Yep.  Beer everywhere.

Since the home improvements continue, my bed is in the dining room, and my dresser is in the living room, it seemed appropriate to drown my problems in beer.

Who is with me?

Come on ride this train.

I marinated a pork loin in beer.  I put beer in the stuffing.

I even made a plum sauce with…

You guessed it.  Beer.  A Belgian Tripel actually – one of our home brews.  Chris made this one the same day I brewed an Irish Red that we later infused with Jameson’s.  Because that’s the way we roll.

I may have even poured some in a glass for personal consumption.  Because that’s the way I roll.

Hey wait!  Who drank my beer?

 

DSC_0296_01

 

Phew…that’s better.

Home improvement without home brew is unacceptable.

 

DSC_0337_01

 

So I put it everywhere.

And stuffed a pork loin.

While my tile floors are being installed.

And I’m doing my best to hang on to my sanity.

Could you kindly pass me a beer?

    I love cooking with beer. Even more than I love drinking it, I must confess! I bet this was a very rewarding dinner after all the work you’ve been doing in your home! 🙂

    Rachelle – I don’t eat pork, but you might’ve changed my mind. THIS. LOOKS. AMAZING! Triples are delicious alone, but with that stuffing and plum sauce. Wow. 😀

      Thanks Erin! I was feeling kind of crazy. Tripel home brew was a good choice! Do you eat chicken? It could work with that too I think. But I also think beer works with everything! 🙂

    This pork loin looks so good! Such a creative to enjoy pork, which I need to cook more – I always forget about pork for some reason!

      Thanks Keri! I actually don’t make it that often either. We tend to throw pork butts on the smoker in the summer though.

    Haha…this post totally made me laugh, Rachelle! I love home improvement projects, but I also hate home improvement projects. Beer makes that all better. I’m also loving how you used beer in every way possible to make this pork loin. It looks delicious! And now I’m craving a Belgian tripel…and it’s only 8:30am. Thanks a lot.
