Tauntaun Sleeping Bag!

By brian | Published: December 21, 2009

Holy crap this is awesome! ThinkGeek is offering a tauntaun sleeping bag this Christmas season complete with gut filled liner and a light saber to open the tauntaun with. I totally need one of these so I have the proper receptacle to pee my pants from excitement in!

3 Floyd’s Dark Lord Pot Roast

By brian | Published: December 19, 2009

A friend gave me a bottle of the infamous 3 Floyd’s Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout a few weeks ago. I decided to use it punch up a pot roast I was making. Here’s the recipe: * 3 1/2 lb of beef shoulder or boneless chuck roast * 1 Tbsp olive or grapeseed oil * [...]

Chair Lift at Devil’s Head Breaks… What a Surprise!

By brian | Published: December 18, 2009

I love Devil’s Head. It’s the snowboarding equivalent of an old, tetanus riddled, metal jungle gym. Run by carnies and littered with overfed, pasty-faced drunks with swords strapped to their feet, this place remains one of the last great lines to that kind of true-grit American fun you could only get in the strychnine-laced 1970′s. [...]

Waxing XC Skis

By brian | Published: December 17, 2009

Chicago’s temperature index is staying comfortably below freezing now, in fact, most days this week we were below zero with windchill. I haven’t yet committed to the adjustment for riding my bike to work in the mornings, but I think I’ll start with that again next week. My plan for that is to basically dress [...]

Yeast Starter

By brian | Published: December 4, 2009

So I tried our IPA (a very loose Bell’s Two Hearted Clone) and it’s just OK. It’s not fully carbonated yet so I’m sure that will improve it’s flavor a bit, but the real issue is that it’s real thin, way too bitter (even for me), and there’s a similar, very subtle flavor in there [...]

Weaponized Egg Nog

By brian | Published: December 3, 2009

Here is a vague approximation of the wicked ass egg nog I seem to remember making for SantaKong for a few years (I scale up to use a bottle of each of the liquors). It is best served in a gas can. It pairs well with jackassery. You will have regrets, but you will have [...]

SantaKong – Saturday December 12th

By brian | Published: December 3, 2009

For low these past 8 years now a group of degenerates near and dear to my heart have been hosting Chicago’s version of the SantaCon, the inimitable (and superbly intoxicated) SANTA KONG. Yes, it’s as intimidating as a 3 story gorilla and almost as virile, too. Yes, you will get drunk, very drunk. And, yes, [...]

Your Goose Is Cooked

By matt | Published: December 3, 2009

So this year I’m making my first ever Christmas Goose. Above is a before picture. I will then put it through the paces using a combination of recipes from Jacques Pepin, Julia Child and this recipe from Bonny Wolf of NPR which Brian sent me yesterday. This one is particularly interesting because of the information [...]
