Recipe: Easy Strawberry Pudding

Strawberry Pudding

Do you ever find yourself invited to an impromptu dinner party? Or even find yourself hosting a last-minute get-together? If you're anything like me, the answer is, "Yes, all the time."

When you're a self-proclaimed foodie and somewhat of a perfectionist on top of it, dropping by the Teeter for a couple of bakery doughnuts just doesn't cut it in these situations. You've got to make something, and you've got to make it fast.

Enter my super easy, super quick strawberry pudding. It's kind of like banana pudding but with strawberries, and it's so good that it never lasts longer than a party's end. It's creamy, cold, light and fruity. A fun dessert that everyone will enjoy ... even my friend who thinks this pudding is good to eat on saltines.

I'll stick to the Nilla Wafers.

Recipe: Bourbon Shrimp Tacos with Smoky Chipotle Sauce

Posted By on Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 12:00 PM

Cleanliness is next to deliciousness when home-brewing

Posted By on Mon, Mar 4, 2013 at 10:00 AM

I've been home-brewing for three years. It's a pretty great hobby. Unfortunately, like every good hobby, brewing has one annoying part. Wood-working has splinters, scale-model trains has being a virgin and being a Panthers fan has watching the Panthers inevitably implode. For brewing, it's cleaning.

Everything has to be clean. In housekeeping terms, that's not just "I have company coming over so I have to sweep up" sort of clean. No, it has to be "About to have your parents over so you can ask them to take out a loan to get you startup money for a business" kind of clean.

Cleaning is not what I had in mind when I signed up for brewing. I had an image of the brewers from the Sam Adams commercials: Growing a beard, wearing coveralls that showed off my beard, and cooking and sampling beers that tell others how much I love my bearded lifestyle. Finding out about the cleaning bit was like the moment when most people find out that being an astronaut involves tons of math and being a fireman involves doing ab crunches all the time so you can pose for calendars.
