Friday what you sipping on update...

Sippin on Stump Knocker American Pale Ale by Swamp Head Brewery while watching the UFC fights.

 

Red Stripes on the deck whilst cooking freshly caught rainbow trout on the grill. Had my 5 trout limit by 9:00 AM. First 70 degree day of the year.
Ya put each trout in a tin foil pouch. Rub with virgin olive oil. Fill the cavity with onions, garlic cloves, peppers, and lemon juice. 5 minutes on high flame each side. Take out of pouch and brown the skin on low flame.

 

Fell off the wagon Saturday night... judging by the throbbing, I must have landed on my head.

Still pondering

 

IPA's tonight!

 

Always a great call

 

Been cutting back... it being Lent and all. And I'm not even Catholic!

 

Believe it or not I have cut way back myself, in an effort to get into better shape, which has been working.

I have been saving it for the weekends only and even then only a few beers and I’m good.

I break the rules from time to time but overall been more disciplined the past few months.

If I cut it all together I would drop another 10lbs easily. I don’t want to stop completely so I will continue running it off.

 

be having on a these laters, good but stroooong!:

 

Damn Good IPA

 

Another round of Stump Knocker APA for this weekend.

 

Tonight I went with a couple of tall boy Budweiser’s, nothing fancy, but effective.

 

Never had those but looks interesting.

 

Saranac, brewed at the old Utica Club brewery. I recall watching as a kid on the factory tour the machinery sparkling & spinning as the bottles of beer were filled & capped & sent out. Neat stuff.

 

Now called F.X. Matt Brewing Co. We visited and took the tour the summer before last. Very enjoyable.
I have a lot of family on both sides in the Syracuse-Rome-Utica area. Dad graduated from Utica College in 1951.
