The trouble with buying groceries online: my wife thinking, yeah, 10kg sounds like a reasonable amount of red lentils.
It is a fucking LIFETIME SUPPLY! We're never going to eat them all, and if we try, we'll never stop pooping.
Anyone wants a kilo of lentils, hit my DMs.

I found a great cauliflower mushroom in the forest today, one of my favourite kinds of mushrooms. I was as thrilled as if I'd found a diamond ring in the gutter. I might be hooked on this mushroom hunting thing.
Also, Dageraad won a gold and a bronze medal at the Canada Beer Cup. A very good day.

2024 10° (bottled 21 months ago) and a wood fire.
I am having a day today! This beer is ridiculous.
And I'm not just saying that because I designed the recipe and own the brewery where it was brewed.

On tap: Stiff Upper Biscuit, our collaboration with Blind Enthusiasm from Edmonton. It's an English-style pub ale that we're pouring on a creamer faucet. It's a staged pour, so it takes about four minutes to pour, but this creamy boy is worth the wait.

Sauing goodbye to Another Beer Co. They're going out with the same sense of humour they always operated with.
Their closing party is this weekend. Don't miss it.

Our annual pasta sauce canning day. Started processing tomatoes before 9AM, probably done canning at 11PM and cleaned up by midnight. But we'll have somewhere between 40 and 50 quarts of beautiful sauce to get us through the year.
