Because they took care of our cat while we were in Newport, I returned the favor and watched our neighbors two cats while they were in California. Upon return she brought us a thank you gift of regional beer.

But not just any beer.

Beer with a sense of humor.

Ah, spring in Maine. It can go from 70 degrees to snow in 24 hours.

And when the grass starts to green…
.
.
The deer start blowing winter coats.
.
.
They look like scruffy ragamuffins..
.
.
And we find clumps of hair all over the lawn.
.
.
We definitely did not.

Unfortunate typo aside, I’m going to try this and report back.

A beer that will cure your cancer! (Remember when laetrile, extracted from apricot pits, was the new miracle cure?) As for the last one, I’d start with not using a mix.

Ideally, yes.
But I do love shortcuts.

Alternately, adding powdered meringue to the mix will create a more bakery-like cake, plus it adds stability for decorating (learned when I took a Wilson cake decorating course).
Can we split the beer? I’ll share the 3 that neighbors dropped off for me!

Yep, avail at places that sell cake decorating supplies. Its primary use is in frosting.

For a really fine cake, add that beer! I worked in a supermarket bakery in high school and have never been able to eat cake or pie from one again! They use lard!

Our secret ingredient for chocolate cake is to add coffee. Either brewed coffee or instant crystals.

That beer is fuckingridiculous!
I noticed the deer coats and thought: They look weird. HA.
Please, let me know on the cake tip. That seems too easy. Right?

It was a good beer, if you like sours.
The deer are blowing coats outside, the cat is blowing a coat inside. There’s hair everywhere!
Will do on the cake.
