Louetta's Lore

[peanuts]

I've got 8 prime double french cut lamb chops on the grille right now with a six pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in the freezer getting real cold. 6 ears of jersey white corn in the pot boiling. I like to sear them burnt up a little bit on the outside and then turn the heat down low and slow cook them for about another 20 mins.

That beats what I had tonight... hot sausage made with home made tomato sauce, home grown "inferno", red, and green peppers... but no onions. If I had the onions, it would have been better than your lamb chops... wait, WHAT!!! No, yours still would be better... all I've got is liquor, no beer

Those lamb chops were spectacular with 3 ice cold beers. The sausage, peppers, and sauce sound great. I love hot sausage. But the beer makes the meal to a degree in this case. I would drink a cabernet or merlot with the lamb but I favor the beer. I think it's the being cold that makes the beer so good with the lamb where the wine is room temp.
I grew up on sausage and peppers with my mom's tomatoe sauce. She's a Scilian and her sauce was always made from her own tomatoes. We grew them in the summer and she would put up the sauce in jars for the winter. And we went through the sauce like Grant through Richmond. There was a plate of macaroni at the table with dinner everyday.

You may have read that former MIT undergrad George F. Smoot has won a share of the year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Most Boston area college students know about how in October 1958 members of the MIT LXA fraternity won lasting fame by measuring and marking the Mass. Avenue bridge by turning a pledge named Smoot end over end 364.4 times, thereby creating a new unit of measure (the Smoot) at 5' 7". That Smoot, as many would know, was Oliver R. Smoot, Jr., who matriculated about 4 years before George F. Smoot but its still an interesting story and does reveal that there are more Smoots in the world than one might have thought. George Smoot is, by the way, 6 feet tall.

Did you know that a "jiffy" is actually a unit of time?

I went to Chili's and had the chicken tacos with unsweet iced tea.

Lou,
Reminds me of a student given the task of using a barometer to determine the height of a building. He dropped the barometer from the top of the building ,determined the time it took to smash on the sidewalk below and came up with the exact height of the building , but was flunked by the professor.

. . . lamb chops . . . with a six pack of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale . . .

That sounds quite good, Ski. I like the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale too, but I discovered one that I like even better, and I wonder if you've ever tried it: New River Pale Ale. It has a similar taste but stronger, more "hoppy" I guess is how it would be described.

My personal opinion is that nothing goes better with a (beef) steak than Samuel Adams' Boston Lager.

Anyway, if you haven't, you should try the New River Pale Ale. It's surprisingly good for a southwest Virginia ale and holds its own against any of 'em in my estimation. The area down here is better known for its abundance of corn liquor, which, by the way, is exquisite.

Edit: I referred to New River Pale Ale as a southwest Virginia ale. I just discovered that the brewery is in fact in Atlanta, GA. However, it got started in Blacksburg, VA. I also notice that no retailers are listed in the New Jersey area. Too bad. Apparently this stuff is distributed in only a very limited geographic area.

Rob,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitelly look it up and try to acquire a six pack or two for sampline. The Sierra Nevada is great but not the only beer I will drink. Funny how sometimes I'll want a different taste for a different meal. I like St. Pauli Girl reg. and dark. and Beck's Dark or thier Oktoberfest sometimes. I also like Heineken and Coors reg.

..nothing goes better with a (beef) steak than Samuel Adams' Boston Lager..

Now that's a good call

[skiracer]

Now that's a good call

Spike,
Are you saying the steak and beer or that a steak and specifically a Samuel Adams Boston Lager. I can't say that I've had the Samuel Adams Boston Lager or can remember having it.
