Which brings back memories of that day’s attempt to photograph the people of Mombasa.

our mad madam mim brew was a hit* at the 4 and 1/2th annual kenan-flagler case competition. this year, the homebrew fest coincided with another competition, of the flavor savor variety: the movember moustache competition/prostate cancer fundraiser. brew teams got extra points for moustaches, so meng made us a few. my favorite was the tom selleck.

*To be clear, what this means is, JP liked it … and no one died.

jsabs’ birthday just happened to coincide with a roller derby double header, so of course we had to go. the names alone were worth the $6 entry fee. the frosty beverages, caramel apples and cotton candy? just frosting on the jsabs birthday cake …

brewmasters (2 of 3): you gotta trust your yeast

because, really … what other choice was there but to wait and see? before the cover was even closed on the big bucket of wort, we had decided that our oktoberfest lager would, in fact, be brewed as an ale because it was less temperature sensitive and generally easier for our severe brew newbie-ness. after some weeks of wondering if our bucket o’ stuff was bubbling enough and whether it had been fermenting at all – it was time for the taste test. we tried our flat, warm beer and concluded that, not only would it not kill people, but it was quite good.

yay, baby coker!

two interviews, one job?

hoping that the fortune from my pre-interviews chinese food was going to be right on the money.

quick paper, quick tailgate

tailgate trumps paper, hands down.

brewmasters (1 of 3): is it wort it?

we had zero real idea of what we were doing, but drinking while brewing definitely helps with the creative process. it’s not supposed to be creative? oh …

making creativity look easy

inspired by an earring she saw at the vintage street fair the weekend before, cooke gets to hammerin’ – always love to see her create.

vintage, vino, and a pregnant rockstar

pretty much my favorite day in and around san fran with cooke, wine … and some of her closest west coast buds. a definite highlight was her 9ish month pregnant friend who was filling in as lead singer for her friend’s band – “just crossing something off my bucket list, so be kind.” this. momma. rocked!
