Manhattan Sour Spritz; Also, Is This a Cooking Blog Now?
Earlier today I was kinda hot from making the critical mistake of walking around in New York in the summer, so naturally the first thing I wanted to do when I got home was get my buzz on. Normally I’d reach for a light beer, but all I had in my fridge was Leffe, so I had to improvise. I’d left a bottle of Wild Turkey front and center on my liquor cart, and instantly both a Manhattan and a Whiskey sour were front and center on my mind.

The Voting Booth is not the Place for Innovation
In a hotly contested election, accusations of fraud can be just as dangerous as real fraud. Observe the behavior of developing-world despots for long enough and you will see, if you can’t change the results of an election, the next best thing is to convince everybody that they cannot trust its results.

Didn't you say you were gonna do this like 5 years ago?
Shocking, isn’t it, after a literal decade of constantly telling my friends, imaginary and otherwise, that I figured out how to do this cool thing and that they should do it, and then saying I’ll write a post about it one day, I’m actually doing it. I finally made a blog!
