Beer. . .

I know. Beer is not good for you. Some people are opposed to its alcoholic content, others think it makes you fat. BUT, my honey and I were in GEG last week. A fellow flight attendant suggested that we check out a little restaurant in town called "Soulful Soups." I guess a lady opened the place and made several different soups each day to sell. It was a hit, and the restaurant had quite a few patrons while we were there. My choice for lunch was a meatball goulash. It was super-d-lish! Ok, so where does the beer come in? Well, served on the side, was a slice of light brown bread. It looked and smelled rather tempting. I hadn't quite caught what the server had said about it, so I questioned Luke. His response was, "It's Beer Bread." I had never heard of such a thing, so I bit in, and LOVED it. I got home and started in on some research to make a loaf of my own. Well, today was the day. I found recipe that sounded like it could have the same ingredients that I tasted in the slice I ate the other day. I'm rather proud of the final product. My hubby even liked it, so that's a bonus. So, tomorrow I'm going to try to come up with something to pair it with for a great fall meal. Maybe chili....maybe meatballs (I have a great recipe for those!) I can stick them in the crockpot and let them simmer all day long. Yummy! We'll see.
I broke down and purchased some fall decorations yesterday. It's just a centerpiece for the kitchen table, but I like it. It gives me some sort of feeling that fall is in the air. I'm thinking about maybe carving pumpkins this year, too. I haven't done that in YEARS and some friends of our mentioned it the other night, so we'll see! It might be fun!
Well, I'm sure I'll be back in a few days with more to share, but that's all for now. Have a great night!
