Your Cocktails May Never Be The Same!
[This is a pro-tip for my friends who enjoy a well-made cocktail once in a while] Many the classic and not-so-classic cocktail recipes call for ‘simple syrup’. But until last night I didn’t think about this basic ingredient as a blank flavor canvas on which one can splash a wide range of accent...
So her life is forfeit? Judgmental much?

Much Ado About Headgear
I've seen more than a few FB posts about the latest 'Trump scandal'. No, not that one. Apparently, during one of her costume changes on her visit to Kenya, First Lady Melania Trump was spotted wearing a Pith Helmet-inspire hat. Apparently, lacking anything else newsworthy to latch onto today...
