Yesterday was Mother’s Day, and I decided to do something special for my mom. I thought, why not bake her some cookies? She loves sweets, and I figured it would be a nice homemade touch. Getting Started First, I needed to find a recipe. I browsed around a bit and finally settled on a simple sugar cookie recipe. I gathered all the ingredients: flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and some baking powder. I’m not much of a baker, so I made sure I had everything laid out before I…

Okay, so I’ve been craving something sweet and a bit fancy lately, and I thought, why not try making a cherry cheesecake? I’ve never made one before, but I found a few tips online and decided to give it a shot. I’m going to share how it went, from start to finish. Getting Started First, I gathered all the ingredients. The main things were graham crackers for the crust, a bunch of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and of course, cherries for the topping. I also needed some butter and sour…

Okay, so yesterday I tried to cook up something simple and tasty, and let me tell you, it turned out pretty good! I decided to mess around with feta and eggs ’cause, why not? They’re both awesome. First off, I grabbed some feta cheese from the fridge. This stuff is gold, seriously. Crumbly, salty, and just delicious. I love how it’s kinda tangy, you know? Anyway, I took out a block of feta, the one made with pasteurized milk, and salt. I made sure I had some cellulose powder on…

So, the other day I was feeling kind of burnt out after a long day, you know? I really needed something to help me chill out and refresh. That’s when I remembered seeing something about a cocktail called the “White Linen.” It sounded fancy, and I figured, why not give it a shot? I went and gathered everything I needed. The main thing was gin – I used some that I already had at home. Then there was this elderflower liqueur stuff. I actually had to go out and buy…

Okay, so a few days ago, I got this wild idea to cook up some elk tenderloin. Never done it before, but hey, there’s a first time for everything, right? I did a quick search online and found out that cooking elk is kinda like cooking a steak or venison, but it’s smaller. Makes sense. Also, I learned that to make it tender, marinating overnight is the way to go. Alright, challenge accepted! First things first, I went and got myself a nice piece of elk tenderloin. Looked pretty good,…

Okay, let’s talk about these whiskey pineapple drinks I whipped up the other day. I’m no bartender, but I do enjoy a good, simple cocktail, and I had some leftover pineapple from a fruit salad, so I thought, why not? I started by grabbing some regular old whiskey from my shelf. Nothing fancy, just your everyday, decent stuff. Then, I raided the fridge for the pineapple juice. Fresh would have been great, but I only had the canned kind, which is fine. I remembered seeing something online about a “Hawaiian…

So, I’ve been messing around with some bariatric-friendly desserts lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. You know, trying to find that sweet spot between satisfying my sweet tooth and not going overboard after the surgery. It’s tough, man. First, I tried to get all fancy and started whipping up some protein-packed chocolate mousse. Sounded good in theory, right? Well, the first batch, not so much. The texture was all wrong. It was like eating sweetened chalk. I ended up tossing that. It was…

So, I’ve been staring at this bottle of Chateau Lascombes 2019 for a while now. It’s like, when do I crack this thing open? It’s been sitting there, looking all fancy and whatnot. I did some digging around to figure out the best time to pop the cork. First off, I found out that this Chateau Lascombes is a big deal. It’s a Second Growth from way back in 1855. Apparently, some rich folks, including a Rockefeller, got their hands on it in the ’50s. I also read that the…

Okay, so I’ve been seeing these “cool whip recipes fruit salad” things all over the internet and thought, why not give it a shot? I mean, who doesn’t love a good fruit salad, right? Especially one that’s a bit more… dressed up. So I decided to try it out and document the whole thing, ’cause that’s what I do. First off, I gathered my fruits. I went with the usual suspects: strawberries, blueberries, some pineapple, and a kiwi, ’cause I like that little bit of green in there. I washed…

Okay, so, I gotta talk about this band, The Last Dinner Party. They popped up on my radar back in 2021. They’re from London, and they just blew up seemingly overnight. So, first things first, I started digging around to see what the deal was with this band. I learned they got signed to Island Records super early, before they even dropped their first song, “Nothing Matters.” That track, by the way, it totally killed it in the UK charts, hitting the top 20. Wild, right? Then, I kept following…
