OK, so I stole my post title from the concept for Effen’s new cheeky ad campaign. I’m sure they won’t mind.
Recently, I had the pleasure of enjoying some “Liquid Luxury”—courtesy of Effen and the Effen awesome folks at Zocalo Group—while contemplating sustainable design, really cool succulent party favors and apple and bacon pizza.
And let me tell you, the [...]
No not me, the drink:
For Valentine’s Day I cooked dinner. It was good, but this is really the only thing worth posting about, if you ask me. Even Dave, not a big fan of sweet, girly drinks, loved it.
I told you about my excuse to use my frozen pomegranate. Well, as it turns out, I [...]

Marc—marketing guru, general jack-of-all trades, and personal copywriting mentor—was gracious enough to have [...]
I am clinging on to summer for dear life. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the fall, I just hate that season whose name we won’t speak that follows it.
I figure if I keep posting summer recipes I can hang on a little longer.
And we can thank our friend Mike’s mom, Mrs. Truckenmiller, for [...]
So I have to admit, even though our friend Jim is a rep for Sam Adams, I’m not a huge fan of the stuff (I do love Twisted Tea, which is owned my Sam Adam’s parent company, Boston Beer). It’s not that it’s bad per se, it’s just too … (hoppy? malty?) … something. Don’t [...]
