some longish essays on culture, the Internet and the future. I was wondering
if this sort of encapsulated personal home page existed—and it does! I
personally REALLY like that Krish has organized the articles on the site into
a little directory. Often a blog is simply the most recent things and that
may not be a good starting point for discovering someone. #creativity #personal

this is a rather enormous blog of photography, beer reviews and a myriad of posts
on tech and culture. The beer and photography sections (and the “beertography”, of
course) are very impressive in their layout. While browsing the photos, I thought
that it’s been a long time since I’ve had a window into someone’s life like this.
On Instagram, I’ve become used to seeing a groomed pictosummary of someone’s life.
To see hundreds of their pictures is to really feel like you’re looking through

50ml McCallan’s 12 Year Double Cask
25ml fresh lemon juice
15ml agave syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 egg white (optional)
1 dash of Tangerine bitters
Directions
Add all ingredients to a shaker and shake without ice. The egg white creates thickness and a thin foam that adds to the look of the cocktail. Now add lots of cubed ice and shake hard for about 15 seconds. You can pretend you are in a Spanish band. Using a cocktail strainer and a tea strainer, strain the drink of all ice into a chilled martini glass.

Coconut Flour Porridge Breakfast Cereal (Paleo, Grain Free)
This recipe and estimated nutritional information is for 1 serving.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons organic coconut flour
2 tablespoons Trader Joe’s organic flax seeds
3⁄4 cup water
pinch of salt
1 large Farmers Hen House free rangeegg
2 teaspoons ShopRite butter
1 tablespoon ShopRite heavy cream
2 packets Splenda
Coconut Flour PorridgeCamera Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Focal length 175mm, Aperture ƒ/4, Shutter speed 1/320s, ISO 1250, Credit Khürt L. Williams, Captured 25 March, 2018,
Instructions
Beat the egg in a small bowl.
Grind the flax seeds in a small kitchen grinder.
In a small pot, heat the coconut flour, ground flax seeds, salt and water. When the porridge begins to simmer, turn the heat down to medium-low and whisk until the porridge begins to thicken.
Remove the coconut flour porridge from heat and add the beaten egg, a half at a time, while whisking continuously. Place pot back on the heat and continue to whisk until the porridge thickens.
Remove pot from the heat and continue to whisk for about 30 seconds before adding the butter, cream and sweetener.
Based on the information I compiled from FatSecret this Coconut Flour Porridge had about 345 calories, 15.5g of carbohydrate, 11.6g of protein, and 25.98g of fat.

Over the summer I experimented with Scotch-based cocktails. Why? Because I could. Because I like whisky. Because it was hot outside today and I was bored and can’t find a movie to watch on Netflix or Apple TV.
The basic Whisky Sour is whisky, some sort of souring agent, a sweet syrup, bitters and optionally, an egg white. I found a basic recipe on scotchwhisky.com.
This is my second attempt at making a Whisky Sour. On my first attempt, I used the last of my 12 Year Macallan and lemon juice concentrate and skipped the egg white. It was good, but for my second try, I used freshly squeezed lemon juice and Macallan’s 12 Year Double Cask. The Double Cask is aged in American and European Sherry seasoned oak casks.
My son helped me separate the egg white. He’s not old enough to drink but he’s an excellent chef. He has the skill to separate the egg white. I do not.
I did not have a cocktail shaker, but since I am experimenting with making cocktails, it seemed appropriate to have one. I drove around town hoping to find a cocktail mixer but none of the local liquors stores nor the grocery store sells cocktail mixers. The manager at the ShopRite even commented that, with the exception of alcohol, the store sold everything else needed to make mixed drinks.
I gave the managers at both liquors stores an odd look after being told they didn’t carry any cocktail shakers. A look that basically said, “what fracking sort of liquor store is this”? I found one a few weeks later — several in fact — when I visited Gary’s Wine & Marketplace in Hillsborough.
Here’s the recipe I used to make what I think is a delicious Whisky Sour.
