Breakthrough recycles brewery waste into fuel
In a nutshell, the process extracts energy from the used grain so that it can be reused within the brewery in the beer making process. As long as I don't do anything stupid after a few beers, this is a step forward towards guilt free drinking.

Read More…Why Beer Batter is Better
Scientific American makes a pretty compelling argument for why all batters should be beer batters. In summary:
- The batter mix expands when the beer hits the hot oil, creating its signature texture.
- The foam from the beer helps insulate the middle ingredients and heats them more gently than the outer batter layer.
- Alcohol evaporates faster than water, so the item doesn't need to be cooked for as long as an non beer battered item.

I tend to do all of my cooking for the week on Sundays. It varies from week to week depending on what sounds good - it might be a stew one week, a salad the next, and a roast the week after that. Most weeks I use chicken or turkey but I have been a bit bored with the usual so I decided to make pork. I didn't really have anything in mind when searching for the recipe, I just knew that I wanted to cook it in the crock pot. My favorite source for crock pot recipes is Crockpot365, so, with that in mind I went to the site and found this recipe. I have to admit that by the end of the week I was really sick of it. But the first few days, it was great.

Antarctic Beer

Travis Kiefer, the founder, has been running a series of marathons to raise money for his organization, and this particular effort was intended to raise $27 from donors in exchange for documenting something he did in Antarctica while there for the marathon. My request was for a mug of delicious Antarctic beer. Click Read More to see it!

What was meant to be a stew turned into more of a soup. We were starving and didn't want to let some of the liquid evaporate so we ate it as it was prepared. I liked the flavor of the soup; the corn especially provided a nice contrast from the smoky chipotle flavor. If I were to make it again, the meat definitely needed to be tenderized and cooked more slowly. Adapted from Know Whey
