mr beer

My husband is in the kitchen bottling his own beer. I bought him a kit on clearance at CVS, which he has been pretty excited about. He tasted the fermented mixture last night and declared it ready to bottle tonight, so he's in there sterilizing and filling and such. I had a moment of brilliance when he started this project. After you mix everything together, you have to let it sit for at least a week, and then it has to sit for a few more weeks. I suggested that he put it in the shower in our bathroom. It's dark, it's undisturbed by small chidlren, and if something were to go wrong and the whole thing exploded or leaked or something, it would all go down the drain instead of into my carpet, and yet, it's conveniently located. Very pleased with myself for that one. M is very pleased with myself, too, but less for that than buying the thing to begin with. He's wanted to make his own beer for years. I can see him getting into this big time, unfortunately. It's not like he needs a new project.

There was a heat wave (almost 45 degrees.. geez) today so the girl and I headed out for a round of errands this afternoon.

Theoretically, I'd like to write more, but honestly, I would really rather be curled up in bed with my book, so forget all that I was about to say, alright? Good.
