As Saturday night was approaching, my family was trying to figure out what to do for dinner. About the only thing that we could agree to make for dinner was “reservations”. Since we needed to find some fabric for a costume for a musical production, we decided to head into town for dinner.
OK, it’s official, the days are getting longer. How do I know? The girls are laying more eggs. They are not up to their normal summertime output of a dozen eggs per day, but getting six eggs in one day is a sure sign that spring will once again return to the land.
The last several weeks we have only had two or three eggs per day. When I collected eggs this evening I collected six. A nice change. I guess that the girls are happy even if yard is mostly covered in snow.
This is another malt forward beer. This is a dark Irish Red Ale. It has a bit of a fruity character balanced with roast bitterness. Pours with a nice creamy head that hangs on for a couple of minutes. The recipe came from the March/April 2009 issue of Zymurgy.
