My manager and the firm’s executive director brought up earlier today the idea of blocking any instant messaging applications from running on people’s computers.  This was raised as [...]

Well, it appears to be official: the Green Dragon Bistro and Pub where I have parked myself on many an evening in the last year is changing hands (technically, again) and will be fully owned and operated by Rogue Brewing.  Now, in and of itself ownership by Rogue is not a bad thing given that [...]

Christmas beer brewed! Should be a good one with fresh ginger, orange zest, vanilla, and cinnamon. About 7.5% alcohol, too. #
Making risotto with bell peppers, onion, shallot, celery, tomato, and chicken sausage using homemade chicken stock. WIN. #

As it turned out, I didn’t need to order pizza or go grab some Thai food, as the chili turned out surprisingly well.  Of course, I doused it with some Tabasco Sauce before adding shredded cheddar on top, so that extra dose of spice might have helped a bit.  But, it was thick, rich, and [...]
