Growler's Pourhouse in Charlotte, NC keeps 2 or 3 cask ales at all times. They use an antique Gaskell & Cummings beer engine from 1936 to pull these beers!

you can eat all the skins. it's just winter squash, in my experience, that has skin too tough to eat.

I'm so used to just throwing it on everything, I'm not sure I'd know when or when not to use it. Any suggestions for commonly-peppered dishes that would work better with a different spice?

if i get up VERY early, i'll eat something an hour or two after i'm up. but normally, it's just a cup of coffee for me. i'm not hungry in the mornings, and forcing myself to eat just makes me queasy. :P

I lurrrrve my Aeropress!

what?! vic firth kitchen tools? i'm in.

i work for a chiropractor who specializes in nutrition. he recommends Muscle Milk because the protein in it mimics the nutritional aspects of mother's milk, one of the most nutritional substances we ever consume. it is available in many different flavors, and is quite tasty.

make a veggie egg scramble. saute onions, peppers, spinach or kale, and some walnuts w/ spices, then add in a beaten egg or three, mix until cooked. delicious, though kinda funny-looking.

a yogurt parfait might be nice, depending on the size of the crowd -- you prob won't want to do individual parfaits for a large group. mix plain greek yogurt with Stevia and a bit of vanilla extract. layer this with blueberries or sliced strawberries, lightly sweetened granola (not too much), and some toasted nuts. Beautiful, healthy, easy, and just enough sweetness to feel like a dessert.

persimmon pudding, a delicious southern tradition! i don't have my grandmother's recipe, but you're sure to find a good one here:
