Cheer me up with these glasses!

How badly do I want the delicious “Ripped” and “Frogged” pint glasses for frothy bevvies, on sale at the brilliant knitting community Ravelry.
The pair, which feature the knitting terms for ripping back work when an error is found (sometimes really far back, making ripping the most dreadful of sorts) and for frogging a project off [...]

We were definitely in a pickle trying to find late night eats…

Golf claps to Roadhouse, an offshoot of my favorite local watering hole eatery in Washington Square, Publick House. While I’ve always been a bit on the fence about Roadhouse, I am pleased as punch to say they serve a late-night menu to 1:30 a.m., unlike most all other establishments around my house.
And damn if it [...]

Bitter beer face? Heck, no.

Might I suggest trying out my latest obsession? Of the drinking variety, it’s as simple as one, two, pop cap, squeeze, really. Just grab yourself an unfiltered wheat beer (I used UFO because it happened to be in my fridge at the time) and a giant pomelo, which is kind of [...]

There was not a single thing “Grim” about a place of Providence?

This Sunday I went to visit a quite good friend in the place of my birth, fittingly named Providence because any place I entered the world would be just such. Er, strike that, reverse?
Anyways, I went to visit my good mate MacKenzie and while we gorged on brunch at a little nook, never ending mugs [...]

The wrath of the grapes? No, the wrath of Jenna….and a few pints, for good measure.

Sorry for all things quiet on the Kraftworkin’ front in so many days–I’ve been spending time avoiding any crafting (a bricitis-angsty shoulder has left me to leave the sticks for a few days in the hopes of speedily diminishing that lovely ache about my arm), mostly taking to catch-up pints with some of my closest [...]

This is no slamming beer…it’s a sipping one.

As anyone who knows me well understands, if a plan doesn’t work out, and someone slyly mentions “Wouldn’t you rather nod into a pub and have a pint?”, I’m actually running…yes trotting, cantering, and half-passing toward the pub doors (dressage, anyone? in fact, yesterday, all these strides and discussions were used, including the moment in [...]

I’ll have a few cups of…beer? Cake? Beer? Cake? Oh heck, both?

For some reason, cupcakes and beer seem like an ultimate combination–welp, at least for those who actually like these mini-cakes with fluffy homemade marshmallow topping. And so, I whipped up a batch of these babies last night to take along to Foleys Pub as random party favors…and boy were they a hit.
Not only were the [...]

Favorite Finds: Reason Number 1,576 to Adore Kitsch Tees.

So as I procrastinate on this “Holiday Dedicated to Observing The Lack of Realization that us Natives lived here first and did exist when Columbus ‘discovered’ the Americas” writing papers for library school, I decided might as well surf the internets in search of tees that will not only declare obscene things about my future [...]

“There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking.”

That statement was made by Ben Franklin, who wasn’t ever President of the United States, though many people seem to think he was. He did, however, become Postmaster General, so that’s something.

Anyway, Ben brings us to today’s post about Tom Standage’s A History of the World in Six Glasses. This book has [...]

“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore”

Amore, it is. The pizza, I mean. Not the moon.
Yesterday was a perfect fall Sunday for a homemade pizza extravaganza and post birthday eat-a-thon in the Wolf household–and so began a collaborative effort which began with my Mum making up her famous bread dough.

My sister was in charge of all things thoughtful–rolling out the dough [...]
