sorry if this is jazz...
this duo had a song on my spotify "discovery" playlist - saw this on the page and was like "no, no I don't think I'm ready for this yet"
have a listen, it's pretty good, imo

yeah,there,s a lot of that...119 girl,people having conversations in the road house,arguably filler,but there seems to always be some sort of link to the common theme,its lynch tho,he does what he wants,not enuff of that these days
i took all of that to just be a "slice of life" in twin peaks. perhaps lynch and frost took the extra space of the new season to just give us a glimpse into other residents of twin peaks, ancillary to the "storyline(s)". i enjoy that sort of thing, so the undeveloped characters really didn't bother me.

looks tasty! i need to get more into my local beer scene...

the mrs. also got me this book for xmas. it's an interesting read so far, really amazing how few monks there are at each of these monasteries...
-
got some nice gifts this xmas... i'm a few steps closer to my goal of trying all of the Trappist beers available, thanks to the Mrs.
can't wait to try them.

Beer based stews n sauces are delicious when cooked out properly, slow cooker is gonna get a workout in the cold of January so you get the full range of flavour profiles without the actual booze hits. Works with all cuts of beef, lamb & acres of veg, chin-chin
some friends of ours got us a cookbook dedicated to cooking with Belgian beer. over 100 recipes from appetizers to dessert, even one using Westvleteren 12 (who would ever cook with this instead of drinking it?!).
we had them over and tried out two dishes from the cookbook, a pork with Westmalle dubbel, and pears with Kriek. loved it.

never had the barrel aged Chimay blue, can't wait to enjoy this with my family over the holidays.

not sure (I did ask myself the same question)
damn, that website doesn't ship to the US. was gonna ask the Mrs. to get me one for Christmas :(
couldn't find one elsewhere on the internet either

http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/trappistes-rochefort-pottery-chalice
put in my xmas order with Beers of Europe and spied these pretty nifty handmade chalices (obviously I nabbed one)
that's pretty awesome! are they sanctioned by the monastery, or made by a 3rd party?

I wonder if global warming can be explained just by an entropic argument. Check this. Most animals, and humans until recently, did very little to change their surroundings, e.g., built a nest out of twigs or a dwelling out of mud and thatch.
Now take a look around at what humans have done... Buildings and roads and power lines and railways and factories and computers. That's a big fucking decrease in entropy to build all that stuff, and it has to come at a cost.
Thermodynamics says that you can never get more out than what you put in, some energy is always lost to heat. To create all this order around us had to come with a big heat penalty, thus accelerating global warming.

Yes I am in the US, and have been looking for this beer since last christmas. Finally found one locally in the summer and didn't want to waste it. It's not easy...

Definitely not a warm weather beer, which is why it's been sitting in my basement for six months. I always give it a longing glance when I am down there. Will report back after I've enjoyed it.
-
i like your style, beerwolf.
had a Rochefort 10 yesterday to celebrate the arrival of sub-freezing temperatures.
i've had this in my basement for a good six months, just waiting for the holiday season to enjoy. never tried this one before, really looking forward to it:

the mrs. got me a nice present to hold all of my trappist and other belgian beer caps. gonna hang it on the wall in the dining room.
i know, i know, some of the trappist beers on here are not from Belgium, but gimme a break.

Cracked open a 3 year old Orval. Was more smooth than the younger ones, to my unrefined palate. A great beer.

decided to trade in my car while i could still get something for it. $5k from the dealer for an 8 year-old, 4-cyl chevy malibu LTZ with 111,000 miles is not too bad in my opinion.
went with a chevy bolt EV, and am loving the whole electric car thing. my total battery range has been averaging about 250 - 260 miles. only have to charge once every other week or so while only driving to work and back. and my workplace having 220 V chargers and dedicated EV parking spots which are close to the entrance is awesome, too.
i wanted a full electric but really didn't expect to end up with a chevy. i wanted the BMW i3, but after doing some research, the chevy really does blow it out of the water, as long as you're OK with the dorkier interior styling.

some of my work was recently featured in a news video by the American Institute of Physics!

I had quite a treat last night. Went to visit some close friends after they had returned from vacationing in Europe (one is German, the other Belgian). They know I have a thing for Trappist beer, and as a birthday gift they brought me back a bottle of Westvleteren 12. I about shit a brick.
We sat there and shared it over lamb shanks, potatoes, and burgers. It was amazing. I never thought I would get to try this beer, at least without having to travel to the monastery in Belgium.

The 80s space sets were the shit, at least the blue astronaut lives on in the LEGO movies.
yeah and i like how they made his helmet cracked at the chinstrap, which is what always happened
-
i had some of those m-tron and blacktron sets as a kid. i always wanted the old space monorail set :(

I'm a big fan of Rodenbach when I feel like I want something light and refreshing, and I saw this in my local beer shop today and had to get it. The "red fruit" added is a blend of cherries and elderberries.
It's a lot like plain old Rodenbach, but a little sweeter and deeper. Very good.
