18 Percent

After a quick hot apple + granola bar crumble snack, guess who went to BIKRAM YOGA!? Me. And willingly. I love the heat and I love my friend Seamane, who goes weekly to Wednesday’s class. And I also got a free class pass for my birthday month (yes, I realized that is over, but it’s good for 30 days past!).

The class was actually the best Bikram I’ve been to – thanks to Kirk, a super laid back (relatively) instructor who did not bark or yell at us.

I still hated the opening arm breathing.

I still hated the flip and flop savasanas in-between the second half floor poses.

But the rest of it I liked.  And that, my friends, is good!

I came home to a brewfest going on

IMG_1057Blog

The Dogfish 120 Minute IPA is hard to get your paws on. And expensive! So expensive I’m not telling how much Matt paid for this, but I can assure you it was worth it.

IMG_1059Blog

This beer is 18% alcohol. More than a glass of wine! But it tastes incredible. Sticky, toffee, hoppy good.

IMG_1054Blog

I love the 90 Minute as well!

IMG_1056BlogIMG_1052Blog

Dinner tonight was equally good.

IMG_1066Blog

I don’t buy cauliflower that much, mostly because it’s expensive (did you just read about that beer above? Hypocrite.) and it’s white. It doesn’t seem all that vegetably to me. But it IS very good for you. And if you buy expensive beers, it’s pretty cheap stuff. So I bought some at Saturday’s farmer’s market and knew exactly what I would do with it: make Whole Foods cauliflower. Luckily a famous Pea Mama already copy-catted the recipe for me!

IMG_1067Blog

But first. Let me tell you something depressing and something gross.

Somebody who had recently consumed an 18% beer grabbed a super thin tea towel to use as a pot holder and dropped the ENTIRE PAN on the floor!!! And somebody else did not clean the floors today. Or yesterday. Or the day before.

A few tears might have been shed. But then we just drank more 18% beer, checked it for giant crumbs , dirt or hairs, and put it back in the oven to kill any bacteria.

IMG_1061Blog

And then we ate it. So sue me. That’s how good MamaPea’s recipe was! [And for the record, I didn’t see any dirt or hairs, so our floors must have been pretty clean! #thisiswhyimgladidonthaveadog

IMG_1063Blog

The second equally delicious part of dinner were our bison burgers. Matt made two Rosemary Garlic buns at the bakery today. This was the BEST burger bun EVER!! The rosemary was just incredible. I swear it wasn’t the 18% – it was the bun!

IMG_1071Blog

Mine was slider-size and it was perfect.

IMG_1065Blog

With dinner we also enjoyed a beer our Pennsylvania blog friends brought us, because 18% is too much to enjoy with food 😉

IMG_1069Blog

Time for more Lord of the Rings!

    The boyfriend was just talking all about 120 minutes IPA. I asked him what the 120 minutes was referring to. Of course the little Cicerone was able to tell me-120 minutes of continuously adding hops. Too many minutes for my palate!

          I used to hate all IPAs – too bitter, too dry. But I’ve grown to love the high alcohol ones thanks to Matt’s. I LOVE the 90 and the 120 is a bit TOO strong, but I love it too. The bitterness and hops are outdone by the sweet malt

    I’ve done bikram several times in the past and liked it. Well, I like how it feels AFTER. I feel like I sweat out everything (stress, negativity, etc) and feel refreshed afterwards. Also because the room is so warm, my muscle gets looser, i.e. allows me to be more flexible! Don’t like how it feels when I enter the room though~

    I’m glad you still ate the cauliflower. I figure some floor germs are good for the immune system, right? Our dog significantly decreases the crumbage (not sure if that is a word!) around here! Haha! Whenever we are at someone’s house that doesn’t have a dog and my kids are consuming any sort of food, I always think how nice it would be if our dog was around! She tracks in plenty of her own dirt (and lots of hair!). but helps me in my efforts to keep the kitchen floor decent. 🙂

    Bahaa! I’ve tried the Dogfish 18% myself. It’s great. Probably not a good idea after sweating out all of the water you’ve consumed over the last 5 days…but it’s so flavorful. I love cauliflower. I hear it comes in purple. Purple potatoes are great, but I haven’t stumbled across purple cauliflower…yet. I’m sure I just need to be more observant at Whole Foods. How do you push through a Bikram class? I just can’t fathom it. It’s too twisted for me, and it just sounds dangerous. It reminds me of that sweat camp where all those people passed out and I think some died? I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer, but I don’t get it. I struggle enough in my 2 hour spin classes! <—with Powerade and a fan. More power to you though. I'd be very proud of myself if I could stick it out!

    One time I was serving my sister ice cream from her coveted Ben and Jerry’s stash when I accidentally dropped some on the floor. Since I feared her wrath if she found out I had wasted some of her precious pint, I observed the 5 second rule and scooped it right off the floor and into her bowl. Too bad I didn’t check to see if any of our black lab’s hairs ended up in it as well. I will end this story by saying that she was not very pleased and perhaps a bit disgusted after finding some of those hairs in.her.ben.and.jerry’s! Saying they were extra protein didn’t earn me any sister points either 😉

    Funny that cauliflower’s expensive where you are. When it’s in season here, I can buy a huge Ontario cauliflower for .99! Cheap. Roasting cauliflower is a great way to prepare it. And the white vegetable rule? — forget it. Turnips are white; parsnips are near-white. There are lots of white fruits and veg — doesn’t mean they’re any less healthy.

    One of the reasons I gave up my old blog was the hate mail I received when I would post about the many joys of not owning an animal. Pet hair and pee-less smelling home was a very high number on the list.
    For the record, I do have a pet. He lives inside my computer on the Quiznos website doing funny songs to sell sandwiches. Very low maintenance. The beer prompted me to look into mail order microbrews!

      Pets are certainly not for everyone. I have two cats, and if I did not already have them, I wouldn’t own any at all. I love them dearly but pets definitely are a lot of work. I hate to see people with pets when they don’t really want them. Like the Doberman three houses down from me who is always tied up out front. Breaks my heart.

    I just tried orange cauliflower for the first time. I know it sounds weird but it did taste different! Somehow buttery-er, mellower, yummier–we loved it! Going to try it mashed or maybe make a curried cauliflower soup with it. They had purple too but I wonder if it wouldn’t turn grey after its cooked? Might try it anyway just to see if it tastes different too.

    My husband is super picky about his food. He eats most anything, but it must be fresh. Example: If he sees a new jar of peanut butter, he will ALWAYS open it instead of using up the already opened jar. He is especially particular about meat. My uncle was cooking dinner for us, and several members of our family, about four years ago. He made an Ina Garten chicken recipe and dropped the entire pan on the floor. Luckily, no one was in the kitchen except my uncle and my mother. They picked it up and put it back in the pan. We all ate it. They ‘fessed up to me, but I told them not to tell my husband or he would not touch it. To this day he still raves about that chicken and I smile every time he mentions it because he still has no idea it ever hit the floor.

    LOL! 5 second rule (or a bit more). Well it still looks way delicious. hahaha! And 18% beer. That is pretty cool! More than my deep red cabernet sauvignon.

    I actually make cauliflower the same way but didn’t know it was a Wholefood’s staple. It’s great and I can eat a whole head of cauliflower by myself when it’s prepared using this recipe.

    I love cauliflower, but I love it covered in a mature cheese sauce and baked, then topped with cheese again, so it’s not the healthiest vegetable for me! It’s quite cheap over here. I did once make a lovely, creamy soup with it though!

    I drop stuff on the floor and eat it all the time, I’m very clumsy!

    Kath you are brave to eat that off of the floor! I will usually eat food that is more “hard” such as peanuts that have fallen or m&ms. I can’t bring myself to eat wet food but that is awesome that you don’t waste!!

    A few weeks ago my daughter had a play date and they were sharing cookies. She came down stairs crying that her friend was mad at her. She said when she gave them both a cookie, she dropped them on the floor, and they were the last two cookies. Her friend refused to eat one. My daughter was crying, “mom, tell her the 5 second rule.”

    My husband and I actually just started watching the Lord of the Rings series as well with some friends who have not seen it yet. They are not my favorite movies, but entertaining for sure and sort of addicting once you start the series. Plus, I’m a total fan of second breakfast myself 🙂

    One of the best batches of cookie-bars I ever made were accidentally dropped on the floor first (I took them out to check on them, didn’t realize how heavy the pan was, and promptly dropped it everywhere. Like you, I scooped it right back up and threw it back in the oven!) Sometimes floor germs are good for the immune system, right? No? Oh, well.

    Loved this post!

    I cringe to admit this, but I once dropped a bowl of pasta with sauce on the floor. The bowl broke and there was pasta everywhere! But I was desperate, so I scooped it up and ate it anyways. It was definitely a little crunchier than it should have been, thanks to the chips of ceramic and debris that made their way into the pasta. 😛

    Oh, I’ve totally done that – drank half a bottle of wine, then attempted dinner and dropped or screwed something up. Don’t tell my germaphobe husband he’s eaten things that fell on the floor, haha.
    I can’t believe cauliflower is an expensive veggie by you! At my farmer’s parket I can buy a big head (at least 4 servings) for similar price to 4 servings worth of broccoli, green beans, eggplant, etc., and it’s cheaper than 4 servings worth of greens, okra, and brussel sprouts. Guess it goes to show what’s more prevalent/easier to grow in different places!

    Loved this post Kath. Roasted cauliflower is so good, I have a little leftover for lunch today. With a five and six year old our house is never clean so I would have done the exact same thing with the cauliflower. I need to remember to try this recipe. How much is cauliflower in your stores? I usually pay $3-4 and consider it well worth it. Thanks for the entertaining post to brighten my morning!

And I rave about it all the time to my friends, and they are beginning to think it’s the Chupacabra of beers, that I am imagining it ever even existed. So glad you were able to experience it!

    Ohh Dogfish Head! Have you ever tried their Midas Touch? They made it for the announcement party of an archeologist’s discovery of a drinking vessel at King Midas’ burial site that contained evidence of a drink that contained barley, grapes, and honey. Beer back then contained grapes too, I guess. Anyway, I’m sure this brew doesn’t taste a thing like the ancient one… but that’s pretty cool.

    Yo hey! I wasn’t much of a cauliflower fan, myself, but I started eating it because it’s high in iron (I think?) (I have low iron levels and heard somewhere that cauliflower has a decent amount of iron…anyway.)

    Have you tried Bittman’s cauliflower with pasta? (http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/06/recipe-of-the-day-pasta-with-cauliflower/) It’s quick, easy, and better than the sum of its parts. YES!
