Drinking All Day

Today has been all about the liquids!

WaterBlog

It’s probably that time of year to break out my camelbak because my run left me thirsty. And hungry!

When I start to feel hungry, I usually start with water [and it usually works]. I drank 2 glasses (one sparkling, one still) and still felt hungry. So I ate!

Sort of. I drank!

Smoothie made with 1 small banana, 3/4 cup milk, 3 collard green leaves and 1 tbsp chia seeds. I do NOT recommend collard green leaves in smoothies unless you like the taste of veggies! Oh yeah, and Panda Puffs on top!

SmoothieBlog

After some mad computer work and 2 calls, Faith and Tate arrived!

IMG_4842Blog

Seeing as it was a Thirsty Tuesday, Matt was super excited to provide us all with a beer tasting.

IMG_4841Blog

Four Weizens to compare in a blind genre tasting. We had official scorecards!

IMG_4843Blog

Beer #1 was Matt’s homebrew.

Notes: Pineapple, low hops, tart, too sour, bubblegum, wheaty, slightly sweet. Score = 40/50.

IMG_4844Blog-2

Beer #2 was Schneider Weisse.

Notes: Sweet, bubblegum, banana, thick head, darker color, not as sweet, flat, metallic, “enjoyed the nose but not the flavor.” Score = 40/50.

IMG_4845Blog

Beer #3 was the Paulander Hefe-Weizen.

Notes: Caramel, banana, like Pumking, golden, apple juice, ice cube, unbalanced, a bit flat, not thick, small fizz, “apple cider meets banana runts.” Score = 47/50.

IMG_4847Blog-2

Beer #4 was the Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier.

Notes: Minty, metallic, vibrant yellow, lemony, crisp, yeasty, silky, well-balanced, uplifting. Score = 45/50.

IMG_4849Blog

I really enjoyed #3 & #4 but didn’t care for the first two. Sorry Matt!

IMG_4851Blog

For dinner we had a grill fest – and just happened to luck out with warm-ish weather!

IMG_4853Blog-2

We grilled tuna from the Main Street Seafood Market, plus bok choy, radicchio and portabellos. Matt seasoned them all differently (there was wochestershire, smoked paprika, olive oil and lots of pepper involved!)

DinnahBlog

And I made a bit batch of coconut butter millet on the stovetop. YUM! I just cooked the millet as normal (3:1 water to grains) and then flaked in a bunch of coconut butter in the end. Seasoned with garam masala.

IMG_4857Blog-2IMG_4860Blog

For dessert Faith and I sipped mint tea and I snagged an oatmeal cookie off the plate I made for the boys : )

Nite!

    Jealous of your beer and dinner! I want a beer tasting on demand!

    Maybe you need a ‘Kath’ waterbottle at work…that is what we do. It makes it easier to get the liquids in and when you see your snazzy waterbottle, you will be so excited to drink from it!

    “apple cider meets banana runts” = I dont even like beer and that sounds delish!

    Glad you guys could partake in the taste testing. A great “job” to have 🙂

    I actually love collards in my smoothies! Maybe its because I used flavored protein powders that mask their flavor though.

    I LOVE Weihenstephaner. I discovered it in Germany last year, was crushed to see it only in limited places for astronomical prices in Australia, and am now happily enjoying it all over Toronto! You’re spot on with the lemon-y tasting notes.

    I need to start cooking millet more! I love the stodgy texture! In Mumbai, millet flour is used a lot as an alternative to wheat flour. I actually prefer them to the actual ‘chapattis’

    Mmm…portabellos! My aunt introduced me to portabello ‘shroom “burgers” made on the grill last summer. They were so big and “meaty” that they filled me up just as much as the beef would’ve (now if only I could get my brother to eat those…hehe!).

    I should try millet. I wrote an article once and Millet has the highest protein content of all the grains. How does it taste?

    Grilling sounds like summer – bring it on…

    I am to scared to try anything other than spinach in my smoothie! Altough I was scared the first time I had spinach in it also, and I loved it. The millet sounds really good with coconut.

    I love Paulaner beer! There are only a few bars in the area where I live that carry it. I always order it when I’m there. I like that it has some carbonation to it. So tasty! 🙂

    Seems like these baby puff’s are all the rage right now in the food blogosphere. I had them in my cart, then felt weird buying baby food, so I tossed them out of my cart in the cereal aisle. I am bad.

      They aren’t baby puffs – it’s a cereal (although it is for kids 🙂 )
