Beer!!!

Well we bottled the home brew today so now we need to wait a couple of weeks to actually see if it is drinkable. It smelt alright and i spent an entertaining hour or so bashing the tops on with a hammer and didn't break one! I am seriously thinking of getting a tool for doing it if we do too much more. It wasn't that bad but it could get irritating quickly i suspect. We had a wide range of "interesting" bottles to put it in. I have used stubbies this time around and i think what i really needed was a lot of those 500mL bottles instead. I think a long neck is probably a bit much and by the time i pour off the sediment i suspect that the stubbies will be too small... On the topic of beer we had a great evening with some old Beehivers and i bought some Monty Python Holy Ale. Lindsay and I thought that it tasted a bit iffy and went on too an excellent Red wine instead (we did finish it off of course, the beer that is). Can't remember what the wine was but Linday and Sue, i worked out later, bought two bottles of wine and a bottle of Champagne... We also one of our whites and some other beers first... felt fine in the morning which i'm not sure is good or bad... I cooked something from Jamie Olivers web site for a change... Pork and Rhubarb which was very nice (if i don't say so myself). Sue was amused at Linday and myself swapping recipies... very snaggy. A great evening and the children did an amusing puppet theatre to top it all off!
