Happy Fathers Day to all my fellow breeders! LOL! You Dads out there know that tommorow is our day, I can't wait to to spend mine grilling up some delicous food for everyone. And wives out there no offense, but since it is Father's Day let us guys get away with making a mess.  Fellas don't forget to start preparing your menu today, your food will need time to marinate.    To start, a snack, Mango Salsa with some store bought lime tortilla chips.  Mango Salsa Ingredients: 2 Mangoes, Diced 1 1/2 Cup Canned Black Beans Drained & Rinsed 1/4 cup Red Sweet Pepper Diced 2...

So last night was yet another successful STEAKNIGHT. I made my weekly trip to the liquor store and walked over to my favorite section. That section consists of all their rated beers. I grab a couple of the old faithfuls, Aventinus that is. I look left and notice A Sam Adams bottle in my rated section. The large bottle with the embossed silver label is what caught my attention. I was so curious to see what it was all about, plus chocolate and beer was definitely intriguing. I grab hold of the bottle and noticed the price $13.99 for each 750-milliliter bottle Oooff! I contemplated putting...

Over the years I have grown to like "good beers." When you're younger it's all about how many beers can you suck down in the least amount of time. While that was great and all, as you get older you tend to not want to pee 457 times in a 3 hour peiord. Why I waited this long to see what else is out there is beyond me. Now that we have done all the painstaking work of tasting delicous beers we would like to share our top 5 beers with you.  Aventinus Chimay (Red) Chimay (Blue) Dog Fish Head 90 Minute IPA   & Dog Fish Head Indian Brown Ale (Not shown, probably because we drank...

I am waiting patiently for the end of the day. Thursday is STEAKNIGHT and I am getting my bounty ready for tomorrows feast. The steaks this week are Prime Dry Aged Bone in Rib Eyes. Bought them at my local Foodtown Supermarket, they happen to have a real nice meat department, and they sell Prime Aged steaks there.  This week our steaks are going to be marinade free. Just some salt pepper, dried thyme and a little garlic powder. I'm going to try a nice sun dried tomato basil butter. If you don't have  prime steak and you want to go marinade free there is a simple effective technique...

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="108" caption=""The Party Starter""][/caption] Please allow me the privilege to introduce to you one of the greatest beers I have ever had the honor of tasting. Ladies and gentleman I give you the Aventinus wheat doppelbock. A STEAKNIGHT regular since day one. If you enjoy "good beer" this one will make it to the top of your list. All it takes is one taste and you will be hooked. Pour your Aventinus into a chilled glass and right away you get a great wheat smell, not burnt and to sweet like many american wheat beers. Take your first...
