Unless you’re on a homestead or incredibly devoted to your local farmers markets, or a modern day Martha Stewart amidst pandemic  and have a perfectly timed greenhouse then…… you’re shit out of luck if you’re looking at the photos for recipe […]

Holy nuts and bolts. We’re screwed.  Or if anyone else’s upper lip is perspiring just thinking about this past weekend then you are not alone.

Which basically is unheard of. So therefore I am probably lying. Which I am, sadly. SO I retract the losing my appetite statement. That was […]

After renting the sommelier documentary on Netflix, Somm, I lately have found myself to be a bit of a wine connoisseur. And a terrible one on that note. The acid is pungent…. much like….. grapes when fermented…….. (duh) … smells like baking spices, some sort of jelly doughnut…. a well balanced old fashioned and pepperoni […]
