Friday Libation – Irish Rose

I am not a beer drinker, much to El Granto's dismay. You see El Granto is what you would call a bit of a beer fanatic. He loves lagers and stouts, ipa's and porters, bitters and pilsners. He likes to bbq with them, cook with them, and he has even made ice cream with beer....

BBQ Area Facelift

We got a natural gas line and BBQ last spring. I knew we would use it a lot, but it is now the most used appliance in our home. I even cooked Easter turkey on the BBQ! The BBQ sits beside our A/C unit on a raised platform off our main floor deck. The raised platform...

The Chair Hunt

Two years ago, El Granto & I were walking through the Junction headed for an Americano @ Crema, when we spotted a great worn black bankers chair outside the front of a reclaimed architectural salvage shop.
