Hi! We have a new product that we offer to you, C_I_A_L_I_S soft tabs, Cialis Soft Tabs is the new impotence treatment drug that everyone is talking about.Soft Tabs acts up to 36 hours, compare this to only two or three hours of Viagra action! The active ingredient is Tadalafil, same as in brand Cialis. Simply disolve half a pill under your tongue, 10 min before sex, for the best erections you've ever had! Soft Tabs also have less sidebacks (you can drive or mix alcohol drinks with them). You can get it at: http://glee4me.com/soft/ No thanks: http://glee4me.com/rr.php

Re: Christmas Party Recipe

by Dave Cox

Hi Jim, When it comes to cooking, I generally don't get too uptight about recipes, and I often experiment using whatever I have on hand, but here is the basic formula for the Hoppy Joes from the Christmas Party: 4# Ground Beast, browned and drained 1 Lg. can Vegetable Beef Soup 2 Sm cans Chicken Gumbo Soup 3 Med. Chopped onions 1 Cup Chopped celery 3 bottles of IPA--one in the pot and two in the cook. I used Mojo for the Christmas Party. Mustard, Ketchup, Salt and Pepper to taste. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes over low heat--longer is better. For the Christmas party I made it the night before and threw it in the crock pot on the afternoon of the party. Like a lot of things, it gets better with age. The recipe can easily be modified depending on the size of the group, but I usually make more because it works well for leftovers. I like this basic recipe for parties because it is hassle-free and goes well with a pint or two of good beer. If you use extra lean Beast and the Campbell's "Healthy Choice" version of the soups, it is actually not too bad for pub food... Cooking is a lot like brewing--Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew, and everything will be marvelous...

RE: Christmas Greetings - MHBA

by aboyce＠mn.rr.com

Good list Rick! And yes we have a January meeting scheduled - at Summit Brewing for the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out Awards Ceremony on January 29th, at 8pm. ...Unless you want to come early for a five-course beer dinner for $25, cooked by Chef Instructor Manfred Krug (yes, the son of our OWN Al Krug!), which starts at 6pm. This will be the BIGGEST club event of the year! (Yes, bigger than the Christmas Party, and bigger than the club campout!) YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS! Free Summit Beer! Free cool door prizes! Free speechifying by Chef Krug about pairing food with beer (or vice versa.... ) And oh - if you want to enter a few beers in the contest, you MIGHT take home THE GOLD as well!! See everybody there! http://www.mnbrewers.com/mashout - Al Original Message: ----------------- From: Rick Oftel Rick.Oftel(a)toro.com Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 16:47:22 -0600 To: mba(a)thebarn.com Subject: Christmas Greetings - MHBA Brewers, Gentlemen, Ladies, and Friends. Greetings from the Minnesota Homebrewers Association. I hope your Christmas or Holiday celebration is enjoyable, relaxing, and fun. Possibly you will get or give that new brewing gadget. Maybe it will be some special beer under the tree. Whatever it is, remember that all beer is brewed by a brewer with a smile on his or her face. The smile is a requirement; not an option. As I reflect back on 2004, I would like to thank the official staff of the MHBA for their participation with events, meetings, and fun stuff. It truly takes a bunch of work to keep a club together and functioning and I would like to make a toast to Jonathan and Dave for doing such a great job. Looking forward to 2005, it is always a good thing to think about change and responsibilities. Unfortunately, what usually happens is one of the board members asks the membership for assistance and no one responds. Sometimes, someone sort of responds and we twist their arm into submission but all kidding aside, your club needs you. It is time for you to ask what you can do for your club. Let me give you a hint ok? 1. Volunteer to organize a meeting by picking the location, date, and topics. Find someone in the club willing to participate or talk (can't think of many that would fit that bill). 2. Schedule a BBQ in your back yard. These events are always welcomed in most neighborhoods and unless you are hosting Mick Sterling, the events can go quite late. Best months are May to September. 3. Volunteer to be an officer for a year. The election process is fairly simple and we are always happy to include multiple names on the ballot! 4. Volunteer to coordinate a visit. This isn't very demanding but requires that you know someone in the industry. Basically, you get someone to stop at a meeting to give away free stuff and talk about a beer related subject. Simple, fairly easy, and free stuff! 5. Tell Jokes. Nothing goes further than a funny story or joke especially after a few beers. 6. Bring beer to meetings. Another popular activity that gets you noticed. Please bring your choice stuff and not the swill or the dregs. 7. Just show up. Meetings are great especially when people attend. You know that song about the tree in the forest that nobody hears. Sort of goes along with a meeting that nobody attends. So not that we have your attention, don't be shy. Send message, give us a call, e-mail Jonathan or Dave Cox. Have a great holiday and a safe New Years. See you, er,...............do we have a January meeting set up yet?
