Inside The Perimeter

I am trying to support craft brewing, but they are making it harder for me to do so. I went to Monday Night Garage on Monday, and when I looked at my receipt yesterday saw this at the bottom “The 3% Service Charge goes towards our Employees’ Health and Wellness Benefits”. Nowhere was this service charge mentioned prior to my closing out my tab, nor was I given an option to not pay it. It should not be my responsibility to pay for a company’s employees’ benefits outside of the prices charged for goods and services.

Weird request: does anyone have a recommendation from where I can order custom stickers, reasonably priced? I want to order fewer than fifty of a yet-to-be-designed sticker.

It was good to see the Wheelhopper Pub Crawl come into 97 Estoria yesterday, where my buddy Hank and I were seated at the bar.

Today is the day on which I registered for BRAG.

Tonight’s home-cooked meal will be “Cajun Sausage and Potatoes” from “The ‘I Love My Instant Pot’ Affordable Meals Recipe Book” by Aileen Clark.

When Wee Little Bit was a wee lad his parents took him to get his picture taken with Santa at North Pole, New York. I know, because somewhere I have a phot of me crying on Santa’s lap.

Grading My Baking/Cooking From Yesterday

Beer Quick Bread [source: unknown] = A

English Muffins [source: “Small Batch Bakes” by Edd Kimber] = B (the recipe works, though it took much longer for my dough to rise due to cold kitchen conditions, and, I rolled my dough too thin.)

Skillet Cornbread Pudding with Ham & Pepper Jack [source: “Making It Easy” by Food Networks Kitchens] = B+ (very tasty but probably better as a side dish, and it stuck mightily to the pan in which it was baked; plenty leftover for at least four more portions.)

Wordle: four, my starter was CURVE

I have spent my adulthood acquiring recipes, and last week I purchased my final cookbook. If I come across an interesting cookbook for free I will consider claiming it.

When possible I will be making my Monday dinner, and hopefully one other night’s dinner, from a recipe found in a physical cookbook in my possession. Even if I were to cook recipes three times per week from my cookbooks on hand I will die before I have the opportunity to make more than 10% of the recipes at my fingertips.

Tonight’s recipe is “Skillet Cornbread Pudding with Ham & Pepper Jack” from the book “Food Networks Kitchens Making It Easy”.
