Day 4 - 1/6/2009
Jase got me a Peace Coffee Stout Porter (I didn’t know a beer could be both at the same time) beer kit for Christmas. We cooked it up last week and here I was checking the specific gravity to see when it’s ready for stage 2 fermentation. It also gives a hint as to what the alcohol content is…right now it’s at about 4% with a few weeks to go. This post reminds me, I need to still check it tonight!

Day 5 - 1/7/2009
I drove through Minnehaha Park on the way back home from an appointment today. I thought it was strange this one little area of sidewalk wasn’t buried in icy snow like the rest of the sidewalks. It snowed just a little bit this morning and the fluffy snow in the cracks made for a much more interesting sidewalk.

And the bonus - Mr. Turkey was hanging out in the park by a minivan and I thought it was someone changing the tire until I looked a bit closer so I turned around, rolled down the passenger window and snapped a few shots. Probably not such a big deal for some people but for a city girl…well, kinda cool. After a peek at his sharp little feet, I’m glad I didn’t get out of the car.
