Thanksgiving with the Armstrongs

Copper Kettle

Across the street from Jesse and Aurora's house is the Copper Kettle Brewing Company.  For an early Christmas present, Jesse gave me half a batch of my choice of beer.  We brewed it together, and he'll deliver my half when he comes out here for Christmas.  The total yield will be 5 cases (12 bottles per case) of 22 ounce bottles.

The process was simple.  I picked one of the options available (I'm on a Boatmeal Stout), and

we followed all the steps in the provided recipe.  Help was available throughout the process.

It will age for about three weeks at the brewery, and then Jesse will bottle it.  We get to design our own labels, but we haven't yet.

Sunday with Angstrom

Pittsburgh Farmers' Market

Yesterday we got up bright and early while it was still cold and went to the Farmers' Market on the Strip in Pittsburgh.

We've been busy ...

but I finally got enough time to post a few Adeline pics from our last visit to Cambridge.
