Attack of the Killer White House Sludge

[aggienaut]

   Speaking of the White House, apparently their organic garden dreams are being mired by toxic sludge left over from the Clinton Administration. Gross. (Apparently the "Sludge Lobby" may have been responsible for putting it there!)
   No word on this sludge is affecting their bees. Speaking of their bees I think I read somewhere that the breed of bees they have there specifically is from Eastern Russia or something. Sounds suspiciously communist to me. ;D


   And while I'm making a post, today I had some time to kill before Chipotle opened at 11 so I wandered around the nearby Bevmo ... which of course resulted in me buying things. I'm very pleased with my purchases though, I bought:

Curieux - an ale aged in bourbon barrels by the Allagash brewery; and
Andygator Dopplebock - a dopplebock by the Abita brewery in Louisiana

   And speaking of Abita I grabbed a rootbeer by them while I was at it and it was pretty decent.

Sigrid adores bees and knows them by 'name' and sound and all that, it's adorable ... and every time I think "Oh but Kris said x or y about bees". Just had to let you know now that I can lol.

haha knows them by name? Like oh this one is Freyja and this one is Frigg and this one is Gefjun? (:

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Haha no but when she sees one she yells 'abeille' and goes "bzzzzz" ;) Freyja is our cat, Frigg is Sigrid's second name by the way ;)

The next time you visit us I promise we will take you to the Abita brewery. My friends Evan and Kerri love beer and visit local breweries all the time and Abita is one of their favorites. They especially love their tasting room...

Re: the toxic sludge. I wonder how many other families there are out there who think they're going organic but are actually eating lead?

If you get the chance, Monteith's Brewery from the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand are a pretty good outfit. They do lots of seasonal releases which are uniformly excellent.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Russian honeybees are said to be one of the best...communist or not :p

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Specifically it was said that they're more resistant to the varroa mites, which makes sense since varroa mites were introduced from Asia and Russian bees would have developed a lot closer to them than Italian or German bees..
