Project Updates

Hello interblags!

Since last I blogged, I actually managed to achieve my season goal of earning my C rating in foil by taking third at a recent tournament. Huzzah!

Another project I was working on was preparing the guacamole for my friend's Tim and Chelsea's wedding. It took me a little while to figure out how to go about doing it, and I eventually came up with this basic recipe: 6 avocados, 1 mango (diced), 1 jalapeno(diced), 1 clove of garlic (mashed), garlic salt, and the juice of 4 limes, all mashed together. The avocado slicing and pitting was all done by the intrepid wedding crew, and I just had to mash it all together. Good times!


On a less winning note, we finished fermenting and bottling our beer. We named it 'Twue Wuv Wheat' in honor of Tim and Chelsea's wedding, and it was well received at the wedding. It was less enjoyed by the judges at the San Diego County Fair Homebrew Competition, who commented that it was, to quote "not a pleasure to drink". Ah well, win some, lose some.
