Current State Of Affairs, Part 2
Almost a year ago I wrote the first ‘Current State Of Affairs‘. After a year of blogging, a lot of improvements have been made but for the most part not that much has changed. There are so many aspects to blogging that it still feels incredibly overwhelming. Much of what I do here is very…
What Happens When Condescension Is The Secret Ingredient.
I recently decided to carry a friend to a beach bar, lets call it ‘La Bacane’, for some birthday drinks and possibly a bite to eat. When we got there, the place was scantily occupied by other patrons, which we assumed was due to the questionable weather we were having. Nonetheless, at that moment the…

Why You Should Be Thinking About Getting A WSET Certification.
I don’t get all the fuss about wines. I like wine. I think its a fun way to spend the afternoon. God knows it gets me real drunk, real fast, but I don’t understand the pretentious side of wine where people almost compete to detect more notes in wine, than Mozart has ever used. Wine…
Experimenting With Making The Perfect Brownie
The question whether fudgey or cakey brownies are better has been posed. While automatically my mind goes to cakey brownies, when I really think about it, fudgy brownies can be incredibly dense and overwhelming.
