National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day

by | Leave a comment

Snuck this one in in the knick of time. Recipe from Ready For Dessert from David Lebovitz, which Elise always keeps some in the freezer for just such an occasion and only bakes a handful at a time so they’re gone before they go stale. I’m allergic to chocolate, but these are 100% worth it.

Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict

Whipped these up this morning for my first foray in poached eggs, after seeing Dave make some last weekend. Not the prettiest eggs I have ever seen, and I could have taken them out a little sooner but they went well with this weekend’s pulled pork and the hollandaise sauce I tossed a little South Carolina Mustard BBQ Sauce in and some Man Hash Browns.

A little New England Distilling mojito for Elise while she was sunbathing and reading a book yesterday. Me? I wasted away the entire day sitting on the couch recovering from Saturday’s fairly successful first BBQ with the $20 Weber turned 5AM bottle share. No pics as I was busy as hell cooking but here’s the grill menu for the day:

Upcoming Events for May

Lotta cool shit coming up this month, let’s dive right into it, shall we?

NY Burger Week | May 1st – 7th

Some pretty boss burger events, beer pairing dinners, etc. happening in NY this week. I won’t be able to make it so I will be killing it at home with some house ground half chuck, half pork belly burgers. Who wants in?

A Rare and Unique Craft Beer Experience @ Bootleggers on Broadway | May 2nd

The title may be a misnomer (at least if you’re reading this blog) but the tap list is still worthy.

Wild Game Night with Firestone Walker @ The City Beer Hall | May 2nd

Kaelin has already assured me that Wookey, 14th Anniversary (!!!), Parabola, and Sucuba is all on the menu. For the food check out Daniel B’s post.

Tree House Brewing Co. @ The Dive Bar | May 3rd

The crew from Tree House will be kicking off patio season at The Dive Bar with live music, good company and of course some Tree House beer.

Big Brew Day @ The Homebrew Emporium | May 4th

Homebrew Emporium is holding their 13th (!!!) annual Big Brew Day this Saturday with the English Dark Mild recipe found here. While the ingredients are still free, they’re asking that all brewers donate $10 to Boston Food Bank and bring a nonperishable food item for their can drive that will be running until May 5th.

Derby Day | May 4th

Time to kick back with a New England Distilling Rum Julep!

Food Truck Festival @ River Front Park | May 4th

I’m all for this. The Food Truck scene in Albany is pretty basic, consisting of the equivalent of carnie food and a sea of cupcake trucks. I’d love to see a huge movement towards some really interesting food while some of the insanely strict food truck rules getting a bit more laxed.

Three Penny Taproom’s Montbeerlier @ Langdon Street | May 4th

Three Penny’s ever growing anniversary party. Casks. Kegs. Sausages. Live music. Need I say more?? Wait, did I mention a new brew collaboration with Grassroots Brewing?

Intermezzo Release @ Carton Brewing | May 12

Green Apple and Wasabi sour. Sounds fantastic!
