A good start to August



Kicked off the weekend judging at a beer comp, did close to 40 English, special bitters, ESB's and IPA's, there were 3 standout beers, one of which really put my effort to shame so I came home and flushed that keg down the drain, ready to brew it again next weekend.Went to the supermarket to buy some food, there's a lot of people shopping on saturday night! Amy Winehouse singing "Valerie" was on the car radio on the way home, what a nice tune.


Cooked a lamb shoulder in red wine and porcini mushrooms, served it on polenta nice bit of cab sav to wash it down with, oatmeal stout for desert.Sunday was a perfect Sydney winters day, blue skies and 19C, a walk to the beach spot of gardening, food shopping, kegged a Belgian Pale Ale and a UK IPA, should be ready by next weekend. Finished the day cooking
barbecued salmon on a bed of caramelised leek, atop a potato galette with a cherry tomato, thyme & lemon sauce...tasty. Most appropriate dinner music Blossom Dearie .
