This was dead easy and the results were pretty good, id est, there are no wings left!
Ok,pressure cook on high for 5 minutes 2 lbs of wings. I trimmed the tips and cut the sections apart.
Do the old NPR (let the pressure release slowly).
Warm the over to 450.
Dry then toss the chicken parts in BBQ sauce and dump onto a pan with some lips to it.
Into the oven for 15 minutes. I would like to broil them next time and get more of a caramelized coating.
But, all gone and we'll probably do it again.

Session Pilsner
I got this at Trader Joes. Bought just the one can, as I did with the Anchor Coffee Stout.
When I was in German as a student, we visited a brewery and had lunch with the brewmaster.
The rowdy crowd at the end of the long table asked Professorin Frau Friedlander how to ask the waitress if she was married. The brew master found this famously humerus and bellowed out a hearty laugh. He was a big guy. This 1973 and I can still see the scene.
They fed us pork cutlets and kraut mit Spaetzle and Kartoffelsalat. Plus, of course beer.
The master/Meister was asked what the difference between bier and pilsner, he replied that pilsner had less alcohol and also went through you faster.
Details, the Sessions Pilsner is 4.0% alcohol. It has a very crisp, light taste. Probably great for hot weather. I could also see this with a slice of orange in it.
Not my usual beer, but I like this.
It was about $6 per six pack, comes in cans.
Worth a try!

UK Trip Report
Dear readers,
I was hoping to have a number of entries from forays in UK pubs, but that didn't happen.
Yes, we went to a number of pubs, but the only beers they serve there are about 4% alcohol and quite clear and light. There is Guinness everywhere, but that was no strange treat.
I drank a bunch and it seems to have settled around my stomach!
Basically, I have nothing to report. Very sad, I know, but there it is. Maybe I'll have to get back to what's left of Germany to have a proper dark beer.

Anchor Coffee Porter
This is by Anchor Brewing that makes the famous Anchor Steam beer.
Alcohol 6.7%
Supposed to be brewed with coffee!
Nice dark color, thick looking, with a nice head on it.
The first taste impression was that it was a lot like Anchor Steam. Now, I've not had that in a while, but it brought back that memory.
I found it not too sweet and almost a touch of bitterness. But I'm not trying to be negative on that, it seems to compliment the flavor pretty well.
It's not very thick, I would prefer more thickness, and I think that is a function of the alcohol. If this were closer to 9%, it would probably feel thicker.
I don't taste or smell the coffee much, but that may be what's driving the bitter taste.
In summation, I like this. It's a bit expensive, almost $2 a bottle. At that, I can get Imperial Stout from the local brewery.
This might be the first beer since we got back from the UK. It's nice to get back to the darker/thicker and more alcoholic beers.
