Hey! We made it! I don't know about you all but once again this week just took it out of me. But at least we've got college basketball to keep us company in the afternoon while we pretend to work. Even I get sucked into it, and I know fuck

Hooray for the weekend once again. Thanks to having two kids, I have a plethora of fruit on hand at all times. Because nobody tells you when you have kids, you always have fruit on hand. Added to our pile of fruit, my father in law overbought on strawberries and

Happy NHL Trade deadline Friday! I'll be glued to TSN all day today, hoping the Ice Giants sell like Dan Akroyd and Eddie Murphy at the end of Trading Places. Anyway, I don't know about all of you but lately I've been feeling a little overwhelmed and exhausted. I wonder

Why hello there, and welcome to Hate Week Friday. Where oh where to begin? There is so much to hate on right now, almost too much actually. It's rather exhausting to be honest. Instead, I'm choosing to focus my time and energy on the positives going on, at least for this morning. We've

Welcome once again to Friday, the happiest day of the week. This week  I was thumbing through the Savoy cocktail book looking for inspiration and I came across a familiar looking drink: The Cooperstown Cocktail. What made it look so familiar is that it's a split vermouth base with gin.

Happy Friday friends. I’m back using the supposedly terrible Ardbeg Wee Beastie this week. Again, this isn’t the worst whisky I’ve ever had, but I don’t know if it would be high on the ordering list if I was out at a bar. Still not making a promised painkiller, though

Well, it's that time of year once again. Maybe I have a mild case of seasonal depression but it seems like this time of year, I start longing to be somewhere else. Maybe it's because after the holidays, I would prefer to skip straight to spring, and the fact that
