Shaz by the Sea

Best brunch award goes to Jimbo!! He made such an awesome spread yesterday morning. He had asked what I wanted for Mother’s Day and I said a nice brunch spread with bagels/lox and for the kids to play outside. That’s pretty much a win in my book! He went to Bagel World in Reading early in the AM and ordered ahead of time (smart!). He got my fav bagels and all the fixing for the sides - he also made bacon and eggs. He also made sure to stock up on mimosa ingredients for us.  Jim also bought me, his mom, and my mom gorgeous flowers yesterday. And on Saturday (for Noah’s birthday/baptism), he bought his sister and Grammy flowers too.  Since Jims parents stayed over this weekend, we celebrated Conor and Cadens birthday again! They sure are lucky boys. So many people love them. Thank you to everyone who sent gifts, FaceTimed, and celebrated Conor and Caden over the last week. We love all of you! Thank you again to Jimbo for celebrating all the Moms in your life and being such a caring husba

Maybe someday Jim can explain all these steps but for now, here are a few shots of Jim and fam brewing our first all grain batch. It’s now on our tap and it’s pretty awesome. I would say it’s a cross between cloud candy and santilli maybe?  All I know is there was a lot of measuring and some dry hops added after it was made, during the fermentation process.
