Why Thankful Thursday? It's one of my ideas for this year to write more on my blog and it's on my Uberlist for 2012 to express thanks. What does a to do list have in common with thankfulness?

My eyes stopped on #26! We're supposed to brew this weekend, weather permitting. Drop me a line on Rav if you want watch part of the all-grain brewing process. If you want to do extract, most people do that inside, and it can steam up a kitchen pretty quickly. In other words, extract brewing is more of a fall/winter/spring activity than summer.
ReplyDeleteI love your list. #26 reminds me... I made dandelion wine for the first time last spring. I am afraid to drink it. It looks pretty in the bottle though.
