On February 28 we cracked open the first beer of the first batch that we have ever made. One word: Delicious. It's a Munich Dark Lager (not a
Guiness-type stout), and as you can see it's beautifully dark and frothy. I was afraid that it would be flat like other homemade beer I have had in the past. This picture is from last night, Friday, 10 March, just before we went to the theatre to see Tempting Providence with the festival vouchers we got from Baba for Christmas (thank-you). The play was about a nurse, Myra Bennett, that had gone to Newfoundland after the first World War to help in remote areas. It was a very good play. To accompany our beer, we had supper: oxtail stew, homemade pitta bread, ajvar (roasted eggplant and red pepper middle eastern salad), and baked hummus. This week was Middle Eastern week in our kitchen. Next week, Italian.
We are in the process of making a few preparations for when Marie comes in April. This picture is our present brewing efforts. From front to back we have a carboy full of Australian Shiraz, a batch of Winterfest Ale and a batch of Honey Blonde Ale. Should be good.
Finally this is a picture of the homemade pitta bread that I (Jeremi) made for supper, flat and fluffy with a well-defined pocket. Julia was very impressed.
