Mead Update
I racked my mead again today. It's still nowhere near drinkable, but it's amazing the transformation from late April. The flavors are starting to come together and it looks like both will be somewhat on the dry side. I'm not sure if I'm going to sweeten them up yet.

Television
Idol is such a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm sad the season is over tonight.
Only a month or so until True Blood is back and So You Think You Can Dance is on this week!
Yes. I'm comfortable with my slight gayness when it comes to TV shows. -
Chickens in Broth
I love this recipe so much I wanted to share. For those of you who are not fond of cooking it's a very simple recipe that won't create a large number of dirty cookware.
Cookware
- One large pot with a lid.
- One long handled spoon.

Reka's temperature was down to 101.4 this afternoon and as she is eating and drinking I decided to take her home today. The vet provided me with some antibiotics and I'll be hearing back on more tests tomorrow, but at the moment everything looks good ( Read more... ) -
Update on Reka
I went in to see Reka this morning. Visiting hours started at 10AM. When I arrived they brought Reka out and she didn't look much better than she did when I dropped her off. She was still very sluggish. Her temperature dropped from 105.6 to 104, but she wasn't eating or drinking water from a bowl. I walked her briefly and then sat with her for ( Read more... )
