Join me on my quest to create delicious food and to brew the most memorable cup of cold brew
Quick Overview: (Makes 4-6 servings of sauce probably) One of my favorite combinations of flavors when it comes to cooking. Tomatoes, Basile, Red Wine, and Italian Sausage make up the backbone of this savory dish. The main star of this dish is really the sauce – which can be used with any sort of pasta to […]
Quick Overview: (Makes 4-6 servings for 2 people) This is a fairly simple curry that I had once at my sister’s house and I decided I immediately needed to try remaking it myself. I’m generally not a fan of pumpkin or squash and despite that I thought this curry was delicious. Overall, this recipe is […]
So my general cooking philosophy goes as follows: Taste everything you make and adjust accordingly; a good cook is defined by their ability to adapt and create when there is no recipe before them. In other words what I’m saying is I don’t do exact measurements. I’ll tell you how much liquid or how many […]

There’s a hint of sourness and bitterness, but it’s not overwhelming and it has just enough to remind […]
I also enjoy taking pictures of wild life, particularly of ducks. The little tuxedo sucker is my sister’s cat, Echo. They adopted him about two months ago when I found out I couldn’t because my apartment manager’s had a very strict no pets policy. Most of these other photos I’ve collected over a year or […]
I dabble a bit in photography. I recently learned that the aspect of photography I enjoy playing around with the most is known as “bokeh” which is the aesthetic quality of the blur that occurs in the areas of the photo that are out of the focal point of the lens (which in this […]
So if you were anything like me when I first got into coffee then to you all coffee is I’d a vehicle with which you deliver caffeine to your body. There’s nothing wrong with that, but I’d argue that coffee is more than just a means through which you can get your morning buzz so […]
Have you ever had a cold cup of drip coffee before? It tastes like shit doesn’t it? It’s acidic, cold, and just overall a disappointing experience. Do you know why that is though? Well, it’s because when you brew coffee under hot water for extended periods of time what you end up drawing out of […]
