Limburger
So lets see what’s been going on. I got married, planted our rather limited garden, might be moving to the NYC area, rekindled my love of cooking and have been brewing up a storm. Same old, same old.
I’m pretty excited about the summertime weekend & holiday train service to/from Toronto. $28 round trip isn’t a bad deal – probably more expensive than driving (certainly if it’s more than just me heading up) but not prohibitively so, especially when parking is added in. And way more comfortable than the bus. They’ve got Cantillon’s Zwanze 2008 (a one-off rhubarb lambic) for sale at Beer Bistro in Toronto. If their supply holds out a few more weeks I may take advantage of the new train.
I’m continuing to experiment with the no knead bread recipe. I’ve gone up to 30% whole wheat flour without problems. I think the next step is going to be to mix in some actual whole grains (pre-cooked, I suppose) – barley, faro, whatever else I have laying around the house. Maybe I’ll sprinkle on some bulgur wheat in place of corn meal right before cooking.
It looks like I’m going to be going to ATP: NY with Woody and Patrick this fall. It’s an insane lineup with highlights including: The Jesus Lizard, Suicide, Animal Collective, The Melvins, El-P, Akron/Family, Black Dice, Antipop Consortium, The Boredoms & No Age. Zoinks.
Outside of that, I don’t know. The fruit share starts today with strawberries. A strawberry rhubarb pie can’t be far behind. Thats certainly something to look forward to.
