Book Club: We Fed An Island
Do you guys know about Jose Andres yet? He's a pretty famous chef mostly known for bringing molecular gastronomy to America from his homeland of Spain.

I tend to gravitate toward personal, spiritual, and creative life philosophy books especially for recommending on this platform, but this one was actually interesting and engaging enough that I decided to add it to my book club list. The Costa Rica Escape Manual although laced with very … Continue reading Book Club: The Costa Rica Escape Manual
Movie Night: Theater Of Life
I watched pretty great documentary the other day. Theater of Life on Netflix was very moving.

I think I felt that way about most disorders or problems people were open about. Was it me or what I was … Continue reading Why I Quit Drinking

Love List
