Food & Beverages

Bread is my favorite food so it didn't take a global pandemic for me to start trying different recipes. Pretzel to Focaccia to pizza to Sandwich bread, I may have never gotten around to the sour dough craze but I've definitely had my fair share of carbs.

Pretzels became pretzel buns for sandwiches and the bread I couldn't get to made for great bread crumbs for fried chicken

As a Christmas gift to myself one year I decided to get myself a mead making kit, which to my surprise was basically just a gallon jug, some yeast, a bubble filter, and some directions one how to go about the process. Finding simple success in the honey brew I decided to research some other DIY brewing that I could try. I eventually would make a few ciders, wines and meads while familiarizing myself with the steps of the process and each steps purpose. This hobby would prove to be useful when the pandemic hit and getting beverages became more difficult.

Why stop at brews though, I eventually got a craving for coke-cola and set out to see if I couldn't put my own cola syrup together. To my surprise the ingredients used in creating the cola flavor are somewhat hard to come by so I was never quite able to get the cola flavor I was looking for but found making a variety of citrus and berry soda syrups quite easy.
