** some have done this and added a can of cream style corn and a can of whole kernel corn. I personally dont like that in this dish. it takes away from the seafood IMO**

YUM! That looks awesome!

Thanks for starting the thread too, Revan!

[RevanChrist]

No problem. I enjoy food and cooking almost as much as I do Sabers.

[eerockk]

Me too! My love of food has also inspired me to brew beer as well. I've been brewing seriously for 4 years now. I hope this is the food/drink thread, though I can just deal with food here.

You'd get better beer at a fraction of the cost... Personally, I have sabers to save for!

The only disadvantage to homebrewing is the work involved. As a hobby, I don't see it as work though. It's always worth the effort and wait. I only drink commercial beer when I am given one, or if I want to try something for inspiration.

I am fortunate enought to have several local microbrews handy. that markety has expoded nationwide. THe locals range from some very good Karbach brewery's ROdeo Clown Double IPA
To rockwell taverns winterized ale.
A good number of local establishments are brewing their own and adding it to their menus. I am proud to say I have tried some very good beer round here.
as to the commercial one, does Shiner count? Brewed in Shiner Texas. THey only brewed  Bock for years. Awhile back they sold out and since then have expanded their brews and business exponentially.

I consider commercial brews to be those that are sold commercially, I know, seems a bt simple. With the microbreweries though, and now nanobreweries, the lines between commercial and home are beginning to blur. The prices are not blurry though... they are exorbitantly high, but one does usually get what one pays for. Homebrewers get the same, but at a fraction of the cost, and plus, like the sabers here, can be customized as desired depending on one's skill/experience.
