Dirty Grinch

A drink made by blending Diet Coke and dill pickle seasoning.

The contemplative fella spent the entire weekend sitting by the bubbling brook, and watching the water beetles as he sipped glass after glass of Dirty Grinches.

Minnesota Crutch

Time saving BBQ technique where meat such as pork shoulder or brisket is cooked in a smoker, followed by time in a crockpot or pressure cooker. Similar to the Texas crutch but with a crock pot rather than a tinfoil wrap.

Today we used the Minnesota crutch on a smoked pork shoulder so we have more time to chop and brew.

I’ve spent years as a Mazer weaving the perfect mead recipe. Hopefully this year I’ll win a Mazer Cup!
