First official journal entry

[mik3cap]

My first entry! Woo!

So, let's see - yesterday I went down to Rhode Island for a first birthday party. My friend Chris and his wife Becky threw a little shindig for their son David. He is the most serious baby I've ever met, but he is truly adorable; a chip off the old block.

I got him the best present: a hammer-the-balls-in-the-thing toy. David wouldn't let go of the hammer, it was the cutest thing ever. He didn't quite get the concept of "hammering", but he certainly knew how to scratch the top of his head with it. A born tool-user if I ever saw one.

It was a BBQ, and Chris requested that I bring some of my dad's and my own world famous homemade sausage (well okay, it's not world famous, but it's good stuff). I cooked a pound each of our kalhua with cherries flavor and our mandarin orange with curacao and triplesec. Yum yum yum. I love barbecuing. Cookouts make this my favorite time of year...

Alcohol flavored sausage? How does that work exactly?

It works very well actually. :)

Mostly it's just flavoring. The kalhua with cherries is interesting because of the sweet
flavors offsetting the coffee like flavor. The alcohol burns off during cooking, leaving
just the taste behind. Mmmm.

I'm a gourmet cooking machine. *flex*

Most people know me as "the guy who makes really good pizza".
