Connecticut Yankee now living in East Passyunk (with a long detour through Jersey). #Engineer with a consumer goods co., play a bit of #guitar, cat dad. Foodie and love to cook!
will most likelyshitpost about the Phillies during baseball season.
Interesting, the alcohol content in the hard cider served at La Crêperie de Paris at Epcot is only 3%. Going to brew up a batch of some kind of hard cider here today, probably, and all the recipes seem to be double that. #alcohol#brewing#homebrew
At this point you have a dry cider you can keg or bottle in sanitized vessels. If desired, you can transfer off the yeast and flavor by adding hops or herbs or other things. I did lavender once and it was amazing!
I know I’m going on and on, but one thing about sweetening the cider is that unless you know that all the yeast are gone, adding sugar will restart fermentation. If you want sweet, you may need to add potassium metabisulfite to prevent refermentation.
#nowplaying Huey Lewis and the News “Fore!” Memories of high school for me. This version includes “The Power of Love” from the Back to the Future soundtrack that was not on the cassette I had back in the day.
So I'm currently toying around with NeoCities, and decided to trial it by building your classic mid '90s Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pastiche website.
Some of the most important elements are already in place.
Tile background? Large font? Heading in bright pink with a shadow? Unusual colour choices? Random cat gifs? Under construction gif? Check! Check! Check!
In the true spirit of the '90s DIY web, some more pages (including the links page) are coming soon.
(I'm thinking of adding a page dedicated to either Britney or a nu-metal band.)
#nowplaying Ray Charles, “Ray Charles Invites You to Listen”. Another from the parents collection. This record is full of slow jazz ballads and some pop covers in a very crooner style. Very much the kind of music my mom loved.
#nowplaying Another classic from the parents collection. Simon and Garfunkel “The Sounds of Silence”. This a really great album with lots of excellent songs.
#nowplaying Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet. This is a great #jazz album out of my parents collection. It’s also quite the tonal shift after the 80s silliness that was PacMan Fever.
#nowplaying A bit more 80s. Mike &The Mechanics debut album.
For me ( who owns Rutherford’s first two solo albums) this is definitely a step up from the previous solo record. This and “The Living Years” are the best from this band.
#nowplaying Tears For Fears “Songs from the Big Chair”.
Background soundtrack to my youth in the 80s. What really got me into this was the last track “Listen” which was on a mix tape I got from a girl I liked.
#nowplaying Chuck Mangione “Feels So Good”. Another out of my parents collection, and one of my favorites growing up. So much so that I recorded it to cassette for myself.
