Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout (Northcoast Brewing)
I’ll answer your likely first question. Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout by North Coast Brewing Company is sadly not made by the blood of the legendary Russian mystic. Or least the label doesn’t betray what part of Rasputin is involved if any. This was a guy poisoned and shot multiple times by the Czars and […]
Hazed and Infused Dry Hopped Ale (Boulder Beer Company)
Hazed and Infused Dry Hopped Ale from Boulder Beer Company, was a delicious surprise. The art on the can is very hippy/stoner friendly so I had some skepticism. Still it was recommended by a friend with excellent beer taste and it did not disappoint. It features fantastic citrus and almost pine like notes. The hops […]
RW Garcia Thai Sweet & Spicy Tortilla Chips w/Flaxseed
My parents picked these chips up at Homegoods for $2.49. The serving size is 7 chips. They’re non-gmo and feature 500 mg of Omega 3s per serving. The package is clearly labeled gluten free. The RW Garcia Thai Sweet and Spicy Tortilla Chips are somewhere in the middle in terms of flavor and texture. They […]
Steinfeld Gruner Veltliner 2009 Austria Review
Please don’t pass judgment but I have no recollection of buying this Steinfeld Gruner Veltliner. Neither does anyone else. All I know is that it was sitting on the wine rack, unjustly collecting dust. A lovely bottle like this should be enjoyed! Day 1: Despite the neglect, the wine greeted us warmly. It’s light with […]
And the Nerds Shall Inherit the Vines: An Interview with Tableflip Vineyard (Creemore, Ontario)
Table Flip Vineyard is a blog that will put a smile on your face. If you’re a wine fan odds are high that you’ve considered starting a winery. Most likely the idea arose while at a wine tasting, sitting on the back patio of a beautiful sprawling vineyard. After sobering up though, you realize running […]
Rood Recipes: Heirloom Tomato Salsa
Heirloom Tomatoes are another amazing summer food. If you want to get someone interested in buying produce locally or regionally, you need only walk them by a farm stand featuring heirlooms. The seeds are by definition passed down from generation to generation so what you’ll find in your area may be totally different than the […]
Garden of Eatin’ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips Review (Hain Celestial Group)
These Garden of Eatin’ Blue Chip Corn Tortilla Chips (8.1 oz, $3.19) were a case of mistaken identity. The intention was to pick up GoE’s superior Sesame Blues instead. Luckily, the regular blue chips are also decent. They’re fairly no nonsense. The chips are organic and are only made of three ingredients: blue corn, oil […]
Rood Recipes: Indian Style Green Beans Recipe
Green Beans are a must have summer food for me. I love how they’re piled high at the farmer’s market stand. It’s a bit like playing jenga – you have to be careful which beans you choose so as not to cause a mess. They make a wonderful side. One of my favorite ways to […]
Sweet Treasures, South Slope Bakery: Doughnuts
I love donuts. They’re one of the ways Homer Simpson and I see eye to eye. I was previously a Dunkin Donuts guy, then a 7-11 guy because of their 2/$1 priced glazed. Now there is a relatively new player in South Park Slope called Sweet Treasures. I wrote about these guys a little while […]
