i hope at least the pizza was tasty.

Touche, good sir. The pizza was mighty fine. Chicken and salami are a good combo.

Quote from: tribade on Wed, 01 October 2014, 02:11:25

It was great! Thanks for the compliment. I would have loved a pizza though. Sometimes nothing beats some fresh hot pizza. Definitely one of my favorite foods! I hope you enjoyed it!

I hear ya, dood, and I most definitely did! Last night was one of those nights I just wanted something really heavy and hearty. Hit the sweet spot.

I'll have to give the salmon curry a shot sometime

Thanks for the idea.

That salmon curry looks absolutely delish!!! Quite a fine meal you have there. Kinda jelly ~~~

I happened to take a shot of my meal from last night too! No way near as high quality tho~

Half a large Dominos premium chicken and salami pizza with a Newcastle.

This pizza is haunting my life! I just caught up on this thread today and now I want a pizza...and a beer...

Yeah man no problem! It was actually quite a mild curry. Here's the recipe I used: http://slimpalate.com/salmon-curry-paleo-grain-free-gluten-free/

I had it with rice, but it would be great with naan as well. Definitely needs a carb though with it. And that pizza does look pretty damn delicious too.

If you're not into fruity beer, this may not be for you. It's sort of a cross between a beer and a wine. I love it, but it's got lots of fruitiness so you may not be the biggest fan. I'd say it's definitely worth a try though if you have the opportunity.

jwaz was kind enough to give me a bottle of Rare Barrel's Fields Forever- A red sour aged in Oak barrels with strawberries. I made a fried rice dinner with a friend last night and shared it with him. It was damn tasty, even though I ended up serving the first glass slightly warmer than I would have liked. The second glass was an utter delight.

We definitely need to have a GeekHack meetup in Berkeley so we can repair to the Rare Barrel brewery and bar afterward.

Yeah, I agonized for weeks on what to do for the system. I was waffling between the MoreBeer systems, or building one myself (which would have been a fun way to learn to weld), and then I stumbled upon this shop in Fort Collins called Ruby Street Brewing that does these systems. I got them to do a custom version of their 15 gallon system so that it was flat like their 40 gallon systems. I've been waiting (im)patiently ever since.

Sooooo glad I went with Ruby. This thing is a beautiful, beautiful beast. Now I just have to decide what my first brew should be on this system.

IMO this is what a porter should be, nice full body and perfectly toasted malt, my only qualm is that the abv is a little high for my taste as it seems to overpower the remaining flavors.

6.0 abv. First time I have ever been disappointed in a vanilla porter. Has a very thin taste to it, closer to say a heavy lager. Comes on softly with a fake vanilla taste and leaves with a stale mgd taste. On the plus side, if you just drink the whole bottle at one time it is enjoyable, the problem seems to be the after taste, but it does go down smooth. Seems I need to stick to stones version.

If you want I could probably ship a few Pliny the Elders to you if you're interested. Or anything else from around these parts. I don't really need any other beers but if someone is interested I could probably get a few bottles out here and there.

Yeah the brewery is only 45 minutes away. I'm in that area about once every other week. Just let me know.

I should add that I'm in Sonoma. Lagunitas, Bear Republic, 101 North, Drakes, Russian River. There are too many to list these days.
