Week #5

For this week's class we took a look at how to make beer. I found it fascinating the way beer is made.I would have never guessed that beer was made in a giant jug and you put yeast in it. Yeast was definitely not an ingredient I thought went in beer. Now if Thomas Jefferson was to ask my advice for what ingredients he should grow for his new specialty beer, I would give him the ingredients for one of my favorite beers, Raspberry Wheat beer. This is a specialty beer that I have gotten at Jackie O's and I really prefer it over the brand name beers. For this beer the ingredients would include:  Carapils specialty grains, 1 oz. Tettnang, 1 oz. Hersbrucker pellet hops, 4 oz. Raspberry extract, yeast, priming sugar and a grain bag.

Also this week we tried a wide range variety of vegetables. I'll have to be honest and say that I really disliked every vegetable we tried. I'm not a big vegetable fan, except when I add something else with it. So for my new vegetable dish that I tried over the weekend, I decided to try eggplant Parmesan.  I really disliked this very much and I will not try it again. So, I have come to the conclusion that I don't have a wide variety of vegetables that I like, instead I'm very picky about which vegetables I eat.
