Meeting our Android Steemify dev + Brisket shopping with Fabio at Butcher Schell and tasting our home-made beer.

After driving home from work today around 14:00 I got a message from Ben.

The Steemify Android dev (Rene) was visiting him and he asked if I wanted to come round.

I said yes of course!

What Rene needs to do is make an app for Android that connects to our Steemify server.

He had already made some small prototypes that was cool.

I don't think he was 100% up to date yet about the awesomeness of this blockchain though so I gave a small lecture in Dutch :)

It was fun.

I didn't stay to long because I was meeting Fabio (@fabrews) later that night and I wanted to get some other stuff done.

At 18:30 I drove to Rotterdam.

I was meeting Fabio at the famous butcher Schell.

The Butcher is located in a part of Rotterdam that once was known to be avoided but not anymore.

Fabio was already there talking to the butcher about the meat and how I wanted it. It will be our first time making a brisket but he did the research. The guy's a pro.

The butcher went into the back of the store and not much later emerged with this! That looked pretty good to me. (We did buy some backup meat just in case of total failure.)

We drove to Fabio's place where he showed me the beers that we had brewed not long ago. They had been bottled 5 days ago. According to him the carbonation was not perfect yet but we did put two beers cold anyway for research purposes.

In the meantime we prepared the meat. We trimmed it and then put it in the rub. It will marinated overnight.

The beers were cold and we had a taste! O man, it was delicious but as he stated not enough carbanation yet, but the foam was already good. It just needs a bit more uupmmf.

Tomorrow is the big day.

I will fire up the grill around 9:30 and we can start the slow roasting around 10:00 in the morning.

We expect the process to take around 8-9 hours + 1 hour resting.

Later Ben will join us.

I have been looking forward to this the whole week!

Some beers, friends and good food.

Can't ask for more!
