Brew Hauler

If you are looking for a different gift idea for a beer drinking friend, then consider this Brew Hauler build.

I built the wooden carrier all from scrap that I had around the house.

I bought a plastic toy truck at the thrift store for about $2.00. I used a hack saw to cut off the truck’s cab and screwed it to the wooden carrier.

I purchased a bottle opener and bottle top collector bin from the local hardware store. It came as a set and was labeled with Coca Cola, which I removed.

Make sure that you use a piece of hardwood for the back end. That way, when the bottle opener is screwed into the wood, it will be very secure.

I finished up by stenciling Brew Hauler on each side. You could also add the person’s name too.

A simple, inexpensive and cool gift for your brew guzzling friend. Cheers, Saluti, Kanpai, Prost, Lkheym, Salud, or Tchin Tchin. Beer brings people together!

Grilled Peaches

If you like peaches and have never tried grilling them, then you are missing out on a simple, delicious treat!

Begin with 4 (more if you like) peaches and wash under cold water. Remove most of the peach “fuzz.” It’s okay if some is left on the peach. No need to remove the skin – it will get nice and soft in the grilling process.

Gather up some butter, cinnamon, chili powder, nutmeg, and some grated parmesan cheese.

Cut the peaches in half, and remove the pit. Lay the peaches on a plate. Add a bit of butter to the center of each peach. Then, as you like, add cinnamon to a few of the peaches, nutmeg to a few others, and chili powder to those remaining. I also like to add parmesan cheese, but not too much. It gives the peach the salty flavor, along with its natural sweetness.

Arrange the peaches on the grill cut side up. Use a low heat, about 300 – 350 degrees. Once they warm up a bit, poke each peach center so that the butter and spices get distributed into the peach.

They don’t take long to cook, approximately 15 minutes. Really you are just warming and softening them up.

Eat them right off the grill or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the warm peach – just like warmed peach pie alla mode. So good and so easy!
