    Twisted Vine Brewery Closing

    Heard this morning that Twisted Vine is closing its doors on July 5th. We were just there last Saturday. I remembered they started out of St. Charles, moved to West Des Moines just south of Valley West Mall and to its current location south of Fong’s (the old Peace Tree Brewery.

    Kids leaving the nest - how to cope?

    We just remodeled our basement. Got a dumpster a few months ago and just started to get rid of stuff. Never batted an eye on some stuff. We literally filled a 20’ roll off with demo stuff and junk from around the house. We are not horders by any stretch of the imagination, but around 30 years of...

    Remembering two important World War 2 events

    I was so enamored with the Pacific War, especially with the Battle at Midway, that I took a 400 level class my last semester at ISU on the Pacific War as an elective. I got a C+ but then again I took 18 credits that spring so I could graduate.

    Red-hot Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie?

    I make a rhubarb strawberry chiffon pie. I just buy the graham cracker pie shells. Cool whip, cook rhubarb, strawberries, and sugar add jelatin and put in fridge for a couple hours. Fold the mixture into the cool whip and put in pie shells. You can freeze or put in fridge.

    Favorite part of ISU campus

    When I worked food service in Oak-Elm, the worst job the pots and pans shift. In the Spring though it was the best job. There was this secluded area on the northeast side of the building where the window viewing was perfect for sunbathing even some topless gals! :oops:

    Clearing trees in the Haunted Forest

    So a friend of yours, who has a friend that is friends with the neighbor of the lot owner’s second cousin (twice removed) boyfriend’s mom, basically told you this. Sounds solid to me! Might have to text Lee Ballard, one of the owners of the Unhaunted Forest and get the scoop.

    Clearing trees in the Haunted Forest

    Seems strange since there a few more grass lots around the stadium. I talked with Lee a couple of months ago and they were approached by a realtor who wanted to put apartments there.

    After the Watkins Glen race he was asking for a Dr. to give him a shot. Just a shock. :(

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    My grandpa told me if I ever chewed tobacco, I’d better tie my pants legs shut. I did for about a week, but it just made me jittery. His saying may have held true if I had eaten a whole bag of Lay’s Olestra Chips.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I’ve brined a whole pork loin before. About 3 hours on top rack of my smoker. I was amazed at the flavor and how moist it was. I went to 150 IT with it too.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Had a few ribs from some rib roasts that I decided to smoke and go with the Mississippi Pot Roast Method. 4 hours on the smoker at 225 then 4 hours at 250. I added some spicy beef stock along with A Jus mix and brown gravy mix. Along with pepperoncinis and juice. The meat was fall of the bone.
