In case anyone wanted a tl;dr summary ;)

The sad part is restaurants know most patrons don’t want to look like a cheapskate and order the 2nd cheapest wine on the list, which usually is the most profitable wine on their menu.

I tend to avoid elaborate meals and focus on the little things that make my SO happy: cheese, red wine, dark chocolate, and edible cannabis-infused massage oils ;)

I know us “regular” people don’t need protein supplements, but I was duped into buying a tub of protein powder last year and I’ve been looking for creative ways to use it because adding plain water was just too damn boring. So if you’re like me and have some protein powder in the cupboard that’s going to waste you can…

And this is how misinformation spreads online: The news outlets publish an article based on a conjecture, and by the time experts can refute these absurd claims, the fake news has already made its way into social media.

It’s pretty safe to assume that most adults don’t know why the sky is blue either, which is why I highly recommend the book, “Homework for Grown-ups: Everything you learned at school and promptly forgot.”

My uncle has been living in the same city/house for nearly 25 years and last year he decided it was time to purchase an alarm system with surveillance cameras, a 12 gauge shotgun, and two handguns for “protection”. Mind you, he has not once witnessed or been a victim of any type of crime, but he claims he feels a lot…

Yeah, I’m definitely not a snob, but ever since I started drinking coffee black, without sugar, I tend to notice the imperfections of mass-produced, over-roasted, and badly brewed coffees even more so than I did before and I get shit from my friends who say I’m being too picky.

Specialty coffee beans might be more expensive than a lb of Folgers, but they’re still significantly cheaper than the $4 you’d have to pay for a 12oz cup of pour-over or French Press at a coffee shop. Two years ago I bit the bullet and bought a $200 coffee grinder, instead of a new coffee machine, and I couldn’t be…

Personally, I’d rather eat full-fat greek yogurt topped with fresh fruits and get my added sugar fix from my fudgie homemade brownies on the weekend.

The strawberry is the perfect vessel for the raspberry cheesecake filling.

“I simply cannot find a damn to give about craft coffee.” 

The only reason I wouldn’t start a fight on a day like this is because it took a lot of time and effort for my mother to prepare a big Thanksgiving meal and I’d feel so ashamed seeing the disappointment in her face when everyone at the table is arguing instead of enjoying their meals.

“Vegan cheese doesn’t suck”

I do this kind of writing in short intervals throughout the day: In the mornings, while taking the subway to work, I’ll jot down random thoughts and ideas in my pocket notebook; then at night I’ll do a full page of journaling in a large spiral notebook.

Me: OK Google, scare me.

I wasn’t quite expecting to wake up this morning and read an article about whisky, after a night of heavy drinking, but since I’ve gone ahead and read the entire article I might as well comment on it.

Sure, or for me, since I don’t drink soda or any sugary drinks anymore, it’s an upgrade to a boring glass of water.

Drinking beer in the afternoon has become more socially acceptable now than in the past but if you’re at work and don’t want anyone knowing you’re having a cold one with last night’s lasagna you can always pour your beer in an empty cold brew glass bottle at home, preferably the brown bottles from Stumptown, and…

I’m looking to snag a deal on a used iPhone 7. eBay has some auctions starting at $405 for the 128 GB version but Swappa has them listed at around $550. Should I wait another week or two for the prices to go down on Swappa or take my chances with eBay?
