SCORE!! Type of day!

1) Hubby got a pass on having a hard work day.

B) My mom showed up while I was racking and back sweetening 2 batches. She actually ASKED for a tasting, and even more unbelievably, LIKED the Old Orchard Blueberry Pomegranate.

3) The hubby brought home a small but variable selection of variant refreshments for tonight. So we went across the booze board; bourbon, vodka, wine, beer, and moonshine. I fear he is going to regret morning.

D) The evil hosebeast who swindled me scan photos for 16 hours as well as make 20 copies on disc of said photos, donate photo booth and DJ service, run 2 alternate photo side shows of the scanned photos sent me a check for $400 today. Apparently, she wants a few DVD playable copies, but oh well, she will get it because she's my grandpa's wife and that it was for her mom's 100th b-day... Who lives to 100?

5) I now have about $550 extra in my budget. My mind is racing as to how to spend that. Any suggestions?

Got up early and started prepping the Eggplant that I'll be using to make either eggplant rollatini, or an Eggplant lasagna, instead of using pasta, I use thinly sliced eggplant, salted and let sit under weight to pull out the moisture and a lot of the acidity (I couldn't find any Rosa Bianca variety, these have very little acidity), I'll rinse them off and then bread them, fry them until golden and layer them with a ricotta mixture, homemade sauce and fresh mozzarella, it is really good.
I have a batch of multigrain Bread rising, that should be a nice addition to the meal.
That said....I see that my mother and my wife are starting to use the same excuses to get out of cooking.."you do it so much better"..."you can do it so much faster"....grrrrr
I'm going to order all of the seeds that I plan on starting, the garden is going to be rocking!!!

If you like german food you should Im not saying its as good as the original one in mainz but its pretty good. they brew there own beer there. They always have 4 main batches and then they will have different seasonal brews
 
It is finally happening. After beginning this hobby with all your help last July, I will be bottling my first wine tonight - WE Pinot Gris. I have wine from six other kits and a juice bucket still bulk aging. Talk about delayed gratification. I have sanitized all my equipment. I will soon descend down into my cellar and begin this final step. Wish me luck.

You have patience! Good luck!
