I found a really fantastic Chicken Tikka Masala recipe the other day. I'm thinking it's time to make it again. It's been like forever (2 days) since I made it last. :D

I am not sure what we are having, sue got up at 2am to go to work today (you may ask your self who goes to work at 2am at toys R us, They have failed the last 8 Inspections, so they asked sue to come in and help).

The Kaiser Roll Kind Of Sucked

North American Goulash
I Think That Will Be Left Overs Too.

Popeye's Chicken
About 15 Mins Into It I Asked The Girl How Long Does It Take To Fry 24 Onion Rings.
It Took Them 29 Mins To Cook 24 Onion Rings.
20 People Behind The Counter, Only The Manager Seemed To Be Working.
They Just Re-Opened About 4 Weeks Ago, But They Have Always Been Bad On Service.
There Seems To Be A Communication Problem.
The Chicken Was Good However

Never ever, ever, EVER give lip to Fast Food employees. At least not until after you've gotten your food. If all they did was spit in them, you're lucky.
They're severely underpaid, underappreciated, and generally overworked (for the pay) employees. And many of them aren't the most well-adjusted teenagers to begin with anyway (especially the cooks -- otherwise they stick them on register), which is why they work at a fast food place and not at a better after school job. The bosses are usually total pricks (why else do they work at a fast food place and last long enough to become a boss) and make just being there almost unbearable. And, to top it off, the jobs are a dime-a-dozen and if you get fired you can go get another similar job across town without issue, so there's little motivation to stay on the straight and narrow.
I knew plenty of kids back in highschool who worked at places like that. I know better. Food first. Complain (if needed and worth the effort) after food is in hand.
As far as my dinner... Kung Po Chicken (extra hot). Mmmm.... Spicy, peanutty goodness!! Coulda had a fancy dinner at the Annual Meeting festivities (Duck, polenta, and a bunch of other awesome stuff), but I wanted to eat with my wife so we went out.

I Sent An E-Mail To The Corporate Office.

One Of My Favorite Dinners Is A Meat Ball Hoagie, Because it Was The First Diner I Had With My Wife In A Small Mom And Pop Diners Where We Lived Back In The 1970's
Don't Get One At Subway It Is Hazardous To Your Health.
There Is Another Meal I Like And My Wife Calls It "Wet Meat"
It Is Basically Mashed Potatoes, Ground Hamburger Broken Up, Onion Powder, Worcestershire Sauce And Gravy Made Thickened With Wonder Flower, And Salt And Pepper.
I Like To Add A Few Slabs Of butter So My Arteries Can Get Blocked.

I love meatball subs. Especially with onions. Mmmmm.... And, yes, not Subway. I try to avoid really any of Subway's "hot subs". They're mostly gross.

Last night I had:
Pan roasted Chicken leg quarters with a bourbon-wine pan sauce (with home-grown garlic, onions, and carrots). Corn-on-the-cob and steamed snow peas on the side.
It was fabulous. I managed to make it without burning the crap out of my hand too (which is a challenge with pan-roasting, I always forget that handle stays very hot when it comes out of the oven). My wife and I finished the bottle of wine too.
-
I Talked Sue Into Making "Wet Meat" Tonight.
She Also Said She Uses Beef Bullion In It.
Today I Went To Inspect A Sweet Potato\Potato Plant.
I smelled some of them fermenting

Egg Plant Parmagian, more or less. Two egg plants from my ex-wife's garden. One from mine. My sauce, made from her tomatoes. A lot of cheese.

Tues Day My Sisters Son (Who Is A Captain Of A Fishing Ship) They Only Get Scallops, Returned To Port So I Had My Sister Bring Some Up To My Moms House. There Was About 5lbs Of Them And They Were About 2 Inches Across.
My Sisters Daughter Owns A Sea Food Restaurant (Semi Closed Now Due To The Sumer Season Is Ober). They Are Still Open On Thurs, Friday, And Sat. So I Also Had Her Stop Over There, And Get Some Snow Crap, Crab Cakes, Devil Clams, And Lobster.
I Never Ate Any Of That Stuff Except Lobster When I Was About 6 Years Old And I Barfed It All Up.
My Mom Cooked It All Up, And I Was Surprised That It All Tasted Good.
