My wife got me a handmade leather belt shortly after we started dating 10 years ago. I have worn it daily and its still in great shape. About two years ago I finally had to start using the next tighter hole as it has stretched, but theres definitely another 10 years of life still in it

I found a few stores that dont allow redeeming fuel with that phone number. Makes me think they set the account up for people to use, or the poor person who actually has that phone number got upset after their fuel points kept getting stolen

Thats always the first one to go when I get my springtime order. I try to make it last but its so good its hard to not reach for it

Ive been mostly doing western style with an infuser basket and a temperature controlled kettle, but I also have a gaiwan for when I feel like sitting down and doing a gongfu session.

Spring/summer Im mostly drinking chinese greens (longjing and biluochun) and high mountain oolongs (alishan, baozhong, dong ding). Fall/wintee I might still have those occasionally but Ill do more wuyi and dancong oolongs (shuixian, duckshit), and the occasional ripe puer

A new bar just opened up last week in the ground floor of our apartment building. We went a few days after their grand opening and the cocktails were great. I am very much looking forward to patronizing them more

I live in the area and while I dont have the exact numbers, Great Barrington and the surrounding towns are very predominantly white. The school is named because WEB Du Bois was born in Great Barrington

For me, Dominos is never a place I would consider getting pizza from if I want pizza. I get Dominos when I specifically want Dominos and a regular pizza wont scratch the itch for the salt bomb that shares a passing resemblance to pizza.

Same thing goes for taco bell. Id never consider it an option if I want mexican food, but sometimes its what youre craving

You dont have to switch but if someone is paying for Proton than they can utilize it for no extra charge

Wife and I have been on a Long Drink kick recently, which is ok with me, Ive been fairly overwhelmed by life so having a tasty canned drink available is convenient

Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish are both classics. Im also a big fan of Madness. For Ska-Punk you cant beat Less Than Jake

Oh man a paper plane might be my favorite cocktail. Last night I tried a Palace Hotel, it was ok, but I think I prefer a Burnt Fuselage for my cognac drinks. Tonight I kept it simple and just did some whisky in my mulled apple cider

My go to cocktail, I find the Averna much more interesting than a sweet vermouth, although I won't turn down a standard Manhattan.

  • 2 dashes Ango
  • 1oz Averna Amaro
  • 2oz Michters American Whiskey
