NOTHING!! Been sick the last 2 days doing nothing. Might even shut my computer off for the weekend.
She's fibbing, we had lunch she did not at all seem sick.
FYI the Beer Battered Fish Fry was amazing!
Oh I see how it is @Minion-Queen takes you out to lunch but when she is in my neck-of-the-woods she doesn't take me! (Kidding of course)
hey I offered the other day... but since I got sick the next good thing you avoided me
Good thing indeed. I would not have been a happy/healthy camper otherwise.

It is apparently the only thing he drinks.. Severely lacking in culture he is.

I get to play Handy Manny again and figure out where the NEW leak in the roof is at. Ugh. Who said home ownership was a good thing?

I do 5gallon batches - roughly 4KG of honey, 2 gallons of fresh (preservative free) apple juice, water to top up to 5 gallons. Add yeast from your local brew supplier (get the bucket and airlock there too). I like EC1118 champagne yeast for mead as it's capable of getting you up to nearly 20% ABV and those are some hearty and forgiving little beasties.
Google for a better recipe but that'll give you the basics.

Upvote x5Do it man, you litterally just take the honey, water, juice and yeast and throw it in a bucket for a month. It really is that easy.

I had mead at the last beerfest I went to.
Thought it was terrible.

C'est la vie
Home made is the best I've had. I like the apple / honey mix better than proper pure mead (honey only).
YMMV
(More for me!)

Was the mead crafted by someone who has experience?
And I guess there is dry meads as well.. but what I had was the best.
and @MattSpeller Oh I plan too... I plan too....

@gjacobse pro tip: better the stuff you put in is, the better the end result will be. Distilled water and high quality honey & juice (if you use it) are highly recommended.

I changed my mind and decided to grill.

Really hoping to see the ruins at Knossos tomorrow. @dominica's ankle is still terrible and she had a tough time getting to the corner store two days ago, but she is hoping to make an attempt at seeing the ruins tomorrow. It's on the chilly side out today but supposed to be three degrees warmer tomorrow. So it might work out.
