I love jambalaya, and I’ll bring a bottle of my home-brewed mead. ---

Or you can just root around in the fridge and pick whatever carton of leftovers looks most appealing. It looks like we’ve settled on Menu A. Trust you folks to pick the more expensive one. _pretends to glower_ Does anyone want a green salad to go with it? and John, what the hell does mead taste like?

Jim. Palmyra. Both of you expressed interest in the game last Saturday. There’s another one Friday and another Sunday. Interested? ---

Ooo, goodie - I was going to vote for jambalaya myself. Mmmmmm, jambalaya and bread pudding! BTW - rjk is more of a beer drinker(right?), but he doesn’t know about beers around here and I don’t know beer at all. Any suggestions? A friend suggested Fat Tire ---

Hey Zyada. Between Jim, Balance, SkySlash(if he comes), and myself, we should be able to cover the beer. We’ll be bringing extra anyway. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Chef Troy \* > and John, what the hell does mead taste like? And don’t say “Chicken” or I’ll deliberately let the jambalaya burn on the bottom and give you the scorched part. What a vicious threat! I was only mildly tempted to say “chicken” anyway. Mead is honey wine. It’s sweet and deceptively smooth, with a definite honey flavor and hints of vanilla and cloves. It’s best served at room temperature or just slightly cooler. I plan to get Grace thoroughly wasted on it. 😉 ---

Hey, I run a clean operation here. I drink this stuff _myself_, you know! 🙂 For the record, the following things make an appearance in my mead-making process: honey (1.25 gallons) water Irish moss (a coagulent to remove proteins from the honey) citric acid (pH is important to yeast) yeast (and yeast nutrient, which is also yeast) gypsum (a clarifying agent) vanilla crushed cloves (in a tea strainer) All solids are removed with the sediments, and fermenting takes place in sterilized glass carboys. Now you can all sample without fear…hehehehe… ---

Yes, I generally drink beer instead of wine, but that mead sounds interesting, for one taste anyway. And jambalaya is great stuff! Will there be crawfish pie too? Filé gumbo? Big fun on the bayou? (Yes, it’s a slow night here at work.) ---

Hey rjk. I just noticed you were from Canada. You guys have good beer. Just an observation. I’ll introduce you to Shiner Bock, though. 🙂 That’s some good stuff.
