Finally, some big progress to report… When I started this blog I had no intention of making it a more profanity-laden version of other KC food blogs that rush to tell the exact same stories. I also didn’t intend to have a year where I only posted two new items. I don’t claim […]
What follows is the introduction to the thing I’ve been working on for a while in between life stuff and cigar writing. It’s the primary reason I haven’t been, and won’t be, publishing blog posts until the whole thing is complete. I’m not sure what I’ll do with it when it’s done, but it will […]

For example, when you realize that the time and money associated with raising the kid is going to cost you […]
PREFACE: I’m not a coffee nerd, but I know what I like. I’ve roasted my own coffee for about a dozen years and have narrowed my favorite beans down those from Ethiopia, Yemen and Sumatra (respectively- Harar, Mokha Ismaili and, when available, any available well aged Sumatran). During the winter months when I’m less inclined to trek […]
