\"\"<\/a> Hi all! I was having some technical issues with the blog yesterday and couldn’t connect to get my pictures. I called IT<\/del> Scott and he fixed the issue. Now things are working properly again!<\/p>\n

Just a few highlights from our weekend! \u00a0I was contacted by my local Whole Foods and asked to participate in their annual\u00a0Parmesan\u00a0event. \u00a0I have to create a recipe for them using parm as the main ingredient. \u00a0I swung by WF<\/abbr> on Saturday to pick up the cheese. \u00a0Exciting! \u00a0I’ll be working on my recipe this week!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I was at WF<\/abbr>, I picked up some buttermilk. \u00a0For some weird reason I have had buttermilk stuck in my head. \u00a0I wanted some so very badly! I looked and looked but could not find a local source for buttermilk. \u00a0I also could not find an organic version other than Horizon which I won’t buy, so I was stuck. \u00a0I finally broke down and bought a small container of cultured buttermilk from a source I’m not familiar with. It happens.<\/p>\n

I made pancakes for us on Sunday morning with the buttermilk and then used it in the mashed potatoes for dinner.<\/p>\n

I have to say I wasn’t all that impressed. \u00a0I thought for sure the pancakes would be a little fluffier but they weren’t. \u00a0I thought that the mashed potatoes would be a bit creamier and have a nice little tang to them but they didn’t.<\/p>\n

I’m going to make some\u00a0biscuits\u00a0with the remaining buttermilk but I don’t think I’ll be purchasing some again any time soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best part of the weekend, was some very delish Rockmill Brewery Dubbel!<\/p>\n

Rockmill <\/a>is a local brewery (out of Lancaster, OH) and they are also organic and use local spring water to make their beer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rockmill<\/a> makes Belgian style ales which Scott and I have been exploring a little more. \u00a0I recently started enjoying saisons, they are light beers but very complex. \u00a0We picked up this Dubbel knowing it would be a bit darker and to see what it was like.<\/p>\n

Nutty with a hint of carmel but not too sweet or overpowering in any way. \u00a0Both of us really enjoyed it and it would be a great beer for a warm spring afternoon!<\/p>\n

How was your weekend?<\/strong><\/p>\n
