Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on Yesterday at 11:47:03 PMThis is an ironic conversation, because Zappa's book contains a chapter in which he discusses a theory that beer (as opposed to other forms of alcohol) somehow causes "violent male bonding". In his own idiom: "whiskey might make you want to kill your girlfriend, but beer makes you want to do it with your buddies watching".

I still have the bottle with the Lumpy Gravy album cover on it. Don't recall if the beer was any good. (I'm a huge Zappa fan.)

I was gifted a beer brewing kit by a family member for Christmas one time. It was too complicated for me, so I turned it into a wine making kit. Wine is way easier to make. The wine that I eventually made was actually pretty tasty, but the alcohol content was over the top. After one night of sampling my home made wine, my wife dumped the rest down the toilet, and threatened to leave me if I ever made wine again. I don't remember much about that night. But I imagine I was having a good time.

I will be issuing the call for submissions to Volume 5 later this year. I hope we can get some interesting recipes for this next edition.
As mentioned earlier this year, I am planning to soon open submissions to Volume 5 of the Talossan Book of Cuisine.
@Mximo Malt You submitted an oatmeal recipe some time ago so I wanted to re-confirm your wish to include it.
Also, our friendly visitor @varoneglan enquired on submitting to the Book of Cuisine. You are still welcome to do so!
