Infuse That Booze!!!
The weekend is nearly upon us and if you’re anything like me, it’s just about time for an adult beverage. Life, just like the weekend, is too damn short to not loosen our inhibitions every so often and enjoy the company of our friends whilst indulging in a cocktail (or 3). Our forefathers did us a solid in repealing prohibition, so how ’bout we show them a little respect? Am I right, or amiright?! Continue reading
Drink Like A Pro On St. Patty’s Day
The problem with some people is that when they aren’t drunk, they’re sober.
-William Butler Yeats
You gotta love a holiday that’s all about drinking. Sure, we all have our fair share of adult beverages during Thanksgiving and Christmas, but they’re merely masqueraded as a nice wholesome time with the ones you love…which they are…but a bit of the drink makes the holiday cheer, that much cheerier. St. Patrick’s Day, on the other hand, holds none of these pretenses. The widely accepted, practiced and promoted behavior for this glorious holiday is, to…well…to get shit faced.

It’s filled with so many nutrients, vitamins, folate and magnesium that one serving turns you into Iron Man. That IS how it works, right? Superfood makes you a superhero?
So, knowing that kale is so good for us, why are we not all running around as members of The Avengers? Something is amiss. The precise reason is that kale, on its own, tastes like a house plant. It totally sucks. Why must everything that’s good for you taste so bad?!?! I know. It totally sucks. Life is just one big conundrum. Well guess what, my little damsel in distress? Here I come to save the day… Continue reading
Chicken That’ll Change Your Life
Ok, so maybe this headline is a bit hyperbole. But, for me, I just happened to indulge in this perfect piece of poultry at a time in my life that revisionist history would demonstrate as a major turning point. It really is hard to believe that it’s been just over a year since I went to this little hole in the wall in Montego Bay three times over the course of four days. It’s equally hard to believe that after 10-plus years in the TV business, this would be the last production shoot I would be a part of. Continue reading
