Backyard BBQ brought to you by Coca-Cola

Grab your favorite fixins for a special Memorial Day weekend Supper Club BBQ. In honor of Coca-Cola's 124th birthday this month, we'll be serving grilled chicken with a special Coca-Cola glaze among other dishes. Of course there will be plenty of Coca-Cola on hand to mix with its pals, Jack Daniel's and Captain Morgan, as well as Coke Floats for the young and young at heart.

So pull out the flip-flops and bring swim suits for the kids (we'll hose 'em off if it gets too hot) and let's welcome summer. See ya soon!

2nd Meeting of 2010 at the Miranda Brewery

Take Two! Chris really now knows that life exists at forty and is in bliss that this life now includes a kegerator. Many consider Chris to be one of more adequate makers of homebrew and agree that the style, taste and color of his homebrew beats Bernie's beloved Natty Ice hands down. With age comes wisdom and Chris seems to be getting wiser (probably more of a smart ass, if that is possible) by the minute. For example after he unwrapped the packages containing his kegerator system components, he told me that it was Plato who said "He was a wise man who invented beer." However, in the back of my mind I was thinking of the saying "Give a man a beer, and he wastes an hour, but teach a man how to brew, and he wastes a lifetime." Chris is ready to get in gear and make some beer with his new keg system and thought Supper Club would be a great time for his inaugural batch to appear, so we hope you can join us. As for food, we figured a taco bar would be fun for the kids and adults. We are going to prepare two or three meat fillings for the tacos. Please let us know what food (appetizer, dessert or side dish) you would like to bring so that we can make sure we have enough food. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!

Soup's On!

The weather is chilly
with a forecast of snow,
so let's make some soup,
and the "courses" we'll forgo.
We'll make a few appetizers
and have food for the kids,
so we're hoping you'll bring soup,
whatever flavor you wish!
Just let us all know
what kind you will make
it can even be a dessert soup
in place of a cake. :)
(I'll make a soup too
and have bread for us all,)
there should be plenty of food
and we can't wait to see y'all!
