The son has a girlfriend. We like the girlfriend. I've like girlfriend longer than he has but that's another story. We love to home make stuff. Always have. Before Prince Charming and I were married we made our first built-in bookcase in my condo.
How are these things connected you ask? The girlfriend likes to make stuff too. Yesterday the two of them made beer in our kitchen. I walked into the familiar smell of mash, cooked grain. In the oven was a tray of spent grains drying. Drying grains for another use. The ultimate in "green" or "recycling" I suppose. I need no excuse to find a way to reuse something. They had already planned to do something with some of it but since they left the house leaving it on my pan in my oven using my energy I figured some of it was now mine. That's how it works around here.
Fast forward to this afternoon: we have Spent Grain Cheese Crackers smelling yummy in our house. They taste yummy too I might add.
This is not an easy recipe but if it's all easy it gets boring and you don't learn anything. For those of you who are looking for a medium challenge with a great pay off you should try this if you can get your hands on some spent grains.
