Home made beer

It’s that time of year when family gets together at summertime and the good food and beverages appear all at the same time.  I don’t know about you, but I find the home-made dinners – including especially the pies and cookies – to be one of the most enjoyable things around this time of year.  It’s the fact that they are home-made with love and care that makes them so delicious and good to eat.
It’s not usually appreciated to the same extent, but why shouldn’t the same attention be given to the beverages we consume as well – in particular, the alcoholic ones?  It’s interesting, but why not as many home-made spirits around the Christmas table as home-made pies.  The proliferation and availability of beer brewing kit solutions would seem to make it an almost foregone conclusion.

Romeo y Julieta

It's the time of year around here when you can enjoy walking outside at night without having to bundle up with coats and boots or even a jacket. It kind of reminds me of the conditions we enjoyed around the time of our wedding. It was at that time too, that my husband took off for half a day in his mad search for romeo y julieta cigars so that he could hand them out the next day at the wedding.

mixtract pro

I was watching the music awards with my daughter the other night and caught the part where a famous DJ was hammering out a musical number with a solo artist. It was quite something to behold. It made me want to run out and get that numark mixtrack pro that I came across a few weeks back. It made me want to get up there on stage and make music too.

Spring flowers are just beautiful you know!

guitar

My daughter is quite fond of music and has expressed her interest in taking piano lessons among other things.I think that would be most suitable for her considering that she has long and lanky fingers like her Dad who also played piano when he was her age.

But aside from that, she has also taken up some guitar at school and so that also might be another option. Of course that means that she'll have to get the best applause guitar that she's had her eye on for the last six months or so.
